WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.960 we could build mundane computers with 00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:09.960 normal components we could stick to the 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:12.719 convenient list of known compatible 00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:18.240 parts and we could stay safely within the boundaries of modern technology we 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:22.039 could do reviews of stuff like smart baby monitors and actually okay well we 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 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 00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:35.200 normally do no today we're going to be building a 00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:37.719 48 terabyte storage server with 64 gigs 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:44.480 of RAM eight processing cores and 80 plus gold power supply and ample cooling 00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:47.559 all in a case that's not much bigger 00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:51.640 than a couple of shoe boxes welcome to 00:00:47.559 --> 00:00:51.640 insane compact NZ 00:00:56.879 --> 00:01:02.120 2014 Corsair gaming RGB keyboards 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:07.280 feature Precision Cherry MX RGB key switches for 16.8 million color per key 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:11.759 backlighting for virtually unlimited customization click now to learn more so 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:17.520 I was first inspired to do this build when Silverstone showed me the DS 380 a 00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:23.759 case that they boasted featured support for an ITX motherboard eight 3 and 1/2 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:27.040 in hard drives and four 2 and 1/2 in 00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:29.520 ssds or hard drives to which I replied 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:33.079 well okay uh but what the heck Hardware are you expecting people to put in this 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:37.560 thing storage geeks on a budget are going to buy 12 or 16 Port raid cards 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 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:44.560 a perfect motherboard for this thing the 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:51.799 ASRock rack c2750 d4i server slw workstation board 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:59.159 with a passively cooled Intel avaton 27508 Core CPU support for up to 64 gigs 00:01:55.399 --> 00:02:00.640 of ECC DDR3 memory dual Intel i210 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:06.039 network card 12 SATA ports six SATA 3 from a pair of 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:10.479 Marvel controllers and six from the Intel controller two of which are SATA 3 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 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 00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:24.040 sweet server grade remote monitoring and management stuff that I've never really 00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:28.560 had the pleasure of playing around with before including power controls and even 00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:33.239 a display output preview that runs in a little Java plugin in your browser so I 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:37.840 said heck yeah man now this board is cool in general but its most important 00:02:35.480 --> 00:02:43.920 feature for this build was actually kind of hidden in that massive spec list and 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:46.159 it wasn't hard drive support but rather 00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:52.800 RAM support we're going to be using Freez which calls for some base memory 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:55.519 about 8 gigs and then 1 gig of ECC so 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 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 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:10.519 raid six and that two drives within a vdev can fail out right before any data 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:15.480 is lost but otherwise not necessarily that similar um well we're going to need 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:19.239 a whole lot of RAM aren't we 64 gigs is 00:03:15.480 --> 00:03:22.239 possibly slightly Overkill but since the 00:03:19.239 --> 00:03:24.280 options are going to be 32 gigs in you 00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:28.000 know a regular 4dm motherboard or doubling it to 64 gigs in this 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:31.799 particular motherboard well we're better off going a little bit Overkill rather 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 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:40.000 sticks of intelligent memories 16 gig 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 00:03:41.920 --> 00:03:49.920 right on the approved hardware list for this motherboard so feeling pretty good 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:55.040 about our chances which leads us to the storage drives we're using just about 00:03:52.879 --> 00:04:00.000 the badasses storage drives on the market right now seates Enterprise 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:04.360 capacity drives they're designed for us large storage appliances in the most 00:04:02.079 --> 00:04:09.360 demanding possible environments data centers where vibration from nearby 00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:15.239 drives all around them needs to be compensated for and performance cannot 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 00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:22.479 prepared for a 247 or always on workload 00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:27.280 with full drive encryption support and a huge 1.4 million hour meantime between 00:04:24.840 --> 00:04:34.000 failure but compared to cate's own consumer NAS Drives their ratings are 00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:36.199 based on 10 times the workload or 550 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 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:44.440 about these too but obviously these drives um what we're using as a small 00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:48.440 business isn't necessarily going to be practical for everyone and these 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:52.680 Enterprise capacity drives might not make any sense for the typical home user 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:57.080 but for you guys there's the regular Nas and raid drives that are perfectly good 00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:01.440 options for a 1 to eight Bay storage device and cool little tidbit that I 00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:06.000 wasn't aware of is that Seagate sells them with a data recovery insurance plan 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:10.639 now that they're calling seate plus rescue that includes shipping both ways 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:14.000 a replacement drive that they send the data back to you on and no deductible or 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:18.280 limit to the cost of the recovery service with about a 90% success rate so 00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:22.680 that's maybe something to consider I had no idea that was there until I was 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.120 researching this build now for the rest 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:28.880 of the hardware I had originally intended to install the 83 and 1/2 in 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:34.759 drives for mass storage with four ssds for operating Sy system and a large SSD 00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:37.080 cache