Unsure about that unless the processing is done elsewhere. A lot of modern electronics are running into issues of getting even smaller due to how small they have already gotten. You can only get so small.
moore's law doesn't work anymore.
I work at another clustered file company, Qumulo who also makes these huge systems on Supermicro systems. We're actually kinda competitors with Weka. Can confirm that drive fault protection process they talked about is a really complex process that has scientific whitepapers backing it. When the drive goes down you reprotect the EC stripes for those pages. Then when new drives are added to the cluster you actually want to "rebalance" data so that heavy multistream workloads will hit all the new drives equally.

Jake, cheers for putting that link in for the rackstuds! it's made my life as an audio/Lighting tech so much easier. i cannot describe how horrible 19" racks can be when you're rigging them yourself
With your petabyte project i am becoming numb to numbers "400Gb pers second" "1Pb of storage" No big deal.... wait 1 Pb is 1,000 Tb 400Gb per second is about 50 to 120 times faster then any single m.2 storage on the common market..... thats fast
for him its like 4gb/sec and 100Tb
You are mixing up gigabit and gigabyte here! 1 gigabyte = 8 gigabit. So the 400GBit connection relates to roughly 50GByte/s transfer rate - which is still REALLY fast though, albeit "only" like 7 times as fast as the fastest consumer NVME drives :)

"As long as nobody tries to tilt it" - Jake, after just trying to tilt it.
This video series is a great example of how recursive LTT's business is. They build servers to store and process the material they film while building said servers. LTT is one of the biggest self-referential meta channels on KZhead. Edit: ITT: People who know that LTT won't keep this server and also what meta actually doesn't mean. Read on to be educated 👌
"They build servers to store and process the material they film while building said servers" that feels wrong smh.
@@patrickkearney8774 it’s not past projects only, but also WIP’s, templates, etc etc etc.
@@patrickkearney8774 Because them being posted doesn't ensure they will remain. Having the raw footage for can be extremely useful for future use and reference. Also, would you want to risk years of work?
They aren't keeping this server so your entire premise flawed at the most fundamental part
@@patrickkearney8774 Scenario: Russia hacks KZhead, uses some previously unseen exploit to explode all their servers. Suddenly LTTs years of work are gone, nowhere to be found and lost forever. Or they can keep it all and are safe, or in case some other videosite rises up and becomes more popular because people are sick of KZheads poor ad payout and awful copyright system. Or their editors want to put in a clip of a previous video into a current one. There's plenty of scenario's as to why you would want to keep all your files, in raw high quality format.
A recommendation to Jake and Linus: Buy a molle ballistic plate carrier. I'm a Mechanical Engineer at work and I'm expected to assemble a lot of the stuff I design. Having a molle vest means I can secure a bunch of standard pouches to my chest like a tool belt, so nothing is ever out of arm's reach of me as I'm working and everything has a specific place on my torso. I even have room for an Ifixit kit, a full socket wrench set, metric and imperial allen wrenches, and some other stuff all on my basic vest. Downside is I look like I'm gonna go on a mass shooting when I wear it, but in Canada that shouldn't be an issue for you guys
I love how much fun both LInus and Jake have together with all these expensive and crazy components. It's infectious as heck.
linus and jake have such great chemistry, i enjoy every video they do together so much.
Honestly as a big/medium iron IT professional it's kinda cringey. They don't really understand how enterprise gear works. *You don't need full surge power for all devices in the rack. Use staggered power-on, or random power-on delay when power is restored. *They don't seem to understand how server PS deal with 3 phase vs 240 single phase, that just because the PS is 1100W does not mean the switch USES 1100W, the manufacturer just used their standard light duity 1U PS. *Enterprise server fans go full power until the ILO comes online for hardware safety, even if the system is powered off. It keeps the hardware from baking if the ILO crashes and can't manage the fan speed. *Copper DAC cables are NOT expensive. *Copper DAC cables they are using don't have much if any logic in them. Active cables would, but those are not active cables. *Those servers were NOT that loud, this was just standard 1U server noise. Connect power to a rack of Sun/Oracle SPARC servers, that is much louder. I've had DC management call me because my SPARC servers were the loudest in the building and causing comments from the other side of the (100,000 sq.ft.) room. Also ZFS resilver times are dependent on data size, not pool size. it was fast to resilver because there was no *data* to resilver.
@@danlandia4399 That's fair, but I'm pretty sure in the past, Linus and co have very much mentioned when it comes to actual enterprise and server stuff, they're just.... doing whatever. Most of Linus' videos and whatnot aren't reallllly that informative, it's just fun. This was quite the fun.

