What a team of legends!!! Total game changer for us. I will repay this debt by whatever the top rated comment below this is.
Finally one of my top 10 youtubers getting a proper NAS.
you're awesome!!!!
a huge teddy bear but the belly part is just linus's face so I can finally...
I really enjoy your videos!
Crunchlabs Build Boxes for Linus's kids :)
It's amazing how much storage has changed since around 2008. I worked in a data-center back then and the thought of having all this storage transferring so fast was straight up science fiction. I still work with a bunch of OLD tech still running Server03 and wish I could play around with all this new stuff.
I hope you will get a chance to get yourself a pc like that. You seem cool, all the luck😊
Linus being tech support for other youtubes is probably some of my favorite content.
Mark and Linus are literally just two dads conversing 😂
my exact thought watching it
Mark rover is a NASA climate alarmist Democrat. How dare you support him. He deserves jail
@@chimney4yes. Linus has three. Mark has one. I have two lol.
@@M4rio21literally nobody cares how many kids you have.
@@spammerscammerand we dont care that u reply
Mark using external hard drives and Dropbox as storage solutions is the most engineering thing I've ever heard
"You don't need a Ferrari to drive to the grocery store" was also a peak engineer analogy
In a Tupperware enclosure! 🤣
LMFAO I was thinking that too when they mentioned it
@@FectacularSpail highest strength level for protection per dollar
The most BAD engineering thing.
I absolutely love how supportive you guys are of each other! ❤
That kind of ethos is why I spend my time watching RUclips now and don’t send much time on Facebook or Twitter anymore.
Me too man the toxic atmosphere of social media is heartbreaking but I've found even when there's a misunderstanding on YT a simple "my bad" and explanation of meaning most of the time people are cool of course like everything there's always bad apples
I have set up a DIY NAS 5 Years ago in my office besides many power failures due to no UPS it still works great. Kudos to NAS team for freely available this legendary software to the world.
The video tags include "mark rober has too much money" LOL
How do you see the tags?
💀💀💀
@@Proprogrammer001 they probably used the Social blade extension
not if he was using dropbox
@@Proprogrammer001Desktop website has them just under the video player.
Can you pretty please build us a computer too, Linus? 🙏
I can only imagine the processing power it takes to make black midi
Piano Tiles RTX On 😂
half piano half pc would be awesome
Instead of a keyboard use the piano keys, and put the pc inside.
Use a (piano) keyboard as the case and don’t hold back on the RGB
I can genuinely see the relief in his expressions during the video, I can't imagine how stressful it must be anytime you consider that all your hard work over years is essecially stored on some external hd drives, must be such a weight of his shoulders haha.
Such an intelligent duo. Both great channels, thank you guys for all the amazing videos.
It’s so nice to see Linus and his husband working together to help small creators like Mark.
HAHAHAHA
I thought that was his wife's boyfriend
Marko has more subs than Linux; a simple Google search and you would have known that.
@@wooshbait36 Linux is also called Linus, and Marko is called Mark. A simple Google search and you would have known that
@@Abel_DG read his username, you just got got
It surprises me that Mark hadn't built a PC before this, he built a rover on Mars before a computer, and he's definitley technically qualified to do that lol
I’m sure he has but speccing this one would be better to outsource to someone with more specialism like linus so that mark can focus on his own vids
A lot of times people just aren't interested in the process, it's just not their interest.
@@IIGraViteIIYeah, makes sense. His videos take a crap ton of time to formulate, on top of having a company and a family to raise
You'd be surprised. I work in IT and I've met programmers who simply don't want to deal with the hardware or software side of things. One of them has never built or fixed computers before. There are some folks who are super smart and creative when designing complex stuff, but don't want to deal with the lifeblood of their work (computers).
In Mark's case, I imagine he didn't want to tackle this himself because he doesn't want to make costly mistakes that hinder his teams productivity.
@@IIGraViteIII read socialism at first lol 😅
The chemistry between Mark and Linus is terrific, two genius creatives that get each other, we need more of them together on a project.
Really? I thought the interaction felt seriously awkward.
