Create 21TB Storage Server

[spartan7126]

what was the ratio of real time and the time in the video

[1Administrater]

how long did this take!?

[anikidwolfy]

think of the porn storage!

[SOxxLegit]

10k server...$60 camera...

[lolwut1337n355]

8:22 I like that little rub at the end lol

[brianmusson]

i would refrain from purchasing hard drives in batches like that. I'm not faulting you, but I have walked into a server room to find that 3 drives failed at the same time, and more later that week.

[RSterkenburg]

@brianmusson So you would buy them... one by one?

[DarkEmoE]

imagine formating or defragmenting them all. that would take forever.

[nitroray]

I'd love to do this, so relaxing :D

[GLuGGycOw]

oh god, the clicking noise when you turn it on aha

[clubvista2]

its like all the drives crash.

[One4TheTechnoGuy]

Now do it with SSD's!

[SteelFlexInc]

Halfway through the video< I was like "Oh God there's more..."

[Noblc09]

To bad out of all of those you can expect at least 3 off the bat then at least another 4 to fail in the first 3 months.

[fataxe1]

that would be one hell of a raid configuration.

[andy16666]

Oops...you put them all in backwards. 

[eliyui]

Time to ask the boss for an electric screw driver.

[OghamTheBold]

It does give you that - counting sheep feeling

[AbizmalRockabilly]

Zzzzz..... wake me when you done..

[SomeWeirdFreak]

...Wow. I watched you install some hard drives, grabbed the clippers, watched you install a couple more, clipped one hand's nails, noticed you decided to sit, finished clipping my nails, and finally noticed you still weren't done fast-forward installing drives. Massive props to your patience. I would have been contemplating a faster method after the first 5.

[kko0219]

Do you use sata II disks?

[serverguy2]

Ever heard of editing for time?????

[marcusarelius23]

Yawn!

[iso139]

XFS ONLY XFS

[TMGPence]

what the hell do you use this for? a porn site?

[AndrewDealtry]

@TMGPence probably that is what i use mine for ;)

[The561Hero]

$10,000.00 dollar machine?

[hoddelkind]

ABO!! Nice Nice!!

[papankekunci]

wow... if google.com needs to replace their whole storage system and ask this guy or his company to supply new storage servers as shown here.. how long will it take?

[skaylars]

lemme guess it took you several hours to mount all the HDD's into there place?

[stormsirens2]

Our brains hold ~20 TB (if one brain cell holds ~1 bit)

[EMCHost]

Not that much :/ What hapenns when we run out of space? xD

[stormsirens2]

O.o

[MusicStylez]

@EMCHost

Head to your local computer store, buy some extra Hard-drives and find a good plastic surgeon.

[Windows446]

You won't, unless you download 1TB of porn and copy it to all of the HDD's LOL

[oskadoin]

@Windows446

hahahaha , right bro , hahaha

[bmw2go11]

now, what to do with all those black pipes from the hard drive cadges,... hmmm... ikno let's go to our neighbor dealer, he'll know what to do!!!

[SHQPip]

Timelapse frames taken from this video would have been better than just watching the whole video.

Our place is requiring 20+Tb so this is good news. However, we have a 14disk SAN and thats NOT light! so an array with this may disks in going to be VERY heavy and should have be mounted/eathed before inserting the drives! ..which leaves you with archiving 21Tb ? ...

D2D2Tape (LTO4 perhaps) ?

[GamersHive1]

I hope your grounded installing that many HDD's. i have only been unfortunate enough to bust one HDD before. Now whenever i install new componants all they are stored on the bags and i have a anti static mat and wrist band

[L337F0RC3]

LMAO i thoguht your were talking about grounded like grounded in your room untill i read the rest

[pazks723]

Whoops! Time to defragment!

[untdelemndelabunica]

dude, if any linux distribution is installed on that, no defrag needed. Linux file system, ext3 and ext2 does not fragment. Ext4 was known for some reliability problems, but still... no windows habbits for linux-based servers :)

[alphaman1101]

UNless they vm them :)

[Rapid2214]

@pazks723

Thats why you don't user NTFS :) EXT FTW!

[danavyor]

@pazks723 You don't use M$ NTFS crap on such machines, probably something cool like ZFS ;)

[Winnman05]

@pazks723 FAT16 Master race here.

[EminoMeneko]

@pazks723 Yes but if done regularly it should be OK and with modern Windows OS defrag is scheduled. Well it also depends on how often date is written/deleted too... ^^'

[devildad1620]

Looks like fun but, I lost interest in the first minute. I probably would have watched the entire thing if there had been some narration or music. This video just needs a soundtrack.

[thagonzp]

you wanna talk about carpal tunnel

[RETARDIRANY]

put some music in background

[unnaturaltragedy]

For some reason I want to slowly buy 1TB hard drives and do this although I have no use whatsoever for that amount of storage.

[ashneilroy]

what are u going to use it for

[lolokoperro]

maybe to run Dos and play tetris

[sr71ablackbird]

@lolokoperro Dos 3.35 ?...lol.. I still have that one.

[chase312]

make me one please! :]

[vito591]

and the money? xDD

[Bretty135]

The typical techi! using keys to open boxes. lol

[produKtNZ]

Ack!, it looks like a pain in the arse to mount a harddrive in each tray >_>

[Eientatsu]

@produKtNZ A lot better in the long run though in my opinion
