1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:08,639
we make a lot of videos which is why over the years we've built out over 2

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,080
and a half pedabytes of bulk storage but

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:14,240
somehow it's not enough It's never

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,199
enough and that's especially true when you consider all of our upcoming

5
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:22,439
projects the videos just keep coming the badminton gaming center needs capacity

6
00:00:20,439 --> 00:00:27,760
and if I am ever going to deliver on that free storage backups as an employee

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,439
perk concept I'm going to need a lot

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:36,760
more storage like at least another pedy worth in this economy you're right

9
00:00:33,879 --> 00:00:42,320
storage ain't cheap but what if I told you that I could get a pedite for half

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:44,200
the price I'm listening well we can in

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:49,760
our quest to find the most cost-effective storage upgrade we

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:52,480
stumbled upon these they are recertified

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:57,320
drives but the recertification is done by Seagate themselves and they come in

14
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:02,519
at just about half the price of the same drives brand new so like any other same

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:09,680
person would I immediately handed eBay my credit card information and ordered

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,600
$10,000 worth of them that's 60 drives

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,439
so you got to be wondering lonus what's the catch come closer and I'm going to

18
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:20,000
tell you it's our sponsor MSI they've got

19
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:25,680
laptop deals on Deck this December from the sleek and slim modern 15h aai to the

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,799
gaming Powerhouse Katana a15 AI you can

21
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,799
save big by clicking our Link in the description

22
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,079
okay the real answer to what's the catch is we don't know yet that's kind of the

23
00:01:42,119 --> 00:01:49,880
point of this adventure you see the best advice that we've ever gotten and given

24
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:52,600
is to avoid secondhand storage so this

25
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:57,600
is kind of untreed territory for us but the deal it was too sweet to pass up now

26
00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:02,159
it's not like we were worried about getting outright scammed eBay has pretty

27
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:06,159
good buyer protections and the main sellers of these recertified drives seem

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,239
to have excellent ratings with most of the drives even coming with some kind of

29
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:16,560
warranty but there's still a lot of questions like what does recertified

30
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,040
even mean are they used it's hard to say

31
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:23,120
I mean the eBay listings for these drives say that they have extremely low

32
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,720
power on hours and no bad sectors which would seem to suggest that they're

33
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:31,360
basically brand new but if they were recertified by Seagate the manufacturer

34
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:35,280
then in theory they could just reset the power on hours the next thing the script

35
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,519
says is unbox them but there's not a whole lot of unboxing to do like is this

36
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:41,239
how they came well it's it's not like when you buy an individual drive it's

37
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,560
not like they're all going to ship in like Amazon packaging when you're buying

38
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:50,640
60 they come in trads and that makes

39
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,560
sense okay so how used do these look I

40
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,040
would say they look pretty not used to me not at all there's some fingerprints

41
00:02:54,319 --> 00:03:00,159
but you know our inventory people definitely put asset tags on them not on

42
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,760
this one oh it's freaking clean we gloves even the screw holes I don't

43
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:09,840
think these have ever been mounted to anything look at this 22 2022 are they

44
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:15,159
all like that 2020

45
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:17,599
2021 so these were manufactured anytime

46
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:21,080
over the last few years I mean these drives didn't come out until like the

47
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:25,720
end of 2021 like December oh yeah that one's 2020 so that must be a very early

48
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:31,879
one where did they come from server Parts deals ah yes on eBay so in instead

49
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:36,400
of buying our drives from seagate's own store we chose server part deals they

50
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:41,519
sell them either Factory sealed still recertified but sealed or they actually

51
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:45,280
crack them open and pre-b bur in test them for up to 50 hours according to

52
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:51,239
server part deals the chance of getting a DOA Drive is actually much lower with

53
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,560
those Burnin ones so we opted for that

54
00:03:51,239 --> 00:03:58,920
when we picked these up last December sometimes it takes us a while to catch

55
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:01,920
up to our production ideas we found that

56
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:04,920
The Sweet Spot was these 20 terab drives

