Posting for a friend who keeps on asking me... "So for LLMs, VRAM speed is king. But what if you bought a used server which had, for example, 80 lanes of pcie 5 available, and you bifurcated that to hold 40 SSDs @ 2x lanes, with each NVMe doing 15Gbps, that means a mirror of 40 2TB drives could potentially do 600Gbps for a 2TB model. Or if you did 80 nvme @ 1x pcie lane each, you'd get 1.2TB/sec. That seems pretty good, right? You could get pretty good speeds across any model size. ...