I wish I had a purpose that'd require one of these machines, I'd just love to geek out over how cool of a startup that is
Gotta admit Linus made his best joke yet, “Im Oscar the Tech Grouch” “What the f@ck is wrong with you kids” 10/10
He said that the very instant I finished reading your comment, it was kinda spooky tbh

18:44 - as the fans spin up and reach full tilt (which I'm sure they aren't at that point), all I can imagine is that THX demo that was before feature films...
i want to make a smaller version of one of this for my PC, so i can finally blow up 100 explosive barrels at the same time in Gmod [Gmod is such a lag machine for a PC, how they should test how strong PC's are, is how many of the barrels can be exploded at once without crashing the game]
7:44 the insanity of linus being known to drop something (usually important in some way) and yet he still has the confidence to handle equipment of this caliber is the confidence that i aspire to have one day.
linus: "I didn't get cut so I don't have to fill out that stupid form" linus' brain:"BACKTRACK! BACKTRACK!"
I actually respect that he sort of checked his statement because he doesn't want to discourage anyone in his company from reporting injuries. It's fine if he doesn't want to hassle with reporting his own injuries, but preventing a generally negative perception and work culture toward injury reporting is a ethical decision as an employer. The last thing you want is for your employees to think, consciously or not, that they are somehow whiney or weak or being "that guy" if they report issues.
That was trippy. I started to read this comment just as he said it.
@@DaimyoD0 Calm down
@@DaimyoD0 That's exactly what you want them to think. Filling out a form for a cut is just for losers. The main reason people get the "you're not what we're looking for at this current time" call, after an interview, is because they're whiny losers.
@@DaimyoD0 There was an episode a while back where he hurt/cut himself minor and was like no this doesn't count. But then Linus asked who I presume is the health and safety staff member who went yes this is workplace injury and basically ordered him to complete the relevant form in. A workplace where a staff member is able to do that to the owner boss who listen, they're fine.

20:14 For those wondering 75 decibels is considered the limit without hearing protection before you have a chance of irreversible hearing damage
"OSHA requires employers to implement a hearing conservation program when noise exposure is at or above 85 decibels averaged over 8 working hours, or an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA)." The shorter your exposure, the higher you can go, much like radiation and other harmful influences.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure, the standard for soudn measurement is 1m away from the thing. He was way closer than that. No doubt this beast is hella loud. 100db is considered max volume in a nightclub.

