This time they dropped the external DRAM cache for an on-chip integrated cache with only 24MB. It is unclear if they use eDRAM or (hopefully) SRAM. The BBU is still there, but much smaller and finds space on the card itself.
Of course it is faster, two times in random read and five times in random write RAID performance. The...

The Q-code was 69, which indicates “NB init.” Reducing the RAM so that only slots A+B and E+F were populated gave me code 6A, also related to Northbridge initialization.

I then switched back to the E5-2670 CPUs, which changed the behavior. The machine now gives the “all-clear” beep, switches to Q-code 62 — “SB run-time...

So the thought is to get these drives uses and fully populate the case with 8 drives.
