    As a video production company, we needed to find a better way to store, archive, and edit our footage across multiple machines. Since we're unable to shell out more than $40,000 on a LumaForge Jellyfish, we decided to build our own instead using old enterprise PC hardware. The end result? A 336TB server (that's 1/3 of a petabyte!) for less than $15,000 total-and most of that was the cost of the hard drives! It's crazy fast, we can communicate over 10 GbE, and edit directly from the server!

      @@sammyswanksmith4807 It's actually astonishing how much money Seagate wastes gifting drives instead of improving the quality of their products. I've literally never seen a single sponsorship by WD in an entire decade that I've been lurking on YT, and the reason I think about this is pretty simple: they are the best rock solid brand in the industry for HDD, so why would they need to spend money to sponsor a project? What else could you go with if you need a reliable storage? Top lineup uses HGST helium drives, which still is WD. I may have trusted my old Maxtor with PETA interface, but I don't have as much faith in Seagate, and you shouldn't have too if you periodically check Backblaze HDD reliability stats.

      meliohe! A budget is a set amount of money that doesn’t mean necessarily cheap. The server even if the drives are $12,000 and the server being $2,600 is still cheaper than a lumaforge, which is $40,000. This isn’t for the everyday consumer this is something that meets his needs. NAS is a great budget option for lower spec requirements.

    • @Tential1
      @Tential1 3 года назад

      If you really needed to do this on a budget he wouldn't have needed to be sponsored and get a walk through. I did this on a budget and it cost me a couple thousand dollars. It's amusing to see that all these RUclipsrs created a server around the same time and clearly never thought about backing up their own data until a sponsorship arrived. You think considering it's their job that they would care about their own content that they've created.
      To do this you need to take apart external hard drive, "shucking", and build cheap Nas, utilizing the sc846 chassis that you can usually pick up for 2 to $400 off eBay with some parts included(I tossed almost everything). You don't need server grade Hardware, but I find running Intel is easier and your chassis already comes with server grade Hardware so you might as well utilize it. I'll upgrade to ryzen when I can tho for power efficiency

      Realistically he would have up to 10 or 15 minutes with the UPS at full load. Meaning you would have to be pulling 1500w with a pf of 1 to achieve even the minimum runtime for the UPS. That is also assuming your batteries arent old and nearly dead which could give you a runtime of 1 minute

      Nah he's using ZFS no UPS needed. Especially with only two users. Copy On Write is freaking amazing. I have a zpool that is 8 years old. It has survived many power outages. A bad drive. Even a bad SATA cable that would randomly disconnect a drive sometimes mid use (that one was annoying to figure out). Every time I’ve ever had a problem ZFS has had my back. Resilverd and ready to go.
      I even dd a /dev/zero over one of the drives once. I know I’m a dummy. Was trying to erase a thumb drive. Ran a scrub and everything repaired no problems.

      Snazzy Labs You should probably drop the ‘our friends over at .... hooked us up with...’ remarks and just straight up state that ‘.... gave us x thousand bucks worth of kit for free to advertise for them’ because any implication this is a “budget” build is just demolished by this gifting and a non-RUclipsr is never going to benefit from such a gift.
      The server hardware is old and worthless unless rammed with storage which can’t be found for ‘cheap’ and comes with no maintenance contract?! So your advice that this is good solid kit, whilst true, could lead a small business down a very expensive path of data loss because of busted old hardware in a fairly short time. Bad advice.
      Last point, which really exposes your non-professional IT credentials, Proliant is pronounced ‘pro-lie-ant’ because why wouldn’t it be? ‘Pro’ because ‘for pro’s’ and it overall there’s a ‘rely’ in there to hint at reliability. So yeah, hope that’s helpful when you’re on the phone ordering replacement parts and the rep asks you to repeat the name of the server type.

    This is just the IT guy way of recycling old company stuff or taking them home. A lot of IT guys get this stuff for free. You see the hardware is cheap because of enterprise planned obsolesce. After 5 years these companies tell your IT boss they will stop supporting this hardware because you know Intel is making a different socket or chipset. Yet Intel has been selling the same Core i7 chip for almost 12 years with very slow change in fab tech until AMD disrupted that 2 years ago.
    The cons to running these enterprise stuff is they are heavy, run loud, and eat a lot of power. I looked at my utility bill, it's not worth it. Basically each month I maybe adding another $25-40 for energy bill just to run a few enterprise hardware. Sure they are darn cheap since many SAS 15k rpm drives are like dirt cheap vs 7.2k consumer drives.
    So there's no savings here once you factor the cost of running the setups over a few months the savings are evaporated by the cost of energy these things use.
