1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,960
we could build mundane computers with

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:09,960
normal components we could stick to the

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,719
convenient list of known compatible

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:18,240
parts and we could stay safely within the boundaries of modern technology we

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:22,039
could do reviews of stuff like smart baby monitors and actually okay well we

6
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:25,240
do have on that note we do have a video coming about the mimo smart baby monitor

7
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:29,240
so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss that but that's not what we

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:35,200
normally do no today we're going to be building a

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:37,719
48 terabyte storage server with 64 gigs

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:44,480
of RAM eight processing cores and 80 plus gold power supply and ample cooling

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,559
all in a case that's not much bigger

12
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:51,640
than a couple of shoe boxes welcome to

13
00:00:47,559 --> 00:00:51,640
insane compact NZ

14
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:02,120
2014 Corsair gaming RGB keyboards

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,280
feature Precision Cherry MX RGB key switches for 16.8 million color per key

16
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:11,759
backlighting for virtually unlimited customization click now to learn more so

17
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:17,520
I was first inspired to do this build when Silverstone showed me the DS 380 a

18
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:23,759
case that they boasted featured support for an ITX motherboard eight 3 and 1/2

19
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:27,040
in hard drives and four 2 and 1/2 in

20
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:29,520
ssds or hard drives to which I replied

21
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:33,079
well okay uh but what the heck Hardware are you expecting people to put in this

22
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:37,560
thing storage geeks on a budget are going to buy 12 or 16 Port raid cards

23
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:42,439
and put them in an ITX machine are you mad and they said no no no no no there's

24
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:44,560
a perfect motherboard for this thing the

25
00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:51,799
ASRock rack c2750 d4i server slw workstation board

26
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:59,159
with a passively cooled Intel avaton 27508 Core CPU support for up to 64 gigs

27
00:01:55,399 --> 00:02:00,640
of ECC DDR3 memory dual Intel i210

28
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:06,039
network card 12 SATA ports six SATA 3 from a pair of

29
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:10,479
Marvel controllers and six from the Intel controller two of which are SATA 3

30
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,120
and the other four of which are SATA 2 a PCIe adex expansion slot that you can

31
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:20,879
use for raid card expansion or in our case a 10 gbit Nick card and some really

32
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,040
sweet server grade remote monitoring and management stuff that I've never really

33
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,560
had the pleasure of playing around with before including power controls and even

34
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,239
a display output preview that runs in a little Java plugin in your browser so I

35
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:37,840
said heck yeah man now this board is cool in general but its most important

36
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:43,920
feature for this build was actually kind of hidden in that massive spec list and

37
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:46,159
it wasn't hard drive support but rather

38
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:52,800
RAM support we're going to be using Freez which calls for some base memory

39
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:55,519
about 8 gigs and then 1 gig of ECC so

40
00:02:52,800 --> 00:03:01,720
that's error correcting RAM per 1 tbyte of raw storage space so given that we're

41
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:06,319
planning to use eight 6 TB 3 and 1/2 in drives in ZFS 2 it's about equivalent to

42
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:10,519
raid six and that two drives within a vdev can fail out right before any data

43
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:15,480
is lost but otherwise not necessarily that similar um well we're going to need

44
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:19,239
a whole lot of RAM aren't we 64 gigs is

45
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:22,239
possibly slightly Overkill but since the

46
00:03:19,239 --> 00:03:24,280
options are going to be 32 gigs in you

47
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:28,000
know a regular 4dm motherboard or doubling it to 64 gigs in this

48
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,799
particular motherboard well we're better off going a little bit Overkill rather

49
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:38,239
than than risking losing data because we didn't have enough RAM so we've got four

50
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:40,000
sticks of intelligent memories 16 gig

51
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:44,879
dims that we're going to be using to keep our data nice and safe they're

52
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:49,920
right on the approved hardware list for this motherboard so feeling pretty good

53
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:55,040
about our chances which leads us to the storage drives we're using just about

54
00:03:52,879 --> 00:04:00,000
the badasses storage drives on the market right now seates Enterprise

