We are in the process of building. Tuning will come in the next days.
We found out that Micron NVME's did not give us the performance we wanted thus we lost a lot of time in the setup / early test phase.

These are dual socket Chassis. We use them now as one socket , reason we can only place 8 NVME drives on the CPU. For us it was the easiest way to re-use our existing hardware and avoid high costs.
