1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:08,120
way back before the Big Move I built a

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:11,519
100 plus terabyte storage server to

3
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:13,759
replace the awful store data on

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:18,240
disconnected drives on a shelf in the bathroom system that we were rocking

5
00:00:16,119 --> 00:00:22,640
before thanks Seagate for the awesome drives and thanks 45 drives.com for the

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:28,400
Rock and personalized storinator server but some of you may have noticed that I

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:33,399
never followed up on the performance testing that I promised to do on that

8
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:36,840
machine I was supposed to be showing off

9
00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:40,399
1 Gigabyte per second transfers with the

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:44,290
10 GB network setup what gives well

11
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:49,289
today we finally get the whole

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:58,640
story the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly make your

13
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:01,640
midtower PC case your own with a variety of modular parts and access

14
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:07,240
check out the link in the video description to learn more so the short

15
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,439
version is this in spite of 45 drives

16
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:16,200
telling me that they had customers with similar configs saturating a 10 GB link

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:19,080
or more I couldn't even get half of that

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:22,880
and it made no sense really I did a lot of tinkering with this box before

19
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:27,159
eventually deploying it different network cards different Drive

20
00:01:24,759 --> 00:01:33,680
configurations and finally got to the point where it was whether freas

21
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:35,479
Hardware or pbac I had to roll it out

22
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,360
because we needed to put our data somewhere and I was just going to have

23
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:46,880
to live with the results that I got I mean I know I know poor lonus only has

24
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:50,439
300 to 350 megabyte per second speeds to

25
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:53,920
his over 100 terabytes of safe storage

26
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:56,320
boohoo but this disrupted my plans for

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:01,240
our storage infrastructure in a bigger way than you might think in addition to

28
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:06,240
archiving old stuff to the server my intention was to have our daily use NZ

29
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:11,560
the SSD one that you probably remember from this video doing nightly syncs or

30
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:16,040
even hourly checkpoints if we could get away with it so we'd have two full

31
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:22,400
copies of all of our mission critical data so I wanted the magnetic NZ to be

32
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:24,319
fast enough to handle that and any

33
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:31,560
random data that our editors needed to read from it from old projects which we

34
00:02:27,519 --> 00:02:34,440
were not able to do so while I've had

35
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:40,080
four months to diagnose this and Ponder what could be wrong because it's had up

36
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,519
to 60 terabytes of important data on it

37
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:52,560
with nowhere else to offload that I've had no choice but to just Lim along at

38
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:52,560
300 350 megabytes per second until

39
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:59,280
today Seagate sent us 35 of their new 8

40
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:04,799
terabyte Enterprise capacity drives and no these are not the shingled platter

41
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:09,120
archival ones these are rocking ass capable of well in excessive 200

42
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:12,560
megabytes per second transfer speeds rated at 2 million hours meantime

43
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:19,879
between failure and with a 5year warranty to back it up proper Enterprise

44
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,440
capacity drives so I immediately tore

45
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:25,879
them out of their packaging and began building pyramids that no just kidding

46
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,959
well actually okay I did build pyramids but but what I actually built with them

47
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:36,200
after the pyramids was two additional servers each to hold a copy of our 60

48
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,200
terabytes of data while I worked on the

49
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:42,000
Vault so one of those machines is actually eventually going to be a Nas

50
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:46,680
unit at my house and the other one is going to be an off-site backup server

51
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:51,720
for this puppy but each of those will get their own videos later so with the

52
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:57,079
data safely stored on a hardware raid 6 and on a software butter FS raid 5 each

53
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:03,319
of those transfers took over a day by the way I wiped the frez and be began

54
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,840
trying things so first I tried six Drive

55
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:13,480
vevs since that's a more optimal number for ZFS 2 nope still shoddy transfer

56
00:04:09,239 --> 00:04:16,919
speeds next I tried 10 Drive vevs no

57
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:21,239
difference again finally in desperation

58
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:24,120
I tried a 27 Drive raid zero an

59
00:04:21,239 --> 00:04:30,199
experimental class configuration that no one should trust to hold any data no

60
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,840
matter how amazing the drives are and

61
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:38,240
same thing which after talking to the folks at 45 drives about my findings

