The 100TB Project

2017-04-26
hey guys Lawson and today we've got the ultimate store Nader - what are you getting ourselves into this it's going to be over a hundred terabytes can get a little upset with our previous workflow Solana's jumped in I actually want to see is it like how big is the store haters I didn't see it you know what this one is actually not that big this is their all new ad 15 so you actually have a bigger version of this for your petabyte project right yes so petabyte project is using two of the 60 drive units oh sure so can I get your face on this if you do good so right now we use an AZ which is much more kind of a basic sort of like backup kind of thing but with this with 100 terabytes of storage I'm actually a little bit more but I think we'll slowly kind of upgrade over time where she can store all of our videos all of our raw footage even stuff like red footage which is of course enormous dude that is clean we're actually going to be running on raid so that's why I prepared this USB Drive so the whole OS actually boots off of us do it when it's fully okay fully off of a USB and that's it we that's 0s drive and then we're actually going to grab a couple one terabyte SSDs to use as a cache so essentially in addition to having all of our standard 10 terabyte hard drives just stupid on its own you also have some SSD cache essentially for dumping like a ton of footage on it really quickly yeah this is really cool I feel like we do a lot of videos on sort of interesting stuff this is way more in your realm so these are 10 terabyte hard drives and we have 15 of them these are pretty new drives right yeah so these are the iron wolf Pro they're rated for they've got a five-year warranty they're rated for like 300 terabytes a year of luggage drive access per drive so you guys aren't even going to touch that if one of them did fail with cools you can pack this off yeah and Seagate can do their restoration magic we helped I mean of course you never know yeah and then even if you lost like when catastrophic failure you know multiple drives failed Conrade doesn't stripe the data across multiple discs it's isn't files it's is it in files to disk so you hooked us up with all this by the way how much do you think all these drives would have cost by themselves because either one what about speech no six grand worth of drives Thank You Seagate you guys are great like completely tools we just drop it straight in it's well there's one tool okay hey yeah yeah yeah but other than that no there are two you guys were kind of thinking you go what like a hundred terabytes to start yeah I mean this kind of expand as you go because I think like you were saying before we even did this it doesn't make sense to have all these drives powered up and sitting in here forever if we're not going to come close because right now we're running off of 12 terabytes and that's more than what we need but what we're doing right now is we're deleting all of our raw footage so we finished up a video essentially we will say like the main video as well as we'll save like a master file but we'll delete all the raw stuff and that is 150 terabytes actually little bit more we've got we're gonna have some SSD cache but we won't count that 150 terabytes of raw storage oh you essentially is a pretty reasonable size like it's about the same size like a normal computer chassis really the cabling I think is what really jumps out to me it like you think about like we're trying to put even like say five or six drives in a normal computer chassis we need a disaster of cables everywhere and everything about the nightmare this is a nice employment so this is our current setup yeah that is just just to comment that's oh no it is kind of close to where we film but cut-the-knot to a fans I hope it's going to be pretty quiet only one way to find out store Nader and three down okay so all you got to do is plug it in and then you navigate to tower but we're going to change that so they'll make the server whatever you want to call it okay so we're activated we're good to go we're activated we're good to go this is it so here's info you can see right now we're connected at gigabit because we haven't put the 10 gig switch in right server identification oh wait a name for it what's it called or can't call this tornador that's like that's too easy the big thing we're gonna be staring at this name for the next five years of our life Duncan eight oh how do I love it on three three three oh three did you do it yeah okay it's the Duncan eight or three three three zero three now so the cool things this is that even though obviously we can connect via not only gigabit but also things could be Ethernet I think we're going to do that sort of later on yeah this also works over Wi-Fi so if I'm sitting on the couch over here I can go download a file upload something whatever yep so Wi-Fi is going to be plenty fast enough to do something like I simple like an archive or you know just pull a file off but if you want the full speed especially for editing off of it we can do is we can use this Thunderbolt 2 adapter 2 10 Gigabit Ethernet and then run it through a switch and get pretty solid speeds I mean that is really quick I mean you can ingest huge chunks of footage way way faster so this is the whole like idea of not just having it be big but also safe right so while you're copying that yeah I can gentle oh don't do it don't do it oh that's great oh my god that my fingers are sweaty there it goes ok don't move it around a little yeah I feel a tingling but uh we're still copying so basically all you have to do if a drive fails you're we've simulated here yeah it stopped the new one in the set the array to rebuild and it rebuilt it it doesn't even skip a beat like it doesn't even say like paused as the flow dies just still copy no problem at all there you go 140 point nine seven terabytes free dude thank you found out man this is oh my god this is so cool hey Lee hopefully you guys enjoy definitely sure let me know what you think about a hundred and 50 terabytes server in the comments below also this guy's kind of a write you can check out his channel and I or we or someone will catch you in the next one