57
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,120
for $180 a piece and looking on eBay

58
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:12,079
seems like we actually got a pretty sweet deal they're closer to $220 now

59
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:16,040
but even that is a huge discount compared to new and you could probably

60
00:04:14,079 --> 00:04:19,720
save a bit by buying from them directly rather than buying through eBay

61
00:04:17,479 --> 00:04:24,080
Disclosure by the way server part deals is one of our sponsors now but not on

62
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:27,080
this video and they actually weren't when we bought these drives from them no

63
00:04:25,479 --> 00:04:31,520
we we paid retail for these should we plug them in yeah I want to see if the

64
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:37,919
hours are correct okay we got Cate SE tools we've got one of our drives here

65
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:39,680
yeah Drive details smart 21 okay that

66
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:43,919
checks out that's like nothing essentially yeah great now we just need

67
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:48,039
a machine to put them in since our goal is to Save A Buck we're going to reuse

68
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:52,840
as much Hardware as possible starting with this 45 Drive storinator XL 60 that

69
00:04:51,039 --> 00:04:57,120
we decommissioned a few years ago it still fits 60 drives just like it did

70
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:02,520
when it was part of our original paby cluster but now it has double the

71
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:07,240
capacity cuz we're using 20 TB drives man I remember when we built that

72
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:13,600
so many people were like you're crazy dude just just use the cloud bro news

73
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:15,880
flash the cloud is expensive bro

74
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,720
and even when it isn't getting your data back from it is really expensive it's

75
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:25,039
actually been pretty validating seeing how many folks have been migrating back

76
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:30,440
to having their servers on Prem now to be clear we do use back Blaze backups

77
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:35,960
but only for backup and only for our active projects now obviously a home or

78
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:40,120
a small business user is unlikely to have one of these kicking around but

79
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:45,160
everything that we're doing could be scaled down to just a handful of drives

80
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:49,800
in a Nas chassis or even a single Drive in a recycled oplex like that one that

81
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:53,039
Jake has right next to him which is the same one that we showed off in our hexos

82
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:57,280
announcement video there's actually even people selling 3D printed Nas cases that

83
00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:01,520
look pretty cool the point is you don't need to buy dozens of drives in a fancy

84
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:08,199
old server to get a great deal or at least what we hope is a really great

85
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:10,280
deal you sound so confident oh I'm

86
00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:16,199
confident all right I'm confident it's time to rip these out of here oh it's

87
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:18,120
almost as old as me it is not on the

88
00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:21,440
subject of our server being kind of old there are some Choice upgrades we want

89
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:25,800
to make to this old girl before we throw her back in the rack oh yeah if our

90
00:06:23,479 --> 00:06:31,440
inventory records are correct the CPU in that machine is over 8 years old and

91
00:06:28,919 --> 00:06:35,919
perform Sim Illy to a first gen ryzen 5 I mean look don't get me wrong there is

92
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,520
absolutely no shame in driving the car you got and for home use realistically

93
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:44,319
your network speed is going to be a bottleneck before your CPU but we

94
00:06:42,039 --> 00:06:49,599
happened to have some newer Hardware sitting on the shelf specifically this

95
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,680
ASRock rack Rome d8 2T with an epic

96
00:06:49,599 --> 00:06:56,120
7402p 24 core processor according to

97
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:58,759
PassMark it is nearly five times faster

98
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:02,240
than the old8 core that it's replacing now one important tip if you are going

99
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,000
to be reusing old gear like our old board make sure to update the BIOS to

100
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,879
get the latest security patches and definitely replace any dried out thermal

101
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,440
past this one should be good I I redid that not that long ago okay board's in

102
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:18,440
but I forgot to check the memory it looks like yeah we got 256 gigs of RAM

103
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:22,599
in here which means we should probably put in some more the rule of thumb is

104
00:07:20,599 --> 00:07:26,639
about 1 gig of RAM per terabyte of storage for read caching but our

105
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,919
workload is actually pretty read light so I think we're just going to leave