62
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,919
revealed that the issue is probably a

63
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:45,160
software one because they've seen NFS shares just fly in a similar

64
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:50,440
configuration to mine which doesn't do me any good because this is a Windows

65
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,479
environment and we need SMB shares and

66
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,639
so I had to keep investigating because if I'm going to be running around saying

67
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:59,680
this Nas unit in these drives are capable of over a Gigabyte per second of

68
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,680
transfer speed we use them here at l Media Group I mean I'm basically

69
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:09,360
endorsing the things it's not good enough to me for 45 drives to see it in

70
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,720
their lab I need to see it so I've been

71
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,199
chatting a lot with the unraid guys ever since they helped us do the two Gamers

72
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:19,280
one CPU project which you should definitely check out if you haven't

73
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:25,720
already and they offered to spend some time configuring an experimental raid

74
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:28,759
five butter FS array in un raid and

75
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:32,440
tuning both the network settings as well

76
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:34,960
as the SMB share settings so our initial

77
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:39,479
test on a vanilla unraid server was frankly pretty ho hum actually fairly

78
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,039
similar there's that poor SMB optimization outside of Windows

79
00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:46,360
platforms rearing its ugly head again

80
00:05:44,039 --> 00:05:51,639
some 4 kilobyte packet and jumbo frame tuning to the network card tuning of

81
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,759
unraid networking configuration and boom

82
00:05:51,639 --> 00:06:00,080
that my friends is the cleanest 10 gigabit transfer that I've actually ever

83
00:05:57,039 --> 00:06:02,440
seen now not a lot of lime Tech

84
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,880
customers are running 10 gig e but from their perspective I guess it's just

85
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:11,360
valuable R&D for down the road when that gear becomes more common but I mean even

86
00:06:08,599 --> 00:06:15,960
then this is not the kind of config that most people will encounter even on

87
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:20,319
unrated I actually don't intend to continue to run it like this uh butter

88
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:26,000
FS raid five and raid six are both in the experimental stage but the good news

89
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:30,080
here is that what I realized after running the slow freas configuration for

90
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:36,400
so long was that generally speaking I don't need

91
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,360
more than the 200 to 220 megabyte pers

92
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:44,520
second transfer speeds that my individual drives are capable of in a

93
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,560
normal unraid array and that the only

94
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:51,560
thing that needs to be lightning fast performance-wise is the new footage and

95
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:57,440
projects that we offload to it relatively little of which is created on

96
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:59,080
a daily basis so we devised a new plan

97
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:05,080
and to help us realize the new plan Kingston stepped up and offered to send

98
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:13,160
us eight of their e50 Enterprise grade 480 gig ssds with power loss protection

99
00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:15,960
these drives will act as a 2 tbte RAID

100
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:22,199
10 right cache that will be capable of the full 10 gbit transfer rate for fast

101
00:07:19,479 --> 00:07:27,720
updates throughout the day and that then flushes nightly to the hard drives when

102
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:33,840
no one is using them all of this can be completely transparent to the user so

103
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,639
the only time we'll ever see sub 1 GB

104
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:41,400
per second transfers is when we're accessing cold data or when doing a

105
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,080
massive dump of over 2 terabytes at a

106
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:48,520
time another cool side note is that this might turn out to be a better way to

107
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:52,919
leverage the extra horsepower that this op server is leaving on the table anyway

108
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:58,319
because she never touches more than about 20% CPU usage so I could take a

109
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:04,440
couple of cores and turn them into a network rendering box or game server or

110
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,400
something else and on the subject then

111
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:12,440
of our server being op I guess that brings us to the conclusion it turns out

112
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:15,080
that the hardware is but SMB shares on

113
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:19,520
non Windows platforms take some tuning and optimization that if you're willing

114
00:08:17,599 --> 00:08:23,120
to endure the dense documentation and condescending attitude of the freenas

115
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:26,800
community you could probably achieve there but instead I ended up working

116
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:32,080
directly with lime Tech to have baked into an upcoming release of unraid 6 and

117
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:34,440
I'm super happy with the new

118
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:38,440
config if you're building a mobile app and searching for a simple payment