How is Linus remotely as genius or creative 😅
@@australianpanda2713 Linus created a RUclips channel with millions of viewers where the craziness comes to play with PC gear. Tech/entrepreneur genius that finds creative way to keep it fun.
@@tobycatVAthat doesn't make him a genius. Apparently for you the standard for genius is really low.
We just like it because we are being tech geeks. This is about the most boring thing imaginable for someone who isn't. In fact I have dipped back in to learn enough to make a buying decision, then I'll not watch another second of this content for another 5- 10 years.
This was fun for me to watch - I just stood up my own TrueNAS Scale install and finally upgraded to ZFS from just a Windows machine. Level1Techs and LTT really had some good videos to give me the nudge I needed to get off my butt and learn this stuff. My setup is much more modest: 64GB Non-ECC DDR4 (32GB x 2), 12 x 2TB SATA SSD, LSI 9220 8i HBA in IT Mode, i5-12500T. I am also in the middle of setting up a full 3-2-1 backup solution using HDD. Storage prices have really dropped tremendously, and for the home user with less than 100TB in storage needs there's a ton of affordable options to do it yourself nowadays. Cheers, team!
It's so nice seeing LTT helping some random small channels with hardware solutions...
"small" lol
@@helicopter234 you didn't get the joke
@@mattyfupepper what’s your point?
@@mattyfupepperoh wow you are fun at parties
yeah... Mark isn't that big of a youtuber. This was charity.
Mark Rober seems like a pretty smart guy. He should try getting a job at NASA!
Say, it's a surpise he hasn't worked there before...
Yeah! I’ll bet he could build the next Mars rover!
He worked at JPL which is a PART of NASA, in 2004, a simple search of Wikipedia page and you would have known.
@@quantumleaper There's the guy we've been waiting for lol
Mark Rover
I just LOVE content like this!!! Clever choice in hardware parts. Great deal on that EPYC cpu!
Helping fellow youtubers out, a most wholesome and welcome endeavour you lads n lasses do at LTT! Mark is gonna love it.
Adding a small fan to an HBA is not as optional as one might assume. I was getting random parity errors in unraid until I added a small fan to the heatsink on the HBA. The disks checked out fine but kept getting errors, sometimes more, sometimes less. And now after adding the fan its fine. Similar to Gen5 M.2 controllers, sometimes heat just makes for errors even tho it still "works". Obviously case airflow will play a role as well.
Mark’s productivity will increase so much that he’ll be able 2 videos a year.
Trash ♻️ English
He actually has been making more videos this year
+100%
Let's goooo!!!! Again!!!!? 😂😂😂😂😂
More colabs with people like Mark Rober please :) I just love these
It's awesome having the receiving creator jump on the video call at the end. Adds that extra value of actually talking with the client about the system you built rather than just the theory (though don't get me wrong I still love the theory!). Also Mark Rober is just a champ and you three have good on-camera energy 😄
I have watched a ton of these, and finally this one is EXACTLY what I needed explored - a maximalist one-box NAS. Thank you. I will note that for those who aren't in this price bracket but need hundreds of terabytes, you can get a used 16-port HBA, the Adaptec 71605, for $40 plus a $10 aftermarket blower plus $50 in cables. And that you can get 18tb factory reconditioned drives from serverpartsdeals for $180.
Considering I just bought new 18TB reds with 5 year warranty for $240 USD / $319 CAD. That "deal" is not worth it.
Solid plan.
Pick up 2 more spares than you think you need for those reconditioned drives. So if you're picking up 8 drives, my general guideline is 1 spare per 4 drives (Linus did 1 per 3 but I find that's overkill for home nas solutions) get 4 as spares (make sure you test all of them). I've used said reconditioned drives before and they seem to have more issues than new drives, so just eat the cost and get some spares. Also, make sure for the love of god you have fresh air blowing over those drives. Heat kills these things. I was a little surprised linus didn't populate the entire front of the case with fans. Maybe it's cold enough where that's unnecessary? I don't know. You want to keep them below 40c. 10-35c is ideal. I know the spec says 50c but that's too much to operate at 24/7. They degrade at significantly faster speeds above 40c.
