  • - Hey guys, this is Austin.

  • And this is the 250 terabyte project.

  • Now this has been one of the biggest things

  • that we've ever undertaken

  • as we literally started working on this last year

  • and we've literally been shooting this video ever since.

  • This entire project was really built around these two units

  • from 45Drives.

  • The original Storinator which we did a couple years ago

  • with Linus, as well as the brand new Stornado

  • which is an all SSD server

  • which allows us for everyone in the office

  • to be connected via 10 Gig Ethernet,

  • to share files, to edit things with tons of space

  • and tons of speed.

  • Building an entire server for the first time

  • has definitely not been a smooth process.

  • So this video actually begins in April

  • when we first got our Stornado.

  • So inside here, we have the Stornado.

  • Now unlike the Storinator which we used

  • for our previous project, this is all SSD flash storage.

  • And 45Drives was awesome enough to hook us up with this

  • for free because we're trying to do something

  • a little bit bigger than what we've done in the past.

  • It's so heavy.

  • (laughing)

  • So inside this Stornado is essentially what will be

  • our new editing server.

  • So right now, we use a series of Samsung T3 and T5 drives

  • to do all of our edits.

  • Now they actually work pretty well

  • and it's nice to have the portability

  • but the problem is that say,

  • Jimmy's working on a project tonight

  • and I wanna take over,

  • he has to eject the drive and hand it to me.

  • We basically have no redundancy if a drive fails

  • or if someone loses something.

  • Whereas with this,

  • everyone will be connected via 10 Gig Ethernet

  • and theoretically, we can all work on the same project

  • at the same time.

  • I wanna get this thing open.

  • This is rad.

  • Wait, did they load us up with 64 GB of RAM?

  • 8, 16, 32, wow.

  • Are you for real right now?

  • (laughing)

  • Dude, look how cool this is.

  • They gave us a custom front plate.

  • Did you design this?

  • - Yes.

  • - Oh, you did.

  • Oh, dude. That's gonna be awesome.

  • So we can basically just swap that out?

  • Oh, dude.

  • This is so cool.

  • The next task was actually to get

  • the Stornado up and running with a ton of super fast SSDs

  • which happened in June.

  • So inside here, we have a whole bunch of 800 GB SSDs.

  • So these are the Nytro Series straight from Seagate

  • who were very gracious to provide these

  • for the Stornado project.

  • But essentially, with ...

  • Actually how many drives do we have again?

  • Four,

  • five,

  • six,

  • seven.

  • So the cool part about these SSDs

  • is that they're not just standard drives.

  • So let's actually open one of them up.

  • You'll see that these

  • are SAS based.

  • Now this is not something that you can just, say,

  • throw into an average desktop PC.

  • That makes sense.

  • These are actual, proper enterprise class drives

  • which is important 'cause this server is going to be up

  • for years at a time.

  • We need to make sure that all these drives

  • are as reliable as possible and importantly also,

  • as fast as possible.

  • Especially when you talk about 10, 20, 30 drives

  • in one single system,

  • reliability becomes a huge, huge factor.

  • And the last thing I wanna do is start editing a video

  • and realize that,

  • "Oh.

  • "Right.

  • "I lost my 31st drive

  • "and the entire thing just caught on fire."

  • Which thankfully is not the case here.

  • Also, it'd be weird if the project caught on fire

  • but that would still suck.

  • Now in July, I actually thought that

  • we were pretty much done with this project.

  • The Stornado was up and running

  • and it seemed like we were going to be ready to go.

  • That is surprisingly quiet for an open server.

  • All right, so we are up and running.

  • So right now we have 22.4 terabytes available.

  • Now this is not actually completely set up

  • so the main thing I wanna do right now

  • is just test to see what kind of optimal speeds.

  • We're going to wanna build some redundancy

  • and we're going to wanna make sure that

  • if multiple of these drives fail,

  • Actually, no, what number are we gonna aim for?

  • Probably like two drive failures before we lose anything?

  • Look at that.

  • So we have our two 240 or 250 GB SSDs

  • and then we have all of our 800 GB SSDs.

  • That my friends,

  • Oh look, look. Wait, sorry. Hang on.

  • There's a whole other page.

  • Keep going.

  • That's so many discs.

  • Oh, I love it.

  • All right.

  • I think we're ready to actually start speed testing

  • and see what we're able to get over our 10 Gig network.

  • So again, not totally final.

  • We still need to get our switch involved

  • and kind of run lines to everyone.

  • But this should give us a pretty good idea

  • of what kind of speed we're going to be able to get

  • over the network with all of our SSDs.

  • So to start with, we have a 28 GB file.

  • Now if I just paste it over here.

  • We're getting

  • 4 gigabits a second.

  • Nice. All right, that's pretty fast.

  • So actually, really our bottleneck right now

  • is just purely the SSD that we're using.

  • This is literally just isn't fast enough

  • to saturate the 10 Gigabit network.

  • Oh, oh, I'm excited.

  • All right.

  • So let me actually try to transfer something

  • which is on the internal SSD on the MacBook

  • which should be somewhere in the neighborhood of like,

  • 2 GB per second.

  • Oh, that's fast.

