The 100TB Project #Helpful Post

hey guys Lawson and today we've got the

ultimate store Nader - what are you

getting ourselves into this it's going

to be over a hundred terabytes can get a

little upset with our previous workflow

Solana's jumped in I actually want to

see is it like how big is the store

haters I didn't see it you know what

this one is actually not that big this

is their all new ad 15 so you actually

have a bigger version of this for your

petabyte project right yes

so petabyte project is using two of the

60 drive units oh sure

so can I get your face on this if you do

good so right now we use an AZ which is

much more kind of a basic sort of like

backup kind of thing but with this with

100 terabytes of storage I'm actually a

little bit more but I think we'll slowly

kind of upgrade over time where she can

store all of our videos all of our raw

footage even stuff like red footage

which is of course enormous dude that is

clean we're actually going to be running

on raid so that's why I prepared this

USB Drive so the whole OS actually boots

off of us do it when it's fully okay

fully off of a USB and that's it we

that's 0s drive and then we're actually

going to grab a couple one terabyte SSDs

to use as a cache so essentially in

addition to having all of our standard

10 terabyte hard drives just stupid on

its own you also have some SSD cache

essentially for dumping like a ton of

footage on it really quickly yeah this

is really cool I feel like we do a lot

of videos on sort of interesting stuff

this is way more in your realm so these

are 10 terabyte hard drives and we have

15 of them these are pretty new drives

right yeah so these are the iron wolf

Pro they're rated for they've got a

five-year warranty they're rated for

like 300 terabytes a year of luggage

drive access per drive so you guys

aren't even going to touch that if one

of them did fail with cools you can pack

this off yeah and Seagate can do their

restoration magic we helped I mean of

course you never know yeah and then even

if you lost like when catastrophic

failure you know multiple drives failed

Conrade doesn't stripe the data across

multiple discs it's isn't files it's

is it in files to disk so you hooked us

up with all this by the way how much do

you think all these drives would have

cost by themselves because either one

what about speech no six grand worth of

drives Thank You Seagate you guys are

great

like completely tools we just drop it

straight in it's well there's one tool

okay hey yeah yeah yeah but other than

that no there are two you guys were kind

of thinking you go what like a hundred

terabytes to start yeah I mean this kind

of expand as you go because I think like

you were saying before we even did this

it doesn't make sense to have all these

drives powered up and sitting in here

forever

if we're not going to come close because

right now we're running off of 12

terabytes and that's more than what we

need but what we're doing right now is

we're deleting all of our raw footage so

we finished up a video essentially we

will say like the main video as well as

we'll save like a master file but we'll

delete all the raw stuff and that is 150

terabytes actually little bit more we've

got we're gonna have some SSD cache but

we won't count that 150 terabytes of raw

storage oh you essentially is a pretty

reasonable size like it's about the same

size like a normal computer chassis

really the cabling I think is what

really jumps out to me it like you think

about like we're trying to put even like

say five or six drives in a normal

computer chassis we need a disaster of

cables everywhere and everything about

the nightmare this is a nice employment

so this is our current setup yeah that

is just just to comment that's oh no it

is kind of close to where we film but

cut-the-knot to a fans I hope it's going

to be pretty quiet only one way to find

out

store Nader and three down okay so all

you got to do is plug it in and then you

navigate to tower but we're going to

change that so they'll make the server

whatever you want to call it okay so

we're activated we're good to go

we're activated we're good to go this is

it so here's info you can see right now

we're connected at gigabit because we

haven't put the 10 gig switch in right

server identification oh wait a name for

it what's it called or can't call this

tornador that's like that's too easy the

big thing we're gonna be staring at this

name for the next five years of our life

Duncan eight oh how do I love it on

three three three oh three did you do it

yeah okay

it's the Duncan eight or three three

three zero three now so the cool things

this is that even though obviously we

can connect via not only gigabit but

also things could be Ethernet I think

we're going to do that sort of later on

yeah this also works over Wi-Fi so if

I'm sitting on the couch over here I can

go download a file upload something

whatever yep so Wi-Fi is going to be

plenty fast enough to do something like

I simple like an archive or you know

just pull a file off but if you want the

full speed especially for editing off of

it we can do is we can use this

Thunderbolt 2 adapter 2 10 Gigabit

Ethernet and then run it through a

switch and get pretty solid speeds I

mean that is really quick I mean you can

ingest huge chunks of footage way way

faster so this is the whole like idea of

not just having it be big but also safe

right so while you're copying that yeah

I can gentle oh don't do it don't do it

oh that's great oh my god that my

fingers are sweaty there it goes ok

don't move it around a little yeah I

feel a tingling but uh we're still

copying so basically all you have to do

if a drive fails you're we've simulated

here yeah it stopped the new one in the

set the array to rebuild and it rebuilt

it it doesn't even skip a beat like it

doesn't even say like paused as the flow

dies just still copy no problem at all

there you go 140 point nine seven

terabytes free dude thank you found out

man this is oh my god this is so cool

hey Lee hopefully you guys enjoy

definitely sure let me know what you

think about a hundred and 50 terabytes

server in the comments below

also this guy's kind of a write you can

check out his channel and I or we or

someone will catch you in the next one
