Achieving 11M IOPS and 66 GB/S IO on a Single ThreadRipper Workstation

Last but one job boss offered me an iMac Pro, I asked if I could just have the equivalent money for hardware and he said sure.

Which is how I ended up with an absolute monster of a work machine, these days I WFH and while work issued me a Macbook Pro it sits on the shelf behind me.

Fedora on a (still fast) Ryzen/2080 and 2x4K 27" screens vs a Macbook Pro is a hilarious no brainer for me.

Upgrading soon but can't decide whether I need the 5950X or merely want it - realistically except for gaming I'm nowhere near tapping out this machine (and it's still awesome for that an VR which is why the step-son is about to get a in his words "sick" PC).

Were you forced to make it a hackintosh to run company-required software or did you end up with a linux build?

Linux (Fedora) I was only on-site dev and everything was linux anyway.