55
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:04,360
capacity drives they're designed for us large storage appliances in the most

56
00:04:02,079 --> 00:04:09,360
demanding possible environments data centers where vibration from nearby

57
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:15,239
drives all around them needs to be compensated for and performance cannot

58
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:20,320
go down and failure is not an option and I mean not only do these bad boys come

59
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:22,479
prepared for a 247 or always on workload

60
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:27,280
with full drive encryption support and a huge 1.4 million hour meantime between

61
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:34,000
failure but compared to cate's own consumer NAS Drives their ratings are

62
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:36,199
based on 10 times the workload or 550

63
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,440
terabytes per year with a 5year warranty to back it up so I'm feeling pretty good

64
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:44,440
about these too but obviously these drives um what we're using as a small

65
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,440
business isn't necessarily going to be practical for everyone and these

66
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:52,680
Enterprise capacity drives might not make any sense for the typical home user

67
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:57,080
but for you guys there's the regular Nas and raid drives that are perfectly good

68
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,440
options for a 1 to eight Bay storage device and cool little tidbit that I

69
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:06,000
wasn't aware of is that Seagate sells them with a data recovery insurance plan

70
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:10,639
now that they're calling seate plus rescue that includes shipping both ways

71
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:14,000
a replacement drive that they send the data back to you on and no deductible or

72
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:18,280
limit to the cost of the recovery service with about a 90% success rate so

73
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:22,680
that's maybe something to consider I had no idea that was there until I was

74
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,120
researching this build now for the rest

75
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,880
of the hardware I had originally intended to install the 83 and 1/2 in

76
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:34,759
drives for mass storage with four ssds for operating Sy system and a large SSD

77
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:37,080
cache but further investigation revealed

78
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:42,199
that unless your frez is going to be used for a database workload or like a

79
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:48,000
mail server you may not benefit from an L2 Arc or SSD cache at all and even if

80
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:54,280
you would benefit you want to keep the size relatively small like 128 gigs or

81
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:57,600
256 gigs in most cases so I decided to

82
00:05:54,280 --> 00:06:00,440
change gears and use my 1 TB ssds for

83
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:04,560
dedicated shares that can be assigned to individual video editors to use as

84
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:09,800
high-speed storage for Scratch discs This Server will have up to a 20 gbit

85
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:13,720
per second link to the rest of the network so it should be enough to keep

86
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:19,080
everyone's storage Snappy even if they're accessing SSD storage over their

87
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:21,759
own 10 gbit links then for power I've

88
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:25,120
gone with a Silverstone sfx 450 W modular 80 plus gold power supply so

89
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,360
this is actually the first time I've ever been thankful that a power supply has a removable 8 Pin CPU connector

90
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:35,720
since this board doesn't require one and there's not a lot of space for cable

91
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:38,440
management in this case so the setup

92
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:43,319
process for FAS once you read the highly recommended by the way 60 plus page PDF

93
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:48,280
written by cyber jock from the FAS forums is actually surprisingly

94
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:51,759
straightforward burn a disc and put it in the system with only the drive that

95
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:57,479
you want to use for your OS installed in my case an old 80 gig Intel x25 M gen 1

96
00:06:55,759 --> 00:07:02,199
and the whole thing pretty much does itself once you boot it up shutter down

97
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:06,639
to install all your drives or don't the ASRock board has full support for hot

98
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:10,720
Swap and then you pretty much boot up and you're dumped at a command prompt

99
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,720
where actually things were surprisingly straightforward it might look a little

100
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,800
bit intimidating if you've never really dealt with that kind of thing before but

101
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:21,000
it's it's really not you're just going to select which Ethernet interface

102
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:25,039
you're going to check the IP address that was assigned to the system via DHCP

103
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:29,599
from your router and then you're going to go to some other computer on the

104
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:31,199
network enter that IP create a password

105
00:07:29,599 --> 00:07:34,960
and that's pretty much it you can do the rest of it if you're not getting into

106
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:42,120
the more advanced features of freas through the web interface so then lonus

