Storage Server Worries

[Sad_Banana_Noises]

So i wanna use the 320 TERABYTES in a normal case!! - The DIY 4k editing NAS idea that linus did i was wondering how safe it is to have the hard drives in a normal case vs a server rack

What case?

 

Id probably get a 4u 24 bay case, and put it on its side. It about the same size as a normal desktop case, and can be made pretty quiet. 

 

And 320tb is 16hdds atleast today, so a normal desktop case won't like this.

Whats the budget for the whole build? This will be about 12 thousand dollars atleast.

 

What specific questions do you have? Why not copy his build? What do you want to change?

 

Id really go with a 4u case here, there much nicer to work in.

i have about $4,000 to $5,000 i was just asking if the hard drives had more of a chance of getting damaged in a normal case like that but ill check out a 4u case

The failure rate should be simmilar between a desktop and server case.

 

The high density hdds you would need for a desktop case cost more per gb, so thats budget won't get you that capacity in a tower case.

 

Id either lower your capacity needs or raise your budget.

oh shoot im not putting 320 TB in the server that was just the title of the video i was planning on putting 80 to 100 TB in

So what are you full requirements? Speed? Redundancy? What OS?

Have you made a parts list of the parts you want?

so i dont know a whole lot about storage servers but i put a few things together i was planning on using either windows or linux and for the parts i was planning on using 7 16TB Exos drives, and a ryzen 5 Processor, and 2 250 GB ssds, and 16 GBs of corsair vengeance LPX ram. i wasn't really going for specifically speed or redundancy

What would the ssds be used for? Boot?

 

What network speed do you have?

 

Id probably go zfs here, put it in a dual parity setup, so you would have 80tb usable. 

 

Id get that asrock rack board. Then you have a gpu built in, and ecc support. I wouldn't use the corsair memory here since ecc isn't much more.

 

What are you storing on this nas?

i would use the ssd for boot ya and i have 1 GB network speed i was planning to store my future projects for videos and designs and old pictures

How much storage space are you using now?

 

How many systems are accessing this storage?

 

Why not just add a few big drives to your desktop instead of making a separate nas for now, and make a nas as your video needs grow.

 

This space seems pretty big for a home video project storage.

If it's a mix of hard drives and SSD's I'd put the hard drives near the ends of the case where there would be less vibration and the SSD's near the center where it won't matter.

Vibration can be a big problem with that many drives.

just me using it right now but possibly more in the future ive used a few hard drives which i think totaled 40 TB and i wanna have the storage separate from my computer. so in the future more people can use the server to
