It's amazing how much storage has changed since around 2008. I worked in a data-center back then and the thought of having all this storage transferring so fast was straight up science fiction. I still work with a bunch of OLD tech still running Server03 and wish I could play around with all this new stuff.

[@nevan2201]

I hope you will get a chance to get yourself a pc like that. You seem cool, all the luck😊

[@solitivity]

You mention how much it's changed since 2008 - but the comparison of the '60s to now is what blows me away. 10 megabyte hard drives used to be the size of whole bedrooms and were $10,000 (excluding inflation adjustment); meanwhile, today you can buy a 256GB MicroSD card that's actually reliable for $25. 💀

[@kennyadvocat]

In 2005 our college spent a fortune on the Avid Unity server. 16 250GB drives of storage per rack. (More racks of 16 drives were eventually added) Everyone got a login for a virtual drive. Could share projects to edit at the same time with other students. Crazy with 4k 60p raw video one person could use all of that data fast. LOL

Adding a small fan to an HBA is not as optional as one might assume. I was getting random parity errors in unraid until I added a small fan to the heatsink on the HBA. The disks checked out fine but kept getting errors, sometimes more, sometimes less. And now after adding the fan its fine. Similar to Gen5 M.2 controllers, sometimes heat just makes for errors even tho it still "works". Obviously case airflow will play a role as well.

I have watched a ton of these, and finally this one is EXACTLY what I needed explored - a maximalist one-box NAS. Thank you. I will note that for those who aren't in this price bracket but need hundreds of terabytes, you can get a used 16-port HBA, the Adaptec 71605, for $40 plus a $10 aftermarket blower plus $50 in cables. And that you can get 18tb factory reconditioned drives from serverpartsdeals for $180.

There are different tiers of used drives; "Manufacturer recertified" shipped in appropriate packaging is from some people's perspective better than brand new, because it's dipped into the U-shaped failure curve past the initial electrical & mechanical duds. Thus far, no failures.

I got all from different sellers of different countries that told they cared for them realy well and i also checked them and they were, no dust not realy any scratches nor damaged pcbs but they all died after a week of really light gaming, unity games (used them because i already felt not comfortable to run heavy games on them and instead went for unity games that were light on gpus and could even run on intel hd graphics) i also did not even overclock them. I tried contacting the sellers but they all did not respond or some responded but blamed me.

[@opensourcetechtraining64]

Having worked in a lot of workstation, server shops, I can definitely say adding the fan to the LSI / Broadcom HBA is a good call. They can definitely be ill served in a warm environment and burn out with just the stock passive coolers. Also most of them are really only spec'd to work in rack mount units that are okay with faster, noisier fans. Very much agree with the RAID config - RAIDZ2 split right down the middle. Has a bit of room to upgrade, thought with just 16 drives max, they can't really upgrade with another 6-wide vdev. Probably need to rely on the back up system then change our the config to like 2 x 8 wide RAIDZ2 and ZFS transfer all the data back then upgrade the next system or something - possibly spin-up an S3 object back before all that is being done - like with Backblaze, etc. Agree, nonetheless as going to 3 x 4-wide probably would hurt more just to save an equal amount of capacity in the future. Otherwise, it may just make more sense to ditch the current chassis to something larger if they ever need it. Also, TrueNAS Core should have worked fine, unsure why SCALE was used - Linux is awesome, Core is the more tested platform, and unless they need Docker or KVM VMs, it would work fine.

[@juliansbrickcity5083]

The case has room for 18 drives so a third 6wide vdev fits just fine. But the stupid thing is using a 16i hba in the build and only using 4ports of that and connecting 8 drives to the motherboard. I totaly agree with you on the truenas scale choice. But core is sometimes not good with bleeding edge systems and thats what LTT uses mostly. Probably the thats why they using scale because its what they used to.

[@mobquet]

100 percent agree with your decision to move forward with 2 parity disks in a group. Nothing is more stressful than having a large RAID 5 (1 parity disk) sustain a failure and waiting for it to rebuild. The array is under heavy load to do the rebuild and if you built the array with all brand-new disks, this being your first failure, the rest of the disks are now the same age and equally susceptible to failure as the disk that just died. Where-as with the RAID 6 (2 parity disk), if a second disk dies while you're rebuilding, it's going to complete and you get to do it again, but no restore required :)

[@AndreasKoepkeAU]

Only thing I would be concerned about is how easy it is to identify a failed drive. Redundancy is critical, but so is being able to confidently identify the drive that has failed so it can be replaced. Last thing you want to do is pull the wrong one and have part of the array lose data.

