rack density, 70TB of XRAIDs, & Blinkenlights!

[bmw2go11]

you guys are missing the point that these are server-grade hdd's...

this setup would have costed a fortune

[AnasTangi]

70 TB???

70 TB wouldn't occupy more space than a volume of a desktope PC.

[chuckgoolsbee]

@AnasTangi This video was shot half a decade ago.

[AnasTangi]

@chuckgoolsbee Yeah I know, but I don't remember that a 1 TB occupied a lot of space in 2007.

Or is it 70TB per rack??? I'm a bit confused

[chuckgoolsbee]

@AnasTangi 70TB made up of 250GB drives.

[filmftw3]

@chuckgoolsbee

70TB is how much crap is uploaded to Youtube every day as I type this, about 50 hours worth of video every minute.

[WilliamSummerbell]

@AnasTangi youre thinking of GB, 70TB would be 70,000GB's. Good luck fitting that in a desktop computer.

[AnasTangi]

@WilliamSummerbell Mate I know the difference between Tera and Giga (17 years in computers...), I have a few HD of 1 TB each one, and the size is not bigger than a DVD drive (20 x 20 x 3 cm more or less).

You do the maths...or just click on the videos on the right side.

[technocorecorps]

@AnasTangi it would in 07.... this is back when hard drives were like, ~200 GB a piece at the big end.

[MADBONE0]

Very nice to see that many Xserve RAIDs together

[thefamilyk]

back in my day only the rich fellers could afford them 70 megabyte hard drives.

[hddr3]

@thefamilyk ibm pc was i think 3,000$ and it had 5 or 10 mb hard drive!

[VegasRage]

Thta's a whole lot of Dell to the right, I was expecting to see xServe's

[chuckgoolsbee]

We've got several hundred Xserves here, just not in this area of the facility.

[VegasRage]

Nice setup

[skyweezynU]

[Jaggabone]

@chuckgoolsbee ;

" The Grid ..... I tried to imagine what the grid looked like ..."

What certifications does your staff have?

[lyokofans]

just 70tb? ;)

[krazykizza]

Is it really that noisy, fuck

[Artifice206]

its a co location facility. so that's presumably inside a datacenter... with a lot of air conditioning if they allow such fat density!

[Bryan1342]

Holy crap...lol......I wanna get something like that for my needs someday ;) lol

[chassoto]

Nice rack!

[Yar0niX]
