Scrap Session Silkworm 48000 Fibre Switch Array 

Hi Ben. Great video my friend, great education. Please keep up the good work. Please take care and stay safe. To all members also. ☺☺☺😇😇😇

Really cool and certainly not something most people come across very often, so thank you for sharing👍👍😊

I'm quite late to this seeing this video, but the big box marked "Silkworm" is a fibre channel switch used to connect hard drives to servers. The rest of the components appear to be a Fujitsu mainframe (a server, but on steroids). It would probably connect to another disk system (several fridge-sized racks) through the Silkworm switch. The hard drive unit is out of one of those fridge-sized disk systems from Hitachi, but it's only a single piece of a giant thing. The full thing would hold 256 or 512 hard drives per rack, if i remember correctly. I've worked with many of these things and i'd guesstimate you've got somewhere between $200,000 and $500,000 worth of hardware there...

Neat to see one of these scrapped out Lots to learn with sorting I hope I find one one day Great video

always nice to see yours video, every day too

When you said "it's not all about you" to your chicken, it took a moment for me to stop laughing 😂😂😂

Love the 🐔

That was a cool scrap. I love the unusual stuff - really helps to break up the "same ole, same ole."

Great video, love the marathon scrapes. Keep it up. Thanks

this is what i'm waiting for, scrapping on the last video white van loaded with nice electronic materials, really realy COOL stuff.

Nice Ben! Took me a few days to get through this one! 😀

People wonder why server equipment costs so much. Just look at the quality of the parts and build and you see why.

That’s for the weekend ... man! I can’t resist watching it in the office ... 😃 🌟 👍 If I get fired - your fault 😛

love it

ace scrap

Another great video also love the pick up videos you do

Great to hear you have more pick ups planned! Since the slow down in the lockdown it's great it's picking up again. Good luck! And if you have the spare time and motivation, it would be awesome to follow how it's going!

That Silkworm back plane board (1:21:56) would be nice to keep, it would look good hanging on a wall as a showpiece. The dozens and dozens of gold pins look extremely impressive.

That was fun to watch , it must have been a very impressive system to see when it was running ....................... Thumbs Up

nice sesion awesome scrap i did enjoy stay well out there 👍

Love these videos Thank you

love the chicken

Awesome scrap Ben, Thanks

Thank you great video very informative two thumbs

thanks man

That thing cost tens of thousands of dollars when it was new. Next time save the boards with the gold fiber optics modulators on them, those are worth a fortune.

Very nice video fun to watch. G/F says nice shoes lol.

NIce episode Ben!

Awesome video

Looks like the same controllers are in the 3Par T400. Pull part of the handle to unlock and slide oout the node.

53:50 realy awsome collor on that one ;) yummy server to scrap woow ;)

Alright I've been waiting for a marathon, and boom! Really enjoyed Ben 👍👍

Have you thought about sending 100 grams or whatever weight you choose of the Gold Ban Crystal Oscillators to a good backyard refiner to have the knowledge of grams per kilo you can get from them? You are the only person I know that would have kilos of them.

Lovely scrap! As a cpu-collector (and general nerd), every detail counts, as with model numbers and other specs. If you can, please try to show the label on ram-sticks, cpus and other circuits up to the camera, just for a few seconds holding them still. Then those being extra curious can pause the clip, google part-numbers or other details on the chips. And possibly feedback into the comments on more detail. Thanks from Sweden!

I scrapped one of those backplane boards and got 3 grams of gold from just the plates

Great Video Ben Keep Bringing The Video's Dude Nice Server's👍👍

👏👏👏

Not only a motherboard, but a father. A motherfatherboard.

Damn that's a lot of SFP transceivers. Were they 1gbit or 10gbit transceivers?

Good evening

👍

I wonder what type those 8 gig server ram sticks are, if they are ddr 2 or 3.

I miss having chickens. Kansas

11:00 those slot-things can be worth a lot of money :)

G'day Ben.

Ben, what models and TBs are those 40 SAS drives?

Hurray 😉🙏

8:30 looks like those servers are for running j.a.r.v.i.s. it says it right there on the board, for Ironman only. TFF 42:40 Most of those little cards seems to have all SMD parts which mean it would be rather easy to depopulate them in one go in a hot sand bath.

If only you can see what the fiber madules are if they are at 11:04 might beable to make some money out of them if they are 1gb or 10gb fiber optic modules

this is like the opposite of watching eevblog

Are you seeing more server system replacements recently (past year or two)?

Este equipamento faz parte de qual sistema ? Telefonia ?

God bless. Kansas

Hi Ben I know you collect the gold pins and fingers for future gold recover , but can you sell them as they are? Thanks

The foreman has come to check your work she need a little ewaste Ben hard hat

Olá!!!! Você compra esses aparelhos?

They are hiding the screws again.

Hi Ben. I am looking to buy some toroidal transformers & capacitors for a project. Do you sell things direct to the public & how do I go about contacting you?

man ,what the hell only it man like me knows about these stuff ,those are fiber cards and the modules name are gbic ,you know how much expensive those are ,thats really waste when youre going to scarp it

Did u want me to refine just one of those gold covered chips to see exactly how much gold is in each one

Ben, I love your videos but do you know what I really like? You're kind to all animals. I even remember when you had a neighbours' cat visit. That tells me all I need to know about you. The rest is window dressing.

This type of stuff really has no re-sale value only scrap value?

Vielen Danke schönen Tag I love you Menschen I LOVE YOU 99999999999000000000000000000000000000 MILLIONEN