Used drives are "fine" as long as you're ok with that level of risk tolerance... or buy so many that a few lemons (and the time lost rebuilding the array) will be an inconvenience at worst
I ain't reading allat lil'bro but good luck 🙏
@@LiveType...given that in places like central-eastern europe where I live temps can get up to 30°C to 35°C in the summer these days, and that a good chunk of the US can be worse than that, that sounds like a really tall order unless you can put the setup in a very tightly air conditioned room and out of the light entirely... I'm not saying you're wrong, you're probably right, but... I think the 50°C rating is just a more realistic take here lol, otherwise people would think normal living spaces quite likely too hot.
I always love to imagine that Linus has a suitcase somewhere with big red buttons representing every content creator he does a build for, and if they ever do anything extremely bad he has a built in self destruct feature that will just nuke the system.
Now, did that happen to pewdiepies' pc? What did Felix do to get on Linus bad side 🤔
Björn
@@klaudijus3897From what I remember pewdiepie's PC got destroyed from shipping right?
Wonder why weaponsmanufacurers dont do this. Sell Saudi Arrabia all the Leopard 2s, Eurofighters etc they want. But if they go full ISIS just brick them.
(They kind of do. The export specs are always inferiour to the stuff we keep for our own army)
@@emergcon if they really did do that, how would we know? wouldn't they want to keep that a secret?
I like how Linus and his crew hit one out of the park for Mark and his team!
I built our company off-site storage a few years ago according to older video based on Ryzen 5, and it's been working flawlesly since then. Running Windows 10 and Storage spaces now at 140TB raw capacity.
9:55 Wow! That screwdriver has an awesome price.
Hell yes! Finally LTT mentions tailscale... If only they did a deep dive into it. Such an awesome way to do remote management
I remember it being a major component in their Netflix password crackdown workaround video (using it for sending traffic through the main subscriber's house)
@@benjaminmiddaugh2729 I must have missed that part
They mentioned it at 0:37 and then never went into the setup of it, just the name of the service.
Absolutely love tailscale!!
The moment they said about syncing without port forwarding I thought tailscale.
It's been a game changer for me because it means I can run a Minecraft server on student accommodation internet which I can't port forward on.
This video is truly enlightening! Thank you for sharing.
There's an (old) alternative for the case: The Coolermaster Stacker STC-T01. A while back I started gathering used parts for a similar project, all that's left is hard drives (waiting for a good deal). I put 5 HDD-modules in the STC-T01 that total in 16 3.5" and 6 2.5" hot swap bays, divided over 11 5.25" bays :)
The added bonus of having everything organized and easy to work with is that once you've done it, it becomes way easier to keep it that way.
I really love how you purchased used CPU's. I find people are so worrisome about buying second hand hardware, but theres a lot of deals to be had, and a lot of stuff that really would struggle to be a bad purchase unless it was overpriced.
People like me are just scared to get things that dont last long, are dustu, are not clean, have a backdoor installed, just name the craziest things but some are real concerns i got scammed 8 times for 3060/2060 gpus for a pretty good used price of around 250-300, in my country a new 3060 is 400+. I got all from different sellers of different countries that told they cared for them realy well and i also checked them and they were, no dust not realy any scratches nor damaged pcbs but they all died after a week of really light gaming, unity games (used them because i already felt not comfortable to run heavy games on them and instead went for unity games that were light on gpus and could even run on intel hd graphics) i also did not even overclock them. I tried contacting the sellers but they all did not respond or some responded but blamed me.
Up until last year I only bought used parts for my PC. Never had a problem and more than one of my old systems are still chugging along at family members houses. Basically bought 2-3 gen older, top end parts for a low price and it all worked well for me, love used parts.
you guys should try using a server chassis with the ears off. Basically a tower case at that point and actually looks decent. I did that for the company i work at and everyone loves how they look cause there not rounded and look sleek as heck. plus it makes it super easy to work on later on.
Jake keep impress me with his knowledge day by day, I’m glad he’s Linus’s right hand, he’ll be big one day.
