Did the Chinese copy Supermicro and make it better? Gooxi Review!
The Gooxi RMC2112-695-NV is a Chinese server chassis that will surprise you! It's essentially a Supermicro 826, but with a number of improvements: support for NVMe backplanes, more powerful power supplies, and the ability to purchase with peace of mind without supply chain hassles.
In this video, we take a detailed look at the Gooxi chassis. We examine the power supply certifications and the included accessory kit: rails, sleds, and bezel. We check how the backplane connects with SFF8654-8i and SFF8643 connectors, and examine the included PCIe Retimer and Redriver cards, as they are essential for NVMe support.
We lift the veil of secrecy and reveal the engineering solutions used inside. We walk through each wire running from the Power Distributor to demonstrate the power supply and wiring inside the case.
If you're looking for a 2U server case or rack-mount server chassis, this review will help you understand why Gooxi can be a great alternative to well-known platforms from Supermicro and other brands.
