1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,280
I'm here live in studio with the one and

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:10,080
only deadmau5. Hey, can I Can I Can I put my arm around you like this?

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,320
I mean Can I kind of rub your back like this? Can I Can I kind of grab your ass like

4
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:15,320
this?

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:26,000
Did you just light up a cigar? No. Have you actually opened this? No, I haven't.

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,680
I like to keep a fresh perspective when I open something for the first time.

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,640
They'll even go and reseal boxes for me. Of course, your first question is

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:39,160
probably what exactly is it that I have not unboxed yet. It's a collaborative

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:44,960
product between 45 Drives, who you may remember from their servers that hold 45

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,480
Drives or more, and the one and only

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,120
deadmau5, and it's called the 45 Studio,

12
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:54,920
and it is a silent, high-performance,

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:01:02,880
local network storage device that is explicitly for Oh, wow, it's

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,040
really sexy. Sorry, explicitly for

15
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:09,880
>> [music] >> content creators. Not just sexy content creators. I know, I I feel excluded from

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:14,440
this list. I would hate for you to feel excluded, Joel. So, why don't you talk

17
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:19,920
me through some of what you contributed to this collaborative endeavor? Tell me

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,600
what makes this ideal for a musician.

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:28,160
You've hooked me onto 45 Drives, and you've done absolutely nothing to accommodate my needs, right? But, we're

20
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:30,200
talking from the OG storage units that I

21
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:33,600
got, and then eventually upgrading to a storage unit or something like that.

22
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:37,320
These units, they got fans, and they are loud. Like, for my needs, it was fine

23
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:41,440
because, you know, I've got my machine room. I can tuck that thing away and and

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:46,560
let it pound the sound. But, that's a privilege to just have an isolated space

25
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,720
that's separate from their studio space. Correct. I always thought like, how cool

26
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:55,560
would this thing be like on my desk and I could just like, you know, have there,

27
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:57,520
pick up, bring to my video editor's

28
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,720
place, you know, in a car or something like that, and just have them have it

29
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:07,800
sit on the desk. Right. So, quiet is As for the art on there, language on

30
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,679
that is Strudel. See this young woman

31
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:14,240
on Twitch that live codes music, and it's insane. I want to crack this open

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:18,520
because You can put a little heat sink on a Raspberry Pi. Good job. You created

33
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,960
a silent system. Creating a silent, high-performance system, that takes a

34
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,600
little bit more work. Let's grab a screwdriver. Hey, uh since I'm walking

35
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:30,000
around you here, I noticed this is a wonderful hoodie you're wearing. Where

36
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,880
Where did you get that? Thank you. Uh

37
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:35,760
You're a fun guy. Let me see it. Oh, you haven't even seen it? Oh, you're You're

38
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:40,760
wearing the same one as me. So, you got some PCIe slots on there. Got like a

39
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,240
cool patch on the hood. It's pretty gangster. Whole thing's UV reactive

40
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:48,400
because, of course, it is. I'm going to have mortgage payments, guy. I just

41
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:52,440
recently got my unit. So, we have the same unit. Hey, there we go. All right,

42
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,720
non-ferrous screws. I know they're higher quality, but

43
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:02,680
the 45 Drives. All right, here it is. Check this out.

44
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:08,880
Did I hear you correctly? So, that's a vapor chamber base with eight heat

45
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:13,320
pipes. So, we've got four running over to this side where we've got these

46
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:17,440
copper plates that have a thermal interface material over to these giant

47
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:21,360
fins on the side. Then, we've got four more over to the other side. You might

48
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:25,280
look at these fins and go, "Okay, well, hey, those aren't very dense fins. Is

49
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,840
that really going to be that great?" And you're kind of right because it's not as

50
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:32,960
much surface area as if you had a bunch of really dense little fins. But, it

51
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:37,560
turns out that for passive cooling, you actually don't want the most dense fins

52
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,160
because you've got to have enough room for the air to heat up next to them, and

53
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:46,200
then for convection to take place and carry that heat up away from the system.

54
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:50,120
That is a tiny motherboard. This is cool, too. I'm surprised that more

55
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:54,520
system builders don't do this. It's a simple little 3D printed part, and it

56
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,920
performs a simple function, but it's really important. What this does is it

57
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:03,800
goes right here over the two passive heat sinks that are already integrated

58
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:08,520
onto the motherboard, and it allows them to have intakes at the very bottom, and

59
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:13,680
then creates a chimney for them to exhaust their heat up rather than

60
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,600
allowing them to get heat saturated by all the parts around them that under

61
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,680
heavy load could be kicking out a fair bit of heat into the inside of the

62
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:25,720
chassis. Oh, wow, the power supply is passive, too. That's just chillin'

63
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:29,360
there. No pun intended. Well, pun a little bit intended because the system

64
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:34,280
doesn't consume that much power. So, the CPU is a quad-core, eight-thread affair.

