do they really need to store every raw video they have ever filmed? At Weta studios they employ a team of people to manage their archives of digital artwork. LTT isn't making lord of the rings!

Why would they not? It doesn't hurt to have the raw files available and LTT can make videos about Petabyte Project etc.

75% of what I say is sarcastic

 

So is the rest probably

At a certain point I wouldn't bother with keeping raw files, it's not like they would re-make a video after say 2 years or something is it?

I mean yes, I would keep UNUSED footage, but for footage that'd already been used I would just keep a compressed version for "just in case" the footage was wiped from youtube or something.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

They've said that they reuse old footage in new videos sometimes.  If you want to do that without data loss (degradation in video), you have to keep the original video files.

 

 Not sure why they haven't used ZFS + gluster yet, or something of the like.

If I remember right they only use one of the two servers right now that make up Petabyte project and they have one powered off or something.

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

@Lurick Linus mentioned in a previous video that the second 45drives server was powered of for a while to save on power on hours on the drives themselves but has since turned both servers on as is visible is his 10gig internet video.
