Holy gently caress the detailed testing they can do now is nuts. That air flow video O_O Holy poo poo.

Mr.Radar posted:Linus talks a lot about how much QA/due diligence he does when ordering new merch on The WAN Show, so it probably shouldn't be a surprise it's decent quality for what it is. This would be the same Linus who did his QA/due diligence about advertisers and then promoted offshoring brexiteers, RAID shadow legends and nicehash? His judgement is highly suspect.

Ok i'm curious now. Assuming Linus needs all that space, what would a sensible 1.2TB storage solution look like and how much would it cost?

Assuming Linus needs all that space, what would a sensible 1.2TB storage solution look like and how much would it cost? 1.2tb could be done with two barebone two-bays nas in staggered sync(async mirror). 12tb+ should be done with a set of 4-6 bay units over raid6 to limit disk mortality issues. Brands depends on budget and RTO/RPO. If nbd or 4h is required, you will need enterprise tech like emc/hds or hpe, otherwise if longer times are acceptable, you can use smb brands like synology or qnap.

I would use a couple of high density lff trays (2U/60 disks) and 10-12tb sas 7.2 drives along with a tray with few sff 12g sas ssd to provide caching and hot data access.

It's worth noting that they're working with uncompressible data, since video is already compressed - so inline compression features from tape or a modern filesystem like ZFS isn't going to get anything - especially because lz4 and zstd features early-abort mechanisms, where it stops trying to compress records, if it can't compress them at least 14%. Since it's a data archive, I think nearline storage (either in the form of a tape library with robotic arm, or a MAID; a massive array of idle disks where spinning rust is spun-down) is the way to go. That is, unless they also have some kind of IOPS requirements, in which case what SlowBloke mentioned is more the neighbourhood they're looking at. It's also not clear to me if it's 1.2PB allocated space, or if that 1.2PB is just what they think they're getting if they're assuming that "14TB" drives are 14TiB and aren't accounting for filesystem metadata, distributed parity, slop space, and other things that's gonna affect the allocated amount of space.

Haha someone on the Linus Tech Tips forums noted that a Petabyte of storage on AWS Glacier can be as cheap as 990$ a month.

I was thinking something along the lines of a hds vantara g-series (https://www.hitachivantara.com/en-us/products/storage/flash-storage/vsp-g-series.html) with dual controllers to start with, possibly going upscale if iops constraints are higher. Sure you can get glacier storage at that prices but if you need to do reads too you are going to get far more onerous bills. SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Feb 8, 2022 |

Getting data out of the butt is exorbitantly expensive, which is entirely by design  If I was building for max efficiency, I'd look into getting a 36-bay front-loading chassis from Supermicro, and 9 of these to fill up the rest of the 42U rack for a total of 846 disks per rack. The advantage they have is that you're not moving 60-90 drives at a time, which is the case with all the top-loading drives, as these disk shelves allow for easy servicing of two disks at a time without moving any other drives at all. Assuming 16TB disks, with 9 devices per raidz3 vdev plus a bunch of spares, that's over 7PiB of usable storage. EDIT: And if you go with DRAID, you can probably get more than 10PiB per rack.

You really obviously didn't watch the video, the 1.2PB is just the theoretical maximum of the drives. When they get things set up in their NAS installation it's in the 900 terabyte range and there's a couple of jokes about doing a bad setup to make the magic 1 petabyte number appear but Linus says not to bother, to go with the right thing. They know they're not getting an actual petabyte of storage out of that thing. Tape is likely correct, they've been pretty clear about it just being uncompressed videos of all their youtube content ever and it rarely being something they actually go back and read from. Frankly I don't care about Linus or his stunts that much (except this did convince me to finally set up backups myself, which I'm really grateful for), it's just frustrating to see speculation about the topic that's solved by actually engaging with the content being discussed.

If my napkin calculations are correct, they could've bought two 90-bay SAS disk shelves and a 36-bay chassis, and gotten 1.17PB usable space with 10TB disks - and they'd still have 9 disks left over for spares. And quote is not edit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YGA8ufRjiY I guess if we're grouchin on Linus I just wanna say that this take seems weird and pointless and only exists in the tone of wanting to have a take that can be seen to look at the whole situation from a higher vantage point and thus with more authority and thus with the final say. Although I did like the bit where someone in the chat points out that GN Steve's whole deal was that he hadn't opened the shipping box before he sent it back to Newegg so the last 5 minutes of ranting was completely irrelevant, and so instead of just being like ''oh right okay then'' they made that commenter seem like an idiot by changing the terms of their rant to be about some hypothetical general situation and not about the specific Gamers Nexus video that the rant was initially responding to You don't have to be a thought leader expert in everything. Just be a regular human. Why are youtubers like this
