AMD Responds to Radeon RX Vega Pricing Outrage - Some had claimed that AMD would be dropping its
standalone air-cooled Radeon RX Vega 64 $499 SKU in a bait-and-switch
scheme, but an official statement by the company suggests otherwise: demand of the card is merely exceeding expectations,
and AMD is working hard

Awesome that the C3000 Atom series has finally started shipping. They've had 2 core variants out, but now the real meat of the lineup is out here.

Absolutely perfect for a capable home file server, Supermicro has a tiny Mini-ITX with 8 cores and 12 SATA ports, and Gigabyte also has a great little server board.

Comes with 10Gb - nice!

Although for a file server you need a good RAID controller and a 500MHz processor so it's an overkill.

Gimme a break.. if you have an old PC it can serve easily as a file server. My file server is doing perfectly well with old Intel quad core. Don't forget you can also get a 2 bay NAS for < $150.

really depends what you will do with fileserver Smile

like NAS for movies ..you don't need anything special

but if you have +50 users and SQL server, you need expensive RAID controller

why do you need raid controller if you have more or fewer users? It either speeds up the data transfer or does backup or both. But, it doesn't matter how many users you have. These days, mechanical storage is good for backup and large files. For fast access, you shouldn't go mechanical, no mechanical RAID is going to beat a good SSD when it comes to access times and small data transfers (such as SQL queries) etc. And you can put those in RAID too.

If you're a business sure, RAID, ok too but not for personal.

SSD is expensive, raid would help for multi-access as well.