in the uk we have 2 x 32 amp ring mains for sockets at 230v
I remember thinking how cool the DAC connectors looked when I first built and setup our servers and network at work. They previously had CAT 5e everywhere and a combination of 1Gbps and 100Mbps "fast ethernet". For less than the price of 1 server from Dell (that only had SATA SSDs and 1Gbps networking...) I built out a workstation/server that is faster in every conceivable way, has NVMe drives for the SQL database, dual 40Gbps connections, and an "old" network switch (thanks Wendell for the great videos and forum posts!) that has 48 ports @ 10Gbps (rj45) and 4/40Gbps ports. I saw you guys also got your DAC cables from FS, and I gotta say, I was thoroughly impressed at their prices and quality. My deployment has been going strong for over 2.5 years at this point, and it's still the fastest, and most reliable server we've ever had. Put some 10Gbps NICs in all of the engineers workstations, and had their room wired up with CAT6A, and the productivity increase has been phenomenal. Finally got the internet upgraded to 1Gbps symmetrical fiber, and it's made working from home even better. Thanks LTT for really getting me heavily back into tech a few years back. I'm an engineer, but I still do a ton of IT related tasks just because of how much of your content I watch and the curiosity it sparks!
Wow we share a lot of the same tech experiences. I just deployed another storage server about two months ago with two QSFP+ connections to two used enterprise 48-port 10Gbase-T switches that each have 4 QSFP+ ports using DACs from FS (great stuff). The bunch of other storage servers in the rack are connected the same way except for the oldest one that's connected via 4 x 10GBase-T LACP. We also wired the entire office with CAT6A and the infrastructure has served the company exceeding expectations for just over 2 years since we moved in. The difference is that we're a video business and I'm an image technician that does IT related work because I absolutely loved it since I was a kid. 10GBase-T has been very reliable and no one needs to mess around with hard disks and desktop-NASes after ingest anymore. The mechanical sliding and clicking of DIMMs, drive sleds, rack rails, and transceivers locking into place never gets old. I'm so glad I get to be hands on with IT even though I ultimately decided to pursue a different career.
What sort of IPMI are you running on those machines? For NOC purposes how do you get them back up remotely on a weekend if they drop?
@@robertgarrison1738 most IPMI (or iLo or CIMC) are on if any of the power supplies are plugged in (even when machine is off). Unless both A and B side power supplies have failed, IPMI should be up (in my history with super micro, if you upgrade IPMI to latest firmware, they run fine for years and years). In theory you could remotely cycle the power with an IP PDU, if you really had to. You could also log into your Top-of-Rack out-of-band management switch, where most of your IPMI should be connected, and make sure you are getting MAC/ARP for IP, etc.
@@matthewesunderland why are you responding to me with this? Obviously I know what ipmi is and how it works. I was asking the method for which he has set it up on his custom servers he built.
@@robertgarrison1738 You asked "For NOC purposes how do you get them back up remotely on a weekend if they drop?". I have 5 supermicro servers in my basement, all of which have IPMI ports that I have used for years (9+), most of the time remotely over VPN. I was trying to say, short of a loss of power, or a loss of networking, when upgraded to the latest firmware, they never drop (maybe once on one board, I had to reset the IPMI in the very early days ... that required pulling the whole tray out and getting access to the board.) I can't imagine LTT/LMG would be doing anything different. As for the IPMI type, I just logged into the IPMI port I use the most on my server, and it branded SuperMicro, and I see no evidence it was made by anyone but them, it looks like an internal software version called "Redfish". Which from this: www.supermicro.com/en/solutions/management-software/redfish looks like an API. Which VMware vSphere can use for things like DPM.

Imagine you hire some technicians to build you a server and they are having this much fun
Only when there's one server rack to build. God bless the datacenter techs that do this everytime a server farm crops up.
I've spent the past few months building a data-centre for the first time, and actually, morale and spirits are generally pretty high on site. Not quite this much larking about though!
I'd charge the technicians for the privilege. . .scratch that, I'd pay for the privilege to do it for someone else.
Imagine you can have fun at work.
I live that dream 5 days a week. It cures my commute blues.
Did they ever release the next part? I just wasted half an hour scrolling thru all their videos and I can't find it.
Those cables just looked to be normal qsfp. You wouldn't need them to be active for such short lengths and the circuit boards in them just have RC filters on each lane. Active cables are typically for lengths over 5 or 10m when you need to boost the signal strength just to get a clean reading at the other end. I used to work for a company that made these and my job was to design, build, and program systems to do electrical performance QA on these connectors/cables (and many other connector standards). Basically automated a fancy oscilloscope and some very expensive multi position switches to collect measurements, process the data, and give an overall pass/fail.
When you're assembling a server cabinet get all the rails in first and do a dry fit. You want to be sure you have the spacing right, everyone claims to conform precisely to the U height standard not everyone does and you can get in trouble if you don't check first. You also want to make sure about your cable, power and coolant runs.
Makes sense for a server rack you're designing and building yourself, but this is a pre-built and tested setup before it was shipped to them. They're just putting it back together.
they also could've absolutely done that and just skipped it in the edit
That's how an experienced professional would do it. This channel employs the yolo amateur methodology.

That would be a cool product. "LTT toolbelt" like the ones for constrction workers but for multiple pc construction tools.
Tool sash. PC tools are smaller, so you don't need as much space, and I'd assume you'd mostly only need to grab tools with one hand, meaning a sash would be more ergonomic. Touching your left shoulder with your right hand is easier than your left hip
When you boot real servers they always spin up full speed until the OS boots and can turn the fans down with low load. They are offensively loud when you boot a rack
When are they going to release the videos of them using it?

