[@RomanShein1978]

@@0deadLP Exactly! You can setup a beast with lots of ssds or even put a share at a RAM disk. It will work fine via iSCSI. But with Samba it will stuck at several kIOPS. The bottleneck is not in disks, HBAs or network, but SMB protocol itself. At least this was a situation a couple of years ago. You can easily test it yourself by benchmarking ssd(ram-disk)-backed file share.

@@augurseer I've read that some people to this, but it is complicated and very difficult to share the end result... My understanding is that NAS is for sharing, SAN for high availability, fail-over. In his case he need to share workload between editors. His workload are likely to be very linear (writing huge video files, so random performance is not an issue). He could just use plain HDDs for that. It is acceptable to show off benchmarks on KZbin, but responsible host shall explain to naive viewers, that it is not real life. SMB (or Samba) will decimate random IOPS. Performance over network will suffer.

If you're planning to have constant heavy movement of files 24/7 with that SSD setup, you'll be replacing them at a rate of around 3 per month maybe.

[@LinusTechTips]

No we won't. Modern SSDs are not as fragile as you think

[@riveraluciano]

I'm not saying they're fragile, but they are getting a lot more use than your average consumer grade or even server grade ssd's. I've seen side's fail pretty fast in a server, but I'm guessing the guys at Kingston wouldn't have given them to you if they knew they'd expire quickly.

[@riveraluciano]

***** And I have used enterprise grade ssd's on really heavy duty servers (Intel). Of course they're fast, but they also need to be replaced rather regularly.

[@riveraluciano]

***** "Kingston SSDNow V300" Those are consumer grade SSD's. I have one of those actually.

[@procrastinatingnerd]

Luciano R I think Linus's first reply to you is correct. ssd's really are not as fragile as you think. If you are replacing them regulary in your setup, then you probably don't have it configured properly. The first ssd I ever got I got 6 years ago now and it is still going strong. the next one I got a year later is also still going strong. granted there not being used 24/7, but they are used for hours every day. I have replaced all the mechanical drives in my primary systems with ssd's and I will never go back. Did you read about the ssd torture test that was done awhile back where the worst drive had over 700tb written to it before it failed. My main ssd is at 2 tb of writes after 2 years. and those drives were consumer drives. Linus is using enterprise drives! You really have to try to kill a ssd!

If you wind up getting the battery back-ups for those RAID cards, look for a remote mount kit for each one. While I don't have that exact card in my rig, I do have the 4 port for a small home server and was burning through the batteries due to overheating. It seems to be a pretty common problem with the LSI cards with the onboard battery back-up design. I did some research and found what I needed to remotely mount the battery and haven't had an issue since. It's a little extra coin, but worth it in the long run.

Other than that, everything stayed pretty much the same. The funniest thing: Windows installed faster than I could unpackage a new keyboard. Form a 20mb/s USB2.0 drive. For this magic to happen you really need a SATA 3 connector on your motherboard / in your laptop though. TL;DR: if you are fine with your PCs current loading times, no reason to upgrade

awesome more server stuff. i would love to see a video everything in your server racks in your office. i would love love love it..

[@dshnig]

I'm curious to see how this massive SATA 6 Gbps SSD RAID array compares to a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe flash solution. I remember an Intel product brief on the Intel SSD DC 3500-3700 SSDs that these PCIe cards offer 6x the speeds of their own 730 series SSDs. Other advantages include not having to buy high-performance RAID cards. I would argue that a PCIe NVMe solution would costs roughly the same amount of money per gigabyte as a SATA raid when you consider the whole system. A disadvantage is not being able to RAID PCIe cards together, so sequential performance would probably be less than SATA raid, but the 4k IOPs would be significantly higher. Maybe a suggestion for your next video?

[@RiixuHG]

They didn't just hand over 12k worth of ssds (which btw don't cost near that much to manufacture) they have a business agreement as does all his sponsors and people he does reviews for.

[@AJCham]

Riixu Because other people work just as hard or harder and have nothing to show for it. Acknowledging Linus's good fortune doesn't imply he doesn't deserve it or did nothing to earn it. That said, I see the danger in using the word "luck" too liberally, as if someone assume that's all it takes (rather than being just one piece of the puzzle) they're not going to to put the effort in to make something happen for themselves.

[@JamesBalazs]

I don't think you understand what he meant. Linus is quite definitely lucky to be well respected enough to be GIVEN $12,000 worth of hardware - lucky as in he has had more fortune than the average person in that respect, which is the definition of luck. It was meant as a compliment anyway, so don't get your knickers in a twist.

[@hiviexd5269]

24 1TB SSDs =20TB seems legit #sarcasm

[@leopardenthusiast]

That's actually how it's supposed to work. The setup he's using, RAID 50, is three RAID 5 arrays of 8 drives, each of which has a usable capacity equal to its total capacity minus one drive (in this case, the total capacity of each RAID 5 array is 7.68TB, and the usable capacity is 6.72TB), combined into one array using RAID 0. The resulting total capacity is 23.04TB (remember, they're actually 960GB drives, not 1TB), and the usable capacity is 20.16TB. RAID 0 is more space efficient, but one drive failing in a RAID 0 array means the loss of all the data on the array. This setup allows for 1 drive to fail out of each RAID 5 array with no data loss.