65
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:39,640
This one's configured with 64 gigs of DDR5 memory. It's got a Kingston NVMe

66
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:43,480
boot drive, and then you can have up to eight SATA SSDs in the front. Why don't

67
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:49,720
we take a look at the back? Do you see it as a problem that it's only got a

68
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:52,000
couple USB ports, a VGA video output,

69
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:57,080
and then it's got what looks like dual 10 gig Ethernet [music] interfaces? I I

70
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:01,240
I do and I don't. This thing's network accessible, so it's just kind of a turn

71
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:05,720
it on, let it boot, and then get it on the web server. My only real criticism

72
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,320
about these kind of devices are the as VGA output. Theoretically, it shouldn't

73
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:14,280
be a problem cuz you've got your management port here. You can [music] reconfigure the BIOS. You can install an

74
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:19,240
operating system. You never have to hook a display up to it. But, yeah, okay. If

75
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:23,040
you do, VGA can feel like a bit of a downer, but that's just standard in the

76
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,200
server space, and this is a server-grade motherboard, so you're kind of going to

77
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,600
have to live with it. All right, I'm going to get the panel thrown on, and then I guess we should talk about our

78
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:36,200
sponsor. Do we have a sponsor for this video? Our sponsor, UGREEN. Their DH4300

79
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:40,840
NAS is an all-in-one beginner-friendly storage solution that has up to 120

80
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:44,680
terabytes of storage. That's literally millions of photos, files, and videos.

81
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,680
One nice thing about it is that it's compatible with a variety of third-party

82
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:52,600
hard drives, and you can even check their site for compatibility. Setup is

83
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:57,560
simple with the UGREEN app. It connects via NFC, and you get access to your

84
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:02,200
files across multiple devices. It syncs quickly with Google Drive, so backups

85
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:05,720
are very straightforward. And with a 2.5 gigabit Ethernet port, you know you're

86
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:09,160
getting high-speed transfers. It also has real-time virus scanning and

87
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:13,320
flexible permission management. Grab your DH4300 Plus at the link in the

88
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,720
video description. I was just curious as to like, what your thoughts on what kind

89
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:23,760
of drives we were going to be putting in there. Good question. So, like other 45

90
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,960
Drives products, this is a a BYO kind of

91
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:29,560
situation in terms of the drives that you equip it with. As for what we chose,

92
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,320
it's probably whatever we had eight of lying around.

93
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,800
Ah, yes. As advertised, it's a [ __ ] mix.

94
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:43,040
Can you do that? Oh, yeah. You guys are running open-source Rocky Linux on this

95
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:48,480
thing. So, investment disclosure, invested in HexOS aside, say for an

96
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:53,840
example, you could take these two Micron 5300 Pro Enterprise drives. You could

97
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:58,400
pop them into two of the bays over here, and run those in a RAID 1. That's like

98
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:02,560
super, super safe. If one of these two drives dies, everything is still there

99
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:07,240
on the remaining drive. Then, you could take another six drives like these Team

100
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:11,400
Group EX2s. You throw them over here, and you could run these in like a RAID

101
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:15,600
Z1. So, that would allow you to have one of these six drives fail, and then the

102
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,560
remaining five would still have all the data. But, if a second one failed,

103
00:07:17,544 --> 00:07:22,600
>> [music] >> then you're kind of out of luck. It does require you to do a little bit more of

104
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:28,360
your own research [music] before deploying something like this, but I think the flexibility is absolutely

105
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:31,200
worth it. Also, this is our first chance to have a look at the front. How

106
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,720
gorgeous is that? All right, let's go ahead and slide these drives in. I am

107
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:38,760
liking this drive sled mechanism. Drive goes in,

108
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,840
little mechanism pops out. It's like a Super Nintendo. It's like a

109
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,455
do a shot of you blowing on it and putting it in. >> [laughter]

110
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:51,880
>> This is something worth noting, though. Plug any storage [snorts] device,

111
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:54,360
especially one that is using RAID or one

112
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:58,400
that can be configured with RAM as a write buffer into [music] a UPS, an

113
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:03,160
uninterruptible power supply with a battery in it. You do not want things

114
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:06,240
like this to be unexpectedly powered off. Or like, living out in the middle

115
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:11,440
of the woods where every 2 weeks in winter a tree falls over a power line.