106
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:35,560
this for now what we're not not going to leave are these hbas these high point

107
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:40,039
750s were end of life years ago but more importantly they just kind of suck So

108
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:48,159
the plan is to replace them with some LSI 9200 series cards now these are also

109
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,319
very old like PCI Express Gen 2 a but

110
00:07:48,159 --> 00:07:53,960
for us that's a feature since they happen to have the right connectors for

111
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:58,479
the cabling in our machine so specifically we're going to be using a

112
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:01,599
pair of genuine LSI 8 drive cards and

113
00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:03,879
then three of these 16 Drive cards two

114
00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:08,039
of which are genuine and one of which is an eBay knockoff now we had a whole

115
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:13,319
video planned on these things back in the day which is actually why we have

116
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:18,080
this I think this one's the fake one yeah it doesn't say LSI on the front

117
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:23,919
whereas the other ones do but the thing is counterfeit silicon is pretty unusual

118
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:26,080
and I suspect this is just old chips

119
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:30,520
from maybe failed boards in some other way that have been resolder onto new

120
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:34,120
boards so should be fine I guess that's part of

121
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:37,760
the adventure I've had some friends who've had these like cheap cards work

122
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:41,560
for years without issues and others who've had them die in a few months we

123
00:08:39,719 --> 00:08:44,880
don't have much choice either way since the legit ones are really hard to find

124
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:51,240
I'm almost done wiring up all the drives then all I got to do is Chuck a little m.2 boot Drive in there and then in our

125
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,760
last slot that's not it uh I'm going to

126
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:58,720
be using a melanox there we go Invidia connectx 6 dual Port 100 Gig network

127
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:03,120
card oh you want to put that in too we're also going to use this cool

128
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:07,279
adapter do dad to connect this 2 and 1/2 in Dell Gen 4 NVMe SSD that we had lying

129
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:12,240
around and then we can use that to help with read caching or level two Arc it

130
00:09:10,079 --> 00:09:15,600
can hang out let screw it in first what I don't need to screw nothing in you

131
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:19,399
screw it in look it fell out that's because you didn't screw it in way to go

132
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,580
Jake didn't say drop it on the be careful that's from startech they kindly

133
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,719
sent that to us thanks

134
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:35,240
startech now to keep everything in this area cool I'm going to throw in a noctua

135
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:36,320
industrial 3000 RPM 140 mil fan that way

136
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:40,760
we won't have any issues with overheating on our network card hbas or

137
00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:44,760
the NVMe SSD that's in there now to find out if it

138
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,000
boots I don't actually know like it

139
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,000
probably

140
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:54,519
should n my optimism is steadily

141
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,600
decreasing if you have a situation like this where you're not getting a display

142
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:01,399
signal from a computer you're trying to troubleshoot a good way to check if it's

143
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:04,680
actually working is to use caps lock or numb lock which you can see when I click

144
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:09,000
caps lock it is turning on and off so clearly

145
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,600
this system is posting it's just not outputting the display signal for some

146
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:18,399
reason or potentially this cable or the monitor is not working I'm going to try

147
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,079
the ipmi and see if that works hey okay

148
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:24,240
it's working sick with that out of the way let's talk software there are

149
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,279
obviously a lot of options but our go-to for a while has been trass scale it's

150
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:32,440
free which is always great and most importantly the ZF FS file system it

151
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:36,440
uses is perfect for large setups like this and super resilient so if we have

152
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:40,680
any issues with these drives which I hope we don't our data should be fine if

153
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,680
you're a home gamer you might also want to check out hexos the userfriendly nas

154
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,920
software Linus invested in once it's out of Early Access but if you're not

155
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:52,480
feeling adventurous there's always unraid whose main claim to fame is the

156
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:56,680
ability to expand its array one drive at a time or there's open media Vault we've

157
00:10:54,680 --> 00:11:01,440
got trass installed now everything seems to be working and we can finally put

158
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:05,279
some hard drives in heavy as a full train it's heavy so I've recruited