What a lucky guy , I would love to have a job where I could do stuff like this . Awesome 👌
Supermicro rails also threw me off when I first saw them, but I also grew to appreciate them. They're pretty easy to work with once you understand the design.
Back in the day, when setting up a 1m$ PC was easier, you delivered the SGI Onyx and RAID array to the compositor, installed Inferno and called it a day. (In AUD$)
That was the most greatest intro I have seen in my existence
Linus saying "Look at these connectors!" after mentioning he'd love playing with this server even if it was broken is so wholesome!
Weirdly the average UK oven consumes as much power, and doesn't need cables as thick as a babies arm.
@@EvileDik those were for networking
@@EvileDik the thiccboi powerplug also has to be that diameter, because of voltage drop on long distance. canada has 110ac.
Hearing about this project on WAN Show is what finally got me to build my own rack and finally get organized with all my various server boxes and random drives that have just been strewn about on floors and tables and in closets and who knows where else. My budget is considerably smaller, my rack is only 15U and I'm using only 9U of it, but as I've been migrating everything, building a proper rack mount NAS, and getting everything nicely organized and cable managed, I've felt like an absolute boss. I even have a proper switch on the thing, it's glorious. So anyway, thanks for finally giving me the kick in the pants that I've needed for a long time now, making me geek out about this thing and making me want to be able to finally geek out about my own modest set-up. I mean heck, I've got rack mounted Raspberry Pis on this thing, overall it's not that fancy. But everything is in one place and clean, and it's already impressed the absolute crap out of my friends and relatives sending them pictures. I should have done this years ago and it's this series of videos that made me do it.
Wow, this video is mind-blowing! 👏💻 The amount of dedication and hard work put into creating the $1,000,000 computer is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing this amazing project with us! 🙌
19:10 I love how the computer "aw...😥"s.
Now the editing on this video was on point A great hook,lots of energy from the second you click the video Really entertaining and such an epic project
i dont know why any company involved in this said yes im just glad they did i cant wait to see what comes next also im pretty sure every1s job is safe hahaha you guys are fun i pre ordered or email secure what ever for both
For what this is useful?can we play games and studing on it?
@@rswl_mrwn1175 Because the company's who can afford this need a demo and Linus is building it for comparative peanuts, and using his contacts to make it happen.
They probably did all the testing and prepared all the demos they need to do with this configuration. I could think of it as a next-gen enterprise configuration that would get much more exposure via Linus. So once they had everything they wanted to do to it internally, they sent it over. I also am pretty sure everything is insured here, so no worries there.
What a world we're in where drilling a screw in tightly is making someone nervous.
seems fun to compile packages in gentoo with this
im with linus on this and how beautiful the cables are, i did a little wearhouse job for ubiquity and omg i nerded out so hard it was amazing being there i wish it was more then a weekend long project
I'm really interested in that software. Would love some comparisons to other data/file storage systems and software. Looks crazy, that visualization and stuff...
You are a good introducer and advertiser 💚
"Let's game it out" would really need this.
Let’s take a minute to appreciate how far Linus has come from the ncix days to now. :)))

@@rswl_mrwn1175 lol what?
"I didn't cut myself so I don't have to fill out that stupid form.." Lol I worked as a fish cutter in a processing plant in my 20s and I had to fill out A LOT of those forms
You must be a real cluts
I worked at Tyson. Im very familar with the form. lmao

18:50 It's like the THX sound but compute!
I built my own PC with an external audio interface that converts XLR to digital, which I also use an my audio out for the system headphones, and then added a group loop interface. It’s also got another monitor and a USB mic. WITH ALL THAT SAID I still don’t understand what the product ad was at the beginning, and I feel like that means I’m in the right place haha!
That rack powering up really sounds like the old THX sounds lmao.
The servers I usually work with only sound like that when somethings wrong with them lol.
lol
I love how Linus-Jake interactions during server related videos are like 70% innuendos
If you like innuendos, check out the April 1st series by LockPickingLawyer. The visuals are about locks but the audio makes it sound a bit different.