but further investigation revealed 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:42.199 that unless your frez is going to be used for a database workload or like a 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 00:05:45.479 --> 00:05:54.280 you would benefit you want to keep the size relatively small like 128 gigs or 00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:57.600 256 gigs in most cases so I decided to 00:05:54.280 --> 00:06:00.440 change gears and use my 1 TB ssds for 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:04.560 dedicated shares that can be assigned to individual video editors to use as 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:09.800 high-speed storage for Scratch discs This Server will have up to a 20 gbit 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:13.720 per second link to the rest of the network so it should be enough to keep 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:19.080 everyone's storage Snappy even if they're accessing SSD storage over their 00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:21.759 own 10 gbit links then for power I've 00:06:19.080 --> 00:06:25.120 gone with a Silverstone sfx 450 W modular 80 plus gold power supply so 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 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 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:38.440 management in this case so the setup 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:43.319 process for FAS once you read the highly recommended by the way 60 plus page PDF 00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:48.280 written by cyber jock from the FAS forums is actually surprisingly 00:06:45.400 --> 00:06:51.759 straightforward burn a disc and put it in the system with only the drive that 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 00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:02.199 and the whole thing pretty much does itself once you boot it up shutter down 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:06.639 to install all your drives or don't the ASRock board has full support for hot 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:10.720 Swap and then you pretty much boot up and you're dumped at a command prompt 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:13.720 where actually things were surprisingly straightforward it might look a little 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.800 bit intimidating if you've never really dealt with that kind of thing before but 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:21.000 it's it's really not you're just going to select which Ethernet interface 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:25.039 you're going to check the IP address that was assigned to the system via DHCP 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:29.599 from your router and then you're going to go to some other computer on the 00:07:26.479 --> 00:07:31.199 network enter that IP create a password 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 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:42.120 the more advanced features of freas through the web interface so then lonus 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:46.479 why Fraz with a ZFS file system for this build great question um initially I just 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 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 00:07:52.159 --> 00:08:00.599 three miixed controller setup on this ASRock board will not support a large 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:05.280 raid array across all the controllers and I'd need an addin Hardware raid card 00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:09.960 which would add expense and limit me to the onboard gigabit networking ports in 00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:14.000 teaming mode well after doing the necessary research I discovered that due 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:18.280 to the ludicrous RAM requirements both in terms of the amount you have to buy 00:08:15.599 --> 00:08:22.199 and the necessity of ECC support you won't really be saving any money if you 00:08:20.039 --> 00:08:28.680 want a really high capacity server like ours anyway and I discovered that freas 00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:33.080 is surprisingly Limited in terms of how you can expand your arrays and whatnot 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 00:08:34.599 --> 00:08:40.080 I could Salvage my Lightning Fast networking something that will be 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:45.040 important if we have multiple editors working with 4K prores footage off the 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:47.040 same array at the same time where lots 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 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:56.760 perform then well here you go these numbers are for a 10 GB SSD based 00:08:54.000 --> 00:09:00.519 workstation to our server so while it wasn't cheap there's no doubt that when 00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:05.440 it comes to what we were after which was sequential performance for multiple 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:09.880 users we ended up with a pretty rocking 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:13.640 and compact little storage box here 00:09:09.880 --> 00:09:16.120 speaking of multiple users ting.com 00:09:13.640 --> 00:09:19.959 mobile that makes sense that's their tagline and unlike most smaller carriers 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 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:30.120 towers made of like you know pretzels and paper clips and like Co clothes 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 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:39.040 long as you have good Sprint service in your area then you'll get good Tank 00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:43.720 Service the key difference is that they're buying wholesale from Sprint and 00:09:41.800 --> 00:09:46.519 then they give you guys a very very different sort of deal so you're not 00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:51.399 locked into any sort of a contract you pay only for what you use their average 00:09:48.959 --> 00:09:55.839 monthly bill per device is only $21 and what's cool about it is you can 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 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:04.320 plan where I get a thousand text messages in this many minutes and this 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:07.880 many megabytes of data it works perfectly for me every month I use 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:12.000 exactly that amount well go ahead and test it because they have a savings 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:15.480 calculator that lets you plug in all the numbers from your last three bills so 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 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:24.920 runs a little calculation goes Bing you would have saved this much on Ting or 00:10:22.680 --> 00:10:29.600 hey maybe you wouldn't have it just runs the calculation for you so they figure 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 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:38.440 you do use our link Linus doing.com to 00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:41.440 get $25 off a new device or $25 in 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:42.839 service credit pretty cool stuff so 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 00:10:45.760 --> 00:10:53.360 comment letting me know what you would have changed about the insane compact 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:57.800 Nas here I'm actually genuinely very curious um you know what you guys would 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 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 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 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 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:26.460 forget to subscribe 00:11:29.560 -->