116
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:15,120
Or also just like, being way too hard, you know?

117
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:19,520
And awesome. No, not that kind of hard. Like like hardcore. I learned a very

118
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:24,320
hard lesson about the difference between a Cat 5 and a Cat 6 cable at my Red Rock

119
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:28,880
show. What were you trying to do over 10 gig? Basically, my delivery system where

120
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:34,760
all the music comes out to communicates to OSC, which is the UDP protocol. But,

121
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,440
on that same network, I also send NDI to

122
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:40,120
front of house [music] as a kind of virtual monitors so I can kind of see

123
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:44,520
what I'm doing. I didn't have a network cable to go to the router basically that

124
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:48,680
went to front of house. I just looked at the back of the telephone in the hotel

125
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:53,560
room, and it had an RJ45 in it, so I just stole it. Everything was just kind

126
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,200
of working, but not, you know, lagging

127
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:58,480
and dropping frames everywhere. I'm like, "Dude, this was working fine the

128
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:05,000
other day. I don't know what's wrong." And we traced the problem back to the

129
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,440
RJ45, which was a Cat 5 cable because it

130
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,840
was used for a telecom system, and I'm trying to send 10 gig down it.

131
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:18,520
Might have even been defective, too. You can actually have a 100 megabit link

132
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:22,920
even if one of your signaling pairs is damaged. I think the takeaway is is is

133
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:27,480
don't steal cables from telephones in hotel rooms. And stop taking the towels

134
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:31,800
in the gym at Smash Champs. But, steal the pillows. Take their

135
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:35,080
pillow, put it in your pillow shank, and then take your crap pillow, put it in

136
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,026
their pillow shank. By the time they notice, you're long gone. That is not

137
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:43,440
financial advice. No. >> [laughter] >> All right, let's go ahead and fire up

138
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,640
this NAS. I'll put my thirst extinguisher there just in case Joel

139
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:51,160
gets thirsty. I'm okay. Probably the only guy that's ever smoked

140
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:56,120
in here, too. Probably, actually. Smoking also not financial advice.

141
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,400
You know what's kind of crazy is I think this monitor is louder than the system.

142
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,960
Like it has a bit of coil whine. Hey, there we

143
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:07,680
go. This was working the whole time. We just had a bunk monitor. Very nice. I

144
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:12,920
don't know what the password is. I'm going to go with

145
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,640
Type cookie. Deadmau5 is the greatest.

146
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:19,920
I understand what people are trying to do by setting like better default

147
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:23,400
passwords, but also just don't. I might have found something here. On fresh

148
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:34,000
machines, the user is root and the password is 45 big D small R exclamation

149
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:34,702
point v e s. Let's try that. Let's go.

150
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,200
Okay. >> [music] >> 45 drives?

151
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:43,217
Don't do that. We have successfully started using the computer the way that

152
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:49,040
it is completely not intended to be used [music] like a desktop. Give us a few

153
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:51,360
while we log in. Simple setup. We just

154
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:56,040
had to get to this point. Okay, best practice storage architecture. We're

155
00:10:53,200 --> 00:11:00,360
going to set up ZFS for robust storage, Samba for network sharing, and we're

156
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:05,200
going to configure our client backups automatically. That's right. 45 drives

157
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:08,680
knows that you're going to be a lazy son of a [ __ ] They're going to make sure

158
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:13,480
that you run backups on the regular so that [music] it's both on your computer,

159
00:11:10,839 --> 00:11:17,839
you dumb son of a [ __ ] and also on your NAS like a smart son of a [ __ ]

160
00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:20,400
All right, server name. Deadmau5 is great.

161
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,800
He made me do that. Is it going to go Deadmau5 is neat? Is neat?

162
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:30,120
Neat. >> what? Your place was pretty tidy. Yeah, I'll give that to you. Okay, password.

163
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:34,640
45 big D R exclamation point v e s. That's an

164
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,600
intuitive password that other people would think of. Don't forget the big D.

165
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:43,560
Ooh, network folder name. Linus stuff. Based on the quantity of storage drives

166
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:48,160
you installed in the server, we will set up the storage array with a balance of

167
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:52,560
capacity, performance, and redundancy. Very nice. So, we've got our 8 TB

168
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:57,839
drives. We can see those. And then we've got a different kind of drive that is

169
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,880
also eight-ish terabytes, but not quite

170
00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:06,000
as many. Storage will tolerate two disk failures and gives you 41 kibibytes

171
00:12:02,839 --> 00:12:10,120
usable. So, it is setting up an array

172
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,360
with all of my drives, but when you set

173
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:16,560
up mismatch capacity drives in a single array, you are going to be limited to

174
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,400
the capacity of the lowest capacity drives in the array. Two disk

175
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:23,880
redundancy, RAID Z2. [music] That's a pretty solid recommendation for eight

176
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:29,360
drives. Actually pretty impressed. Complete setup.

