SSDs in RAID. Yeah that's been done before.. But how about over 20TB of SSDs in RAID??

You know it is extreme when linus posts instead of Nick.

luv u Linus <3

[Comessy]

That's a sp00ky amount of storage

Le linus has posted

This was my immediate reaction

[Br3tt96]

20tb of ssds a bit overkill?

[TheGamingBarrel]

@looney go get even more SSD storage than linus, you must win in the storage wars.

[Tedster]

This video is so intense that Linus had to post this one himself...

4K raw footage takes quite a bit of space.

Actually one of the reason why almost all major movie productions might shoot in 4K, but downsample it to 2K for the actual editing.

Why would you build a 20TB RAID server with Kingston V300 drives?

why can't you read the heading?

KC310 (business grade drives)

First off, they aren't V300s

Second, I have a V300, and it boots Windows 7 in under 10 seconds. They are great drives.

Exciting !!!

We should make an open Google doc list of all LMG servers and workstations with specs.

Go and contribute

Also he should talk more of the Kingston HyperX Predator and the benefits and drawbacks of it. Was it the fastest solution available for the server?

Also running it for main system drive and it beats out the available competition, 1200Mb/s reads and 600Mb/s writes for a reasonable price.

[davidmorpurgo]

Ok, that hardware is impressive.

But what about the software? Are you still using FreeNAS?

[peanutsrevenge]

This is a fun series. I'd like this to be a regular one, shall we say... clean sheet rebuilds every 6 months Linus, LSI, Kingston, Coolermaster etc

I'm still of the mind that I'd used a different a solution to the storage challenge LMG faces, but that's not to say this approach is wrong (except when I'm kidding around).

 

Gotta be fun and nerve-'racking'-as-hell designing, building and implementing that though. So much uber hardware allowing the job to be done properly (until 100Gb's 'affordable').

Except for the SM951 which is cheaper and significantly faster. Only JUST released to retail-ish though (which is in time for our office IT upgrade \o/)

I think the Tesla battery might be something for you, instead a UPS. I would really like to see a video about that  

[neo_mouse]

What I don't understand is why he is rolling all of this on a Windows 7 install. This is a production piece of equipment  and he has gone far enough to roll "server grade" components throughout the whole build. So why not run a Server OS?   

[tnsolley]

..... I worry a bit about the turnover rate for those SSDs.  The industry has made some huge strides, yes, but how long until you'll need to replace those SSDs?

[CatCloud]

that name though, Wanic? 

Sonic and WAN = ?

 

hmm

Dr RobWanic ;D

[qwertywarrior]

Linus why didnt u go with the faster LSI 9361-8i that uses the faster 3108 soc instead of the 9271-8i

they both cost the same at ~$500 at newegg

[thehotspirit]

Awsome! But why RAID instead of ZFS ?