[@hiviexd5269]

[@orangeapples]

Any SSD worth its cost should also include transfer software. If not you can always buy the software itself. Either way it'll come with a sata to usb adapter. I've done it a bunch of times. Just follow the instructions. Then you'll have to configure everything to use the HDD. Linus actually has vids about it on NCIX.

[@Hugajohan]

Grant Kidd i think OEM licence is binded to the motherboard.

[@JHCyber]

Grant Kidd Just clone ur OS from the HDD to the SSD. I did it with my gf's laptop, worked like a charm.

[@Wifi_Cable]

Grant Kidd I cannot foresee you having any issues, it is a fairly simple process once you know what to do. There are plenty of free cloning programs out there, all you would need to do is clone your current OS to the SSD. I think I used Macrium in the past, though it has been some years. Just skimmed this article and it seems to cover all the bases. www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2421302,00.asp (my paranoia speaking) If for some reason your cloned hard drive shows up as invalid, find your windows licence and give Microsoft a call. www.howtogeek.com/206329/how-to-find-your-lost-windows-or-office-product-keys/ While I haven't done it myself, I've heard if you tell them you were transferring you were transferring your licence to a new hard drive and the old one is not to be used anymore they should be able to sort you out.

Awesome server, I hope it improves productivity by more than the time your staff spend drooling over it... On a more serious note its interesting even this crazy beast setup doesn't provide the same sorts of write speeds (outside of the limited cache) that is possible on a single m.2 drive like the Samsung SM951 when in a redundancy raid, while write speeds of 2 of those Samsung SM951's in RAID0 are greater than 80% (4.5\5.5) of the this crazy entire arrangement in its raid 00 mode. I feel there is a strong moral to this story about the diminishing returns in raid. But its also worth noting that even once the raid cards are accounted for the M.2 solution is still almost twice the price per Terrabyte ($1370 vs $703 USD) so I'd be interested to see speed tests of each 8 SSD raid 5 (6720GB) array on each Raid Controlled before the software striping to see how it scales.

Is that stock intel cooler enough for something that will be used 24/7? i feel like a hyper 212 would be a better choice.

[@mm-hl7gh]

why the megaraid lsi bbu ?? did you get this before you knew you get a UPS ? or is both needed ?

Hi, thanks for all the videos you make. I have a question and hope you can help me. I bought a dell workstation (Dell Austrlia). It is a T5600 with 2 xeons processors 6 cores each 15 MB cache, 32 GB Ram DDR3, Quadro K4000 3GB and SSDs samsung pro 850 512 GB. Autocad 2015 in 2D is running so slow and is statering and laging. the same goes for the simplest microsoft office tasks. Dell cannot seem to know wht the problem is. They changes motherboard, video card, hard drive and memory but no improvements. My 3 year old laptop is handling my cad files better. Any ideas ? I really hope you can help. Can you adivse on what pc/setup works well for Autocad 2d and 3d? No rendering involved.

Linus, just out of curiousity, what stripe size did you use on your arrays? Anyways, I heard a lot of recommendations against ssd raids, but the iops are unbelievable. And did you expect to saturate those controllers? Now imagine here in a year to two when 10tb ssds are running rampant. Good video bro keep it up!

[@tomar5e115]

Can we get a detailed setup of the machine this is running on? Network cards, configurations, specifications etc??

[@GreyhatInfiltrator]

@LinusTechTips what motherboard did you use on this monster server? Thank you.

[@GreyhatInfiltrator]

Flat4Buggy Thanks dude! Much appreciated.

[@benjamintran7484]

to be honest, i have no idea what you are saying linus but i still enjoy watching these for some reason

[@oscarhernandez8353]

I just got a adata ssd and transferred all my files from my mechanical hard drive to the ssd. The speed on a ssd is incredible, after 14 years of using a mechanical hard drive I've noticed they are extremely slow.

[@KRC1023]

In the sponsor spot you said "HX1200i" instead of saying "AX1200i" like the power supply in the picture :) Awesome server.

[@ElectronicsWizardry]

What os is the server going to be using?

[@Sinista123]

I have 8 Samsung 840 on a single Adaptec 8805 in my old AMD 990fx Desktop. The read and write speeds are between 3000 and 3200. I wonder if I could beat this with 16 drives and 2 controllers.

[@iamKORHAL]

This is a great episode

[@PixiBoii]

Linus could you please do a tour of your network setup? Please? :D

[@omriswarbrick4351]

@linus don't you have a label printer? Why would you use tacky white paint to number the bays?

[@01Chris02]

I watch Linus' videos far too much when I procrastinate for uni exams :P Haha

[@bjornahh87]

Linus what do you do after 1million hours or 3.80years when the predicted faliure of the drives is nearby, do you change them one by one or all at the same time ??

[@der-andyman]

+LinusTechTips After the Intro, you said "The Corsair HX[...]"!!! LOL :D

[@BrianBates128]

Use ZFS with your raid cards's raid functionality disabled (or use Host Bus Adapter cards) and you can put all 24 drives in one z-raid pool.

RAID 6 - You got to love those party-time "Parity Bits".