177
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,360
Now we give it a minute. Still quiet?

178
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:35,240
Silent even. I'm I'm genuinely pretty impressed at the fact that they not only

179
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:41,000
don't have any fans in it cuz [music] that's pretty obvious, but it doesn't have any coil whine. Like even that

180
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:46,480
crazy computer we had, the like space age Calios, uh no moving parts, it still

181
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:51,520
made noise because you could actually hear the the fluid in it boiling. If you

182
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:55,240
struggle to hear anything with your head literally pressed up to it, then I think

183
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,160
that that passes the bar for quiet.

184
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:02,760
>> I might just not have very good hearing though. Remember when you like flipped

185
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:07,320
out cuz I turned your speakers up too loud and you're like, "Dude, you're going to like >> Oh god. It still keeps me awake at

186
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,800
night. No, it never made it into the video, but nicest sound system I've ever

187
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:16,240
heard. I'm going to turn it up." HE GOES, "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. This is all so

188
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:19,720
finely tuned that you have no idea how loud what you're listening to is,

189
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:24,320
brother. I use my ears for a living." I'm like, "Oh, sorry." What's 130 dB

190
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:27,839
between friends? Yeah. All right, configuring ZFS storage. Here we go. All

191
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,200
right, how long does this thing want to do this? It'd be nice if it gave us some

192
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:35,320
kind of ETA. We didn't Is it like low-level formatting everything? Uh

193
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:40,680
pretty much, yeah. To be clear, it's, you know, doing it pretty fast, but it's

194
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:44,440
not that fast. It's SATA. Cuz if we were to go NVMe, all of a

195
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:49,480
sudden we're going to need like a bigger motherboard, more expensive PCIe cabling

196
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:54,000
everywhere. I can understand why they did it this way, especially because if

197
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,640
they're targeting like audio creators,

198
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:00,000
video creators, you don't need higher than like, you know,

199
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:03,160
2 GB a second. And you're only going to do this initial setup, assuming

200
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:07,400
everything goes according to plan, one time. This is Man, this is taking a hot

201
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:14,280
minute here. And I think just because we went and we put 45 TB of storage in it.

202
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:19,160
>> Oh, yeah. That'll do it. Sweet time. Oh, boy.

203
00:14:15,959 --> 00:14:21,480
4 days later. Yeah, that never

204
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:25,680
completed. So, we had to work with 45 drives support, reinstall our ZFS

205
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:31,800
package, something something. The point is now it works. We can create a backup

206
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:34,400
schedule. Ooh, simple or custom?

207
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:38,959
Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly. Okay, we can set a location. We don't have any

208
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,880
locations yet. Okay, full disclosure. Okay, I am invested in a NAS software

209
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:47,640
company to make setting up your own NAS like simpler. I am not trying to make

210
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,720
this look hard. You guys are watching everything that I'm doing. Wired

211
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,920
settings. Here is my IP.

212
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,760
How the hell do I access the web UI? Has anyone done this or did we just get it

213
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:04,000
to the point where we fixed what we knew was broken? That's as far as I'm allowed

214
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:08,880
to say. I'll try HTTPS. In fairness, this is a

215
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,800
brand new product that they are evidently still working on the software

216
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:17,640
for. Okay. Add server.

217
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,640
Okay, there. It's there now.

218
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,680
Permission denied. Okay, well, no, that's a good sign. I swear I'm not

219
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,760
trying to make this look difficult, man. Did that work? Can I

220
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:29,480
I think I might have just reformatted it. It shouldn't have reformatted yet

221
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:34,040
because it does that later in the process. No, no, not the storage drives.

222
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:37,839
The boot drive. I think I just >> [snorts] >> Yeah, I think I just factory reset it.

223
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,800
So, this is not a setup for your 45 drives studio.

224
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:47,120
Hey, you now have a network attached server that you can start using

225
00:15:45,079 --> 00:15:51,280
immediately. Houston command center. Okay, the

226
00:15:48,839 --> 00:15:55,880
Oh, we have to put the port. Username. Let's go. We have hacked the mainframe.

227
00:15:54,079 --> 00:15:59,959
Limited access mode. Yeah, no, I'm an administrator. Linus is not that the

228
00:15:57,959 --> 00:16:02,959
incident will be reported. What

229
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:07,800
Oh my god. Again. I am not trying to make this look hard.