159
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:13,079
help it'll take a sec for them all to get like detected and imported but let's

160
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:17,040
see how many we have so far ooh is she working I mean it's on but I haven't

161
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:22,480
looked at the drives yet so I guess let's see how we doing

162
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:27,800
61 wow they're all working well they all show up well yeah I mean we haven't made

163
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:31,600
an array yet should we run a smart test on all of them first can you do that all

164
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:36,079
at once oh yeah nice wow well that's great so they all pass a short smart

165
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:39,560
test if you're getting new drives you should do more than that you should

166
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:43,600
usually people recommend zeroing them all out not because you need to clear

167
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,000
the data but as a burn in to make sure that all the sectors are good and

168
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:51,720
everything is happy we're not going to do that right now but it's not a bad

169
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:55,839
thing to try and in theory server part deals has already done that for us cool

170
00:11:53,880 --> 00:12:00,600
so we can make a pool now oh boy what do you want to call it swimming what so

171
00:11:58,839 --> 00:12:05,200
it's a swimm swimming pool no I don't like that I'm going to call it ocean I'm

172
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:09,440
not salty since this is primarily archival storage and since we have a lot

173
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:16,480
of discs we're going to group our drives into six 10 Drive raid Z2 vdevs that two

174
00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:21,800
in the raid Z2 means that we have two drives worth of data protection kind of

175
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:24,440
like raid six so for us to lose any

176
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:29,199
actual data we would need to have three drives fail and all three would have to

177
00:12:26,959 --> 00:12:33,560
be within the same 10 Drive Group which which is fairly unlikely since

178
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:37,680
multi-drive failures like that usually happen when you end up with drives from

179
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:41,720
the same bad batch and since our drives are recertified it's much more likely

180
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,680
that they are from different time periods and different batches and the

181
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,880
script says in theory because we hadn't actually looked at the stamps on the

182
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,959
chassis yet in practice they are very different 2021 2022 they're all over the

183
00:12:52,360 --> 00:13:01,240
place now for a home setup you're probably going to go with something like a four six or eight wide raid Z1 or Z2

184
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,880
depending on how important that data is to you but with the new r z expansion

185
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:09,199
feature you can start as small as two or even three drives and then expand that

186
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:13,399
existing group as you want to add more drives that's pretty convenient yeah

187
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:22,320
well we can click Start now or go yeah do it so we should have 873 tib bytes

188
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:24,120
what are you for t to TB 960 terab damn

189
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,920
hard drives have just been kind of quietly in the background getting like

190
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:31,800
kind of awesome kind of thick well I've paid absolutely no attention attention

191
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:36,560
to the it's like children uh our cash SSD is not detected

192
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:41,199
most people if they're trying to build something like this at home they're not building with a petabyte of drives

193
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:45,160
they're not going to have a cache SSD in it so let's have a look something about

194
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,920
it is not happy we will have to figure that out later yep I'm not expecting

195
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:54,880
like crazy numbers cuz it's really old hbas and we have a very wide vde depth

196
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:57,560
size I mean but 8 gigabytes a second

197
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:01,199
that's pretty good or giby bytes oh I'll take it goes up and down and up and down

198
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,199
it's hard drivve so we're not really gonna get much better than that well

199
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:09,639
dude I'm not gonna complain about that that's sick we're not even GNA be able to realistically do that so yeah that's

200
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:15,160
great but most of what we're doing on this thing is sequential anyway exactly

201
00:14:12,079 --> 00:14:17,040
that is like five to seven times what we

202
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,600
would even be doing over like a 10 gig connection yeah which is most of the

203
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:24,800
accesses we do except when we're doing backups and stuff anyways so great

204
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:28,399
freaking awesome yeah I mean the drives they haven't complained wait this is

205
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:33,199
great but remember you said you were going to reach out to and find out what's the deal with these drives I did

206
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,839
they didn't respond at least they haven't yet and it's been like 4 days or

207
00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:39,839
something like that okay I did find a press release on their website about