I'm fairly certain he's already quite a lot bigger than Linus (physically, this is a joke :p)
@@pkennethv lol
He's already big... headed... so be careful, your comment could make his head explode
Could you guys please make a full tutorial series, or lengthy video, with the full installation and configuration procedures, pitfalls, tips for performance, and the setup of extra software like the ones mentioned in this video for syncing and managing, for a setup exactly like this?? Even if Floatplane exclusive (at first?), it would be a HUGE help as reference material for people foraging into trying this by themselves, like me, and such a needed supplement to the forum digging one does have to do. ❤
LTT: It needs to be highly reliable.
LTT: Also zip ties a fan to the card
nothing is more reliable than zip-ties my friend
How about buying a properly designed server by one of the major oems.
Not to mention, no hotswap bays...
Not to mention, no redudant power supplies.
Not to mention, no hotspares for his disk arrays
@@hiddeninthewires2308 Usecase said proper, rackmount storage servers aren't ideal (one literally in his bedroom, while the other one at the office), redundant PSUs as per the video are noisy af (see prior), and i'm guessing they went more for "future expansion" vs "fill er up right now"
Going "proper" would prob cost them way more (redundant power lines either at home / office, dedicated server room with proper cooling, A RACK, etc). So, yeah, it would be ideal to get a 4U storinator, fill er up with 30+ drives (including spares)... but that's probably overkill idk
Exactly man that made it more reliable... Otherwise it would have gotten very little air over its heatsink.
They said the magic words.
It ain't going nowhere.
Love the use of tailscale. Would be nice to get a demo of using it though.
A collab we always wanted and did not know we needed!
The meeting of tech minds!
I love your videos. Not only do you give Mark an amazing piece of electronic you are giving reasons to why he needs these things. Keep it up Linus!
I love the server build...but, I'm also slightly disappointed that there wasn't any detailed talk about how the Synchronization Between Remote Servers was set up. I was really looking forward to learning about how that was configured.
my guess is snapshot syncing over ssh ...
@@KifKroker I mean they explicitly noted some magic that does not need any port forwarding or DNS.... soooo
@@DooMMasteR its using tailscale
@@FaisalCyber that would be the upper player then, but tailscale alone only manages the "VPN" between the 2 peers, there must be more to sync the FSes...
@@DooMMasteR yeah sure, but i just responded to the lack of port forwarding or ddns configuration needed.
Bro, I just built a NAS with 20TB. I was so proud of how much space it has, and then you release this.
Having worked in a lot of workstation, server shops, I can definitely say adding the fan to the LSI / Broadcom HBA is a good call. They can definitely be ill served in a warm environment and burn out with just the stock passive coolers. Also most of them are really only spec'd to work in rack mount units that are okay with faster, noisier fans.
Very much agree with the RAID config - RAIDZ2 split right down the middle. Has a bit of room to upgrade, thought with just 16 drives max, they can't really upgrade with another 6-wide vdev. Probably need to rely on the back up system then change our the config to like 2 x 8 wide RAIDZ2 and ZFS transfer all the data back then upgrade the next system or something - possibly spin-up an S3 object back before all that is being done - like with Backblaze, etc.
Agree, nonetheless as going to 3 x 4-wide probably would hurt more just to save an equal amount of capacity in the future. Otherwise, it may just make more sense to ditch the current chassis to something larger if they ever need it.
Also, TrueNAS Core should have worked fine, unsure why SCALE was used - Linux is awesome, Core is the more tested platform, and unless they need Docker or KVM VMs, it would work fine.
The case has room for 18 drives so a third 6wide vdev fits just fine.
But the stupid thing is using a 16i hba in the build and only using 4ports of that and connecting 8 drives to the motherboard.
I totaly agree with you on the truenas scale choice. But core is sometimes not good with bleeding edge systems and thats what LTT uses mostly. Probably the thats why they using scale because its what they used to.
I love all the server content you guys do.
Been an advert lurker for years of your content Linus, THIS was one of the best. Build real world high-class configs and you'll have my attention forever. Absolute excellence, I bow to you (and your team)
I was in the process of sourcing a case for my Plex server when the 7 XL was released and got one as soon as it was in stock. My general config is much the same, though I’m only at 8 HDDs atm (room to grow!)