230
00:16:05,959 --> 00:16:13,079
I'm just I'm cursed when it comes to Linux. Uh anyway, storage. We can see

231
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:18,360
our array here. Current activity. Very cool. Okay, yeah. Any volumes that are

232
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:24,360
on each of our physical devices. Pretty nice, concise little storage

233
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:27,400
summary. System usage. Ooh. Okay, I love

234
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:29,716
buttons in user interfaces

235
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:33,640
that exist only so that it can tell you >> [music] >> that you can't do that and doesn't take

236
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:38,000
you to any kind of help file and it doesn't take you to like menu where you

237
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:41,839
can configure so you are permitted to do that. Text is not underlined in an

238
00:16:39,959 --> 00:16:45,400
interface unless it's button. [music] Hyperlink rules literally been around

239
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:50,000
since the '90s. Sorry, I'm trying not to like rant here. I'm just a little

240
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:55,880
frustrated by this experience so far. We should just access it [music] because

241
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:59,040
that is 99% of what most people are going to do with a machine like this.

242
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:03,040
They're just going to access it. So, go like that, go [music] like that. Here's

243
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,741
the video. Boom. No, I'm going to have to go to the

244
00:17:04,439 --> 00:17:13,720
actual share. >> [music] >> Uh okay, let's try Linus 2. Nope. Okay.

245
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:15,959
Let's try just actually going into and

246
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:19,800
finding out where the stupid folder is.

247
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:24,679
File sharing. Failed to initialize the registry. Samba

248
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:28,280
smb.conf run test parm [music] to debug.

249
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:35,960
This is not the best out of box experience I've ever had. 45 drives,

250
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:41,240
love you guys dearly. We can't just like completely ignore that this just didn't

251
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:44,480
work. Hold on, there's still maybe something. Click plus to add a share.

252
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:50,760
All right, let's do that. Unique name for your share. Linus 2 share.

253
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:54,080
[ __ ] I don't know. You tell me. Linus

254
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,880
2. Path not absolute. I don't even know

255
00:17:54,080 --> 00:18:00,817
what the root directory you're putting it in is. You just assume I'm a Linux

256
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,817
wizard. Okay, navigator [music]

257
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:14,840
then. Okay, here we go. This is just giving me the whole ass directory for

258
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:17,440
Rocky Linux. Where is my array? File

259
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:23,040
systems. Here we Boom. {slash} tank {slash} Linus 2. Guest okay. No problem.

260
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:26,440
Per file snapshots. Oh, yeah, that's cool. Optimize share for macOS. No,

261
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,280
don't need that, but it's nice that it's an option. Error in add share. Failed to

262
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:34,600
initialize the registry. Not going to lie, a little frustrated at this point.

263
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:37,520
To be clear, I and the team here could absolutely fight our way through these

264
00:18:36,159 --> 00:18:40,840
problems. We could get on the phone with 45 drives. We could go consult some

265
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:45,840
documentation. We could figure it out. But that's not

266
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:50,919
really who this product is intended for. So, I would like to see 45 drives have

267
00:18:48,919 --> 00:18:54,159
this software experience cleaned up, made a little bit more reliable, made a

268
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:57,360
little bit more intuitive before they go shipping this to

269
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:03,040
a video editor, like, you know, content creator, a musician, someone whose

270
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:09,720
life is not about, you know, playing around with war {underscore} access

271
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:11,320
{underscore} denied smb.conf run test

272
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:15,480
parm to debug. That's not their life. That's not their world. They don't want to deal with that. So, I think there's a

273
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:20,040
little bit of work to be done. The hardware looks good and the bones of the

274
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:23,880
software look good. Just needs a little more polish on the bones, you

275
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:29,040
know? Polished bones. Super cool product, man. Not a cheap product. I

276
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:33,040
think it's about 3,500 bucks for the system itself and then you obviously

277
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:37,800
have to add your drives to it. But if what you're after is something that is

278
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:42,640
dead silent, can be high capacity, has no moving parts, therefore can be

279
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,520
transported, taken with you on the road,

280
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:48,800
I can absolutely see the appeal. Yeah, I I I think it hits a good middle between,

281
00:19:46,679 --> 00:19:51,520
you know, the prosumer and, you know, the full-time creator.

282
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:56,640
>> Like that's the thing. It's all about context, right? Like this is expensive,

283
00:19:54,160 --> 00:20:00,560
but it's not outlandish. You get what you pay for, you know?

284
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:04,240
Kind of applies to [music] Thanks for coming on to check this out.

285
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:09,440