208
00:14:38,279 --> 00:14:43,480
this program with eBay and it makes it sound almost like they're taking drives

209
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:49,079
that people were going to throw away like from a data center recycler and

210
00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:51,399
refurbing them I don't know it doesn't

211
00:14:49,079 --> 00:14:55,440
say anything conclusively and they look really new they look really new it seems

212
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,880
like our best guess is that they're just customer returns or something like that

213
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:06,399
okay well bad batches they rehabed one way or another in total we spent

214
00:15:02,839 --> 00:15:07,240
$1,160 on 62 drives which compared to

215
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:12,279
the 235,000 we would have paid for new ones

216
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:16,399
seems like a pretty good deal as long as they don't all crap out for now things

217
00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:20,759
look good but it's hard to say what the long-term reliability is going to look

218
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,759
like I'm hopeful though especially given that none of them died immediately so

219
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:29,759
even if they do the fact that we're using ZFS means we should be able to

220
00:15:27,079 --> 00:15:33,480
resilver and repair the in a pretty safe way yeah I mean most

221
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:38,759
hard drives either die like in the first day or you know 3 four 5 years later

222
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:45,560
right server part deals also warranties the drives themselves so should be okay

223
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,480
yeah and full disclosure um I took about

224
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:51,600
half of these drives for another project and they were running for 6 months and

225
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:55,680
they still don't have errors okay well that's a good sign yeah and to feed my

226
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:59,639
data hoarder habits in this economy I actually switched over to recertify

227
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:03,399
drives at my house and and I've got two more or three more of them actually that

228
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:07,160
have been running for multiple years now and they've been great now a brand new

229
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:11,480
exos Drive is going to come with a 5year warranty instead of just two but given

230
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:15,839
these are around half the price with halfish the warranty it was kind of

231
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,959
worth the gamble for me but let us know in the comments if you've had any

232
00:16:17,079 --> 00:16:23,920
experience with recertified drives either good or bad like I don't know we

233
00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:27,040
get Flack sometimes when we show a good deal online and then it goes out of

234
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:31,160
stock a few hours later and no one else can get the same deal but that shouldn't

235
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:36,040
be the case with these there's an entire industry around reusing recertifying and

236
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:40,920
refurbishing Enterprise it equipment and there seems to be no shortage of storage

237
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,440
devices uh one of our favorites is the those jbod disc shelves oh yeah those

238
00:16:43,079 --> 00:16:48,040
allow you to connect a bunch of hard drives to like an existing system and uh

239
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,560
we did a video on them a while ago you should check it out yeah we also came

240
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:56,040
across a pretty wild deal on some NVMe ssds when we were researching this

241
00:16:53,160 --> 00:17:01,560
project so uh Happy deal hunting out there for now it's time for me to go

242
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,279
hunting segue season to our sponsor

243
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:08,280
ground news when you think of the news you think cold hard facts right wrong

244
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:11,919
now more than ever you're being told the stories the media wants you to hear

245
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:16,640
ground News is here to help filter out the fluff and let you come to your own conclusions they gather articles on

246
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:20,559
stories from thousands of sources and take into account political biases and

247
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:23,959
allow you to compare the coverage and see how the story changes depending on

248
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:27,919
whose's reporting I'm sure you've all heard that Pat Ginger recently retired

249
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:31,120
as Intel CEO around when they announced their next generation of graphics cards

250
00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:34,880
you can see on screen right now that reports are not really leaning heavily

251
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:39,320
left or right but there's a tiny bit of left leaning bias and thanks to their

252
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:42,520
bias comparison tool as more articles come in you'll see a breakdown of what

253
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:46,360
aspects of the story are being focused on by each side their blind spot tool is

254
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:50,320
a great feature that shows you stories that might not be covered by your own

258
00:18:01,559 --> 00:18:08,480
Vault build hell yeah that was pretty sick that was like the deluxe version of

259
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:14,080
those Drive shelves yeah it is exactly that yeah and you know I might use some

260
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:14,080
of these drives as like spares for that