We used a 50 Mbps lease line for quite a while and we just used set our nas backup to low priority but unlimited speeds. That worked great with our firewall because we were able to use 10 to 11 TB data on the line.

[@hetdaftary9189]

The people in our office did not even notice the nas.

you guys should try using a server chassis with the ears off. Basically a tower case at that point and actually looks decent. I did that for the company i work at and everyone loves how they look cause there not rounded and look sleek as heck. plus it makes it super easy to work on later on.

My Cooler Master HAP has six 6 1/2" drive bays accessible from the side panel, with trays you mount the drives to, but they slide in and have lock down levers and no pesky screws. Then in the front it has six more 6 1/2" bays, that can hold anything with a case, like CD/DVD drives media bays and whatever else they make for them. For storage drives they have trays too, and those slide in and out but and have quick lock/release front panels, and all six can have hot swap panels (came with one that covers 2 drives) mounted to them. That's a total of 12 6 1/2 bays, and with off the shelf 1 X 6 1/2" to 2X 2 1/2" converters it can technically hold 24 drives!🥳

Obviously Mark just goes with the channel with the most subscribers. If you want the real deal, call level 1 techs!

[@academyjason]

You gotta cut Mark some slack, his mind-set is configured for "out of this world" ideas. He has no time for simple human problems Jk but WHEN DO WE GET DANKPODS GUESTING

[@melon64_]

Hey, that's actually a pretty good guest idea

[@lorde_spooky]

Yeah I'm pretty sure he's already one of the biggest creators on floatplane and works with creator wearhouse and shit, it would make sense

[@exvaran]

he's coming over for LTX, so at least an appearance is pretty much a given

[@LordMegatherium]

Anybody here ever try fixing a clogged sink and forgot to put a bucket underneath? All technology is like that: straightforward and building upon itself. That's why a NASA engineer needs a Canadian megalomaniac to build a reliable data appliance. Also yes: I wanna see Dankpods spin Noctua fans so hard that they play Scarlet Fire. Bonus points if Dan has to rig up something to make the fans comply.

10:04 @LinusTechTips I rly want my LTT x Noctua Screwdriver for 0.00$ :)

[@2ndHandXplosives]

I have a nice project for you. Build a family (cloud) NAS. Neatly priced but extendable for later needs in storage (start with one or two drives, add more later w/o swapping the MB or CPU). Give your family an off-site backup solution (pictures from granny, thesis from sister at university etc). Have you own cloud, synced calendars, contacts etc. Easy to use software on the client side („good Wife Acceptance Factor“) and support not only for windows. Maybe a mobile support. I know it’s a big package, but it a challenge after all 😉

I have the Fractal Define R7 XL case and it works great for this use case. Word to the wise, get lots of fans. With three 140mm fans and one 120mm fan on the front pulling air in over the drives and three 140mm exhaust fans on the top and back, most of my drives were getting up to 50°C. I added two 140mm and one 120mm fans on the other side of the hard drives and temps dropped down to around 30°C, but the two drives closest to the PSU get pretty hot still since there isn't a lot of airflow down there. My system has 16 5400-7200RPM drives installed, the speed doesn't seem to make a difference on the temps much in this configuration. Opening the front panel up can result in a 2-5°C temp difference on the drives with all these fans, even more so with fewer fans.

[@kwick_music]

Gotta love how mark rober has built robots and mars rovers but still goes to Linus for help with his computer infrastructure. No hate obviously, it's just kinda funny.

[@Ahmedooo373]

Anyone noticed the 00.00$ labeling for the noctua edition LTT screwdriver.

[@benluu4028]

TrueNAS is one of the most critical components to this build and it was completely glossed over.

[@CaptArgo24]

Linus needs to start a new sub-company for his IT support.

[@timelinemc]

I think we’ve all heard enough about sub companies lately.

[@TheRossMadness]

No, none of what they do should be a model for IT support. Just go count the number of videos they have on storage failure, network failure, etc. You can even watch the Level1Techs post-mortem by Wendell and Allen Jude where they broke down all the basic ZFS maintenance items that LTT/Jake skipped out on that caused their most recent data loss event. They put so much money into hiring engineers for their testing facility, but the IT stuff is left to Jake and his 30 minutes of Googling before implementation.