  • That is 8 gigabits per second.

  • Or like, 30 seconds to transfer 25 GB file over the network.

  • Ooh, that's fast.

  • So that is actually,

  • 8 gigabits per second is about 1 gigabyte per second.

  • Yo, that's fast.

  • Oh.

  • Oh, this is good.

  • Fast forward to August

  • and while it seemed like our server build

  • was missing a few critical components.

  • So we actually started to, you know, put that together.

  • So you guys have already seen the Stornado.

  • We also have our original Storinator

  • which will make its way in here.

  • We also have some fun goodies.

  • This is one of my favorites.

  • So this doesn't look like anything particularly cool.

  • However, inside, this houses a Mac Mini.

  • So there's a lot of reasons

  • why we've chosen to go with a Mac Mini.

  • First of all, we actually do need something,

  • especially for our LTO drive that does have Thunderbolt 3.

  • But importantly, the Mac Mini is fairly affordable

  • and it also has a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port,

  • which means that this computer can live in here,

  • live on this shelf.

  • We'll also have a monitor, we'll have a keyboard

  • so you can really easily walk up to the rack,

  • do whatever it is that you need to do configuration wise,

  • although hopefully a lot of that stuff will also be able

  • to be done upstairs on the network

  • but something such as the LTO

  • will need to be run from the Mac Mini.

  • I love the fact that for a power cable up front,

  • it literally hit the button,

  • it just presses the power button

  • on the back of the Mac Mini.

  • That's so cool.

  • So on top of the Storinator,

  • we actually are going to have another Storinator

  • at some point.

  • We have our ...

  • I forgot how heavy this is.

  • We have our Synology NAS

  • with 70 terabytes of additional storage.

  • Dude, this, so heavy.

  • - I thought you were the shredded one.

  • - So all of these different units,

  • the Storinator, the Stornado, the Mac, the LTO drive,

  • all this stuff needs to communicate somehow and primarily,

  • we're using this 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch

  • to run all these things upstairs

  • so everyone upstairs will have 10 Gig Ethernet.

  • Honestly, we're just stealing Linus' setup.

  • - Kind of. Yeah.

  • - I mean. We're stealing Linus' setup.

  • But to be fair, Linus was the one who literally hooked us up

  • with the Storinator in the first place.

  • Like, at the very beginning, it was Linus' fault.

  • So we're just-

  • - Completely his fault.

  • - [Austin] We're just literally just always

  • a couple years behind Linus.

  • So stay tuned.

  • We'll have 80% more ads two years from now.

  • So especially when you're dealing with the server,

  • a UPS is incredibly important.

  • - The big thing that's cool about this though is that

  • in the event of a power outage,

  • there are a couple different banks of outlets in there.

  • So when the power goes out, we can tell it,

  • "Hey, prioritize these devices.

  • "Keep these on even longer.

  • "Shut down this one, this one first."

  • And they can actually send a signal to the Storinator

  • and the Stornado to say,

  • "Hey. I've lost power.

  • "Start your safe shutdown process."

  • So that way, nothing hard crashes.

  • - All right, let's get this stupid thing out.

  • Oh my God. It's so heavy.

  • All right. Coming down.

  • And I am down.

  • So with that, we have our UPS installed.

  • So do you wanna try do the Stornado next?

  • - Sure.

  • - Be very careful not to drop

  • our incredibly fast and expensive Stornado.

  • - That'd be rad.

  • So we're gonna just line it up.

  • Yup, line it up.

  • - Okay, okay.

  • - We're good. We're good.

  • That's fine. That's fine.

  • We're good. Yup.

  • - Hey.

  • - Yup.

  • - It's working. Oh my god. We got it.

  • - Boom.

  • - I mean, some slight tightening.

  • But we have the Stornado in the server rack.

  • - It's earthquake proof.

  • - And now the server is finally done.

  • So it is October and now well, okay, I say done.

  • It's always going to be a work in progress.

  • But it is actually fully functional.

  • We're all using it right now.

  • Now what happens when our storage is full?

  • Or more importantly, what happens when we need more storage

  • that needs to be safely backed up?

  • Well, that's where our LTO drive comes in.

  • You see this empty hole in the rack?

  • Yeah. So LTO is magnetic tape

  • and actually I wanna do a whole video on this at some point

  • but essentially, this is a really cheap

  • and long term backup solution.

  • However, currently our LTO drive is being repaired.

  • So it normally goes right here.

  • This has been an unexpectedly huge project.

  • I did not think when we first start talking about doing this

  • late last year, that it would take anywhere near this long

  • to get everything up and running.

  • But the best part is that it is finally up and running now.

  • So as you can see, this has a lot of room to grow.

  • We have lots of additional space.

  • And realistically, there's a lot more

  • that I wanna do with this.

  • But the most important thing here is that

  • we have a really easily accessible bit of storage

  • for everything we need here in the office.

  • So as we edit videos, we can use the Stornado.

  • As we wanna back them up, we have the Storinator

  • as well as we have our LTO drives.

  • And the cool thing is that there's so many more things

  • we can do in the future

  • that part 2 of this video will come out in

  • 2021.

- Hey guys, this is Austin.
