As someone who has actually had to service gear inside an equinox data center I'll tell you this: mostly unstaffed yes but more secure than a bank. I had I think six layers of security to get through including badge readers, man traps, palm scanners and combination locks.

You'd be amazed what a determined meth addict with a crowbar can do.

The new ones for AI etc. are nowhere near a bank level security.

Pretty easy to knock a hole in a concrete slab wall and have full access to the goods if somebody wanted too.

[–] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 7 points 1 day ago

Looking at them I'm not even sure you'd need to break concrete, I'm pretty certain they're thin wall steel construction. A circular saw would make a nice doorway.

The thing you avoid by driving a stolen car into the outside wall.

Basically, but man traps are not usually airtight or even have a pressure differential. Usually just a room that can only be opened externally and only one exit can be opened at a time.

Also don't tell anyone about huge amounts of ram sticks that you can easily get out by hundreds.

[–] Neptr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They aren't DIMMs so basically no resale value. Only usable for data center servers.

Then they need to be freed as a whole to become data centers of the people, run by the people.

[–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are Chinese back-alley workshops already lifting the NAND modules from them and installing them on standard DIMM modules.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

DRAM*

NAND is what (some) SSDs use.

And dont forget the copper cables lining the walls, powering the systems. Absolute treasure trove in there.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I heard of a guy who not only sold the copper but also the palladium and gold and made a fortune. Now he drives a Mercedes.

I don't know how legit this is, but I heard that datacenters also where people store their catalytic converters when they change to electric vehicles.

Shhh! They're gonna find out that every server rack contains one T206 Honus Wagner card to function.

Absolutely should not tell people that fire is its weakness, and damaging data centers hurts insurance companies more because of equipment replacements, and rebuilding structures costs + manpower and whatnot.

[–] nlgranger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The fire suppression system uses inert gas, it won't damage the equipment.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Don't fire them until after you've taken the ram

Uh, or not I am too high to backwards words that

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (3 children)

they're also filled with gpus...

[–] StealthLizardDrop@piefed.social 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

screw gpus, ram, you want the ram

A commom mistake bank robbers make is that they take more gold than they can carry, stuff is heavy. I feel GPUs are similar in their value to weight ratio, RAM is much lighter and easier to take a lot of. Imagine the value of a backpack full of GPUs vs one full of RAM sticks.

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I think the lower density of gpus vs bars of gold would help you avoid that specific mistake...(you'll run out of room in your inventory before you get overencumbered)

[–] FrederikNJS@piefed.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're probably right that the value density of RAM sticks is better... But NVidia B300 GPUs are still ~$45,000 each. A backpack full is still quite a lot of money.

[–] testaccount372920@piefed.zip 1 points 12 hours ago

Wow, that's a lot of money! That brings the $/kg ratio much closer to RAM than I thought.

The staff wont stop you but if you arent familiar with how to isolate electrical equipment with more than one source of power you might get yourself killed.

Just because there's a goalie doesn't mean you can't score!

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Ever heard of a man trap?

Every data center I've been to uses them. Best part is if you don't know what you're looking at, you'd have no idea the foyer was constructed as a man trap.

Don't need much security when you have a man trap.