107
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:46,479
why Fraz with a ZFS file system for this build great question um initially I just

108
00:07:44,919 --> 00:07:50,159
kind of wanted to try it since I've never played around with it before and I

109
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:54,360
heard it was great and I thought I might be able to save some money since the

110
00:07:52,159 --> 00:08:00,599
three miixed controller setup on this ASRock board will not support a large

111
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:05,280
raid array across all the controllers and I'd need an addin Hardware raid card

112
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:09,960
which would add expense and limit me to the onboard gigabit networking ports in

113
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:14,000
teaming mode well after doing the necessary research I discovered that due

114
00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:18,280
to the ludicrous RAM requirements both in terms of the amount you have to buy

115
00:08:15,599 --> 00:08:22,199
and the necessity of ECC support you won't really be saving any money if you

116
00:08:20,039 --> 00:08:28,680
want a really high capacity server like ours anyway and I discovered that freas

117
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:33,080
is surprisingly Limited in terms of how you can expand your arrays and whatnot

118
00:08:30,919 --> 00:08:36,800
but I decided to go ahead with it anyway just so that I could try it and so that

119
00:08:34,599 --> 00:08:40,080
I could Salvage my Lightning Fast networking something that will be

120
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:45,040
important if we have multiple editors working with 4K prores footage off the

121
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,040
same array at the same time where lots

122
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:51,279
of sequential performance is going to be key so at the end of all that how did it

123
00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:56,760
perform then well here you go these numbers are for a 10 GB SSD based

124
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,519
workstation to our server so while it wasn't cheap there's no doubt that when

125
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:05,440
it comes to what we were after which was sequential performance for multiple

126
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:09,880
users we ended up with a pretty rocking

127
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:13,640
and compact little storage box here

128
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:16,120
speaking of multiple users ting.com

129
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:19,959
mobile that makes sense that's their tagline and unlike most smaller carriers

130
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:26,000
because you might be sitting there going well I've never heard of Ting before they probably have like a like cell

131
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:30,120
towers made of like you know pretzels and paper clips and like Co clothes

132
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:34,680
hangers now no it's not like that they're actually running on the Sprint network but the key difference so as

133
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:39,040
long as you have good Sprint service in your area then you'll get good Tank

134
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:43,720
Service the key difference is that they're buying wholesale from Sprint and

135
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,519
then they give you guys a very very different sort of deal so you're not

136
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:51,399
locked into any sort of a contract you pay only for what you use their average

137
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:55,839
monthly bill per device is only $21 and what's cool about it is you can

138
00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:00,519
kind of go oh well yeah but the way that I use my phone you know my locked in

139
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:04,320
plan where I get a thousand text messages in this many minutes and this

140
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,880
many megabytes of data it works perfectly for me every month I use

141
00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:12,000
exactly that amount well go ahead and test it because they have a savings

142
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:15,480
calculator that lets you plug in all the numbers from your last three bills so

143
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:19,680
how much you paid how much air time you used and all that stuff and then it just

144
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:24,920
runs a little calculation goes Bing you would have saved this much on Ting or

145
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:29,600
hey maybe you wouldn't have it just runs the calculation for you so they figure

146
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:34,600
98% of Americans would save so it's probably worth it to check it out and if

147
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:38,440
you do use our link Linus doing.com to

148
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:41,440
get $25 off a new device or $25 in

149
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,839
service credit pretty cool stuff so

150
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:48,040
thank you for watching this video you guys like this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a

151
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:53,360
comment letting me know what you would have changed about the insane compact

152
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:57,800
Nas here I'm actually genuinely very curious um you know what you guys would

153
00:10:55,279 --> 00:11:01,160
do for a NZ cuz you know there's a lot of variation and as always check the

154
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,160
link in the video description you can buy a cool t-shirt like this one you can give us a monthly contribution or you

155
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:10,600
can change your Amazon bookmark to one with our affiliate code so whenever you buy hard drives we get a small Kickback

156
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:15,050
all that stuff helps us out a lot thanks again for watching and as always don't
