Upgrading My Proxmox Server to 384GB RAM – Memory Upgrade & Benchmarks

Описание: In this video, I upgrade my Proxmox homelab server based on the Supermicro X9DRI-F motherboard from 192GB of ECC server memory to 384GB of ECC server memory.

This is a real-world server memory upgrade focused on running more virtual machines, reducing swap usage, and improving overall Proxmox performance not just chasing higher memory speed. I cover the full process from planning and installation to Proxmox memory benchmarks.
If you’re running Proxmox VE, a home server, or older enterprise hardware, this video shows why increasing memory capacity can be one of the best value improvements you can make in a homelab. You’re not locked into one setup. You can optimize for speed or capacity and that flexibility is the real power of having a homelab.

Benchmarks & Commands Used
free -h
dmidecode -t memory | egrep 'Size:|Speed:|Part Number'
apt-get install sysbench
sysbench memory --memory-block-size=1G --memory-total-size=20G --memory-oper=write run
sysbench memory --memory-block-size=1G --memory-total-size=20G --memory-oper=read run
sysbench memory --memory-block-size=1G --memory-total-size=20G --memory-oper=write run | grep -i transferred
sysbench memory --memory-block-size=1G --memory-total-size=20G --memory-oper=read run | grep -i transferred