Using the rubber grommets on the drive trays is absolutely a must. I forgot to put them on one hdd and it drove me crazy.
The box is so heavy, I eventually printed out some caster mounts for it and it made the occasional movement of the box so much easier.
That is an insane build.
Just the motherboard on the build in this video is almost as much as my entire initial build was. The case is a good value though - I went with a Rosewill rack mount style case that could hold 15 drives - if a case like this had been around I'd have likely used it.
I built my FreeNAS (now rebranded to TrueNAS) in 2013 for $1,726 CAD with 6 HDDs - then upgraded it in 2016 with more ram, upgraded PSU, an HBA & 6 more drives for $1,572 - it's now been running for 10 years (in 2020 I also replaced the initial 6 drives with larger 8TB drives one at a time to increase the pool size - only took 3-4 days).
I love how Linus went from building a pc for his daughter to building for huge RUclipsrs like Mark Rober and xQc.

I was thinking of eventually picking up a screwdriver and the Noctua looks great.
"Oh hi Mark"
The collaboration that I never would have anticipated, but is massively welcomed
I have the Fractal Define R7 XL case and it works great for this use case. Word to the wise, get lots of fans. With three 140mm fans and one 120mm fan on the front pulling air in over the drives and three 140mm exhaust fans on the top and back, most of my drives were getting up to 50°C. I added two 140mm and one 120mm fans on the other side of the hard drives and temps dropped down to around 30°C, but the two drives closest to the PSU get pretty hot still since there isn't a lot of airflow down there. My system has 16 5400-7200RPM drives installed, the speed doesn't seem to make a difference on the temps much in this configuration. Opening the front panel up can result in a 2-5°C temp difference on the drives with all these fans, even more so with fewer fans.
I like this longer format videos of collaborations.
$0.00 for the Noctua screwdriver, now that's a bargain!
Tailscale is such an awesome piece of software. It makes remote management of servers so easy.
Learned about it recently and LOVE it, have it installed on all my PCs including my UnRaid server (as an exit server) to let me connect to network from anywhere.
Use it to connect to Jellyfin remotely, lol. Love it.
I only whish I could reach him or his tam to start a super cool cooling project together ... Soooo much respect for all your inputs and efforts and super high quality at all times :)
Awesome video Linus.... watched it all the way through and didn't understand a word of it :D

Love how Linus is shouting out small creators! Keep it up!
I just really like it when you do server videos. I always comment to encourage more. And also by the way I can't believe he hasn't found a solution this far into his career. Like all my footage is on external hard drives and SSDs internal external all over the by freaking room. But I've only been added for like a year and a half or something. Storage is a serious problem. I remember my dad seen my problem.... And saying how he thought they had fixed that problem and that drives were way bigger now. I was like yeah it's fixed for a lot of people word documents JPEGs and maybe some PMGs few games or whatever. Like it's fixed for him for sure but this MacBook is 250 gig storage. Lol. Anyways encourage encourage love to see it and as far as big channels you know this one's my favorite.
Random thing to be impressed by, but in the call at the end, the way they spoke to each other and the camera at the same time was very impressive.

Great build for Mark. I would like to see a small build for a home or small office with multiple computers and maybe with some security cameras.
There was something "back to his roots" about this video for Linus. Like just a techie guy, assembling a computer for someone. Saving the customer a few bucks here and there, and delivering a solid product, without the unnecessary bells and whistles. I realize that was NOT QUITE the reality ("this company gave us or Mark this or that") but it still had that feel.
The crossover we didn't know we needed
Nah we knew this collab should've happened
love the poker face from jake and linus when rober says he still uses dropbox. lol
You drive me insane with all the places you touch on those parts. Like literally insane. Touching that golden contact for the RAM for instance. Was driving my OCD through the roof. Getting your oils and dirty lil grubbing paws all over the contact point.
My Cooler Master HAP has six 6 1/2" drive bays accessible from the side panel, with trays you mount the drives to, but they slide in and have lock down levers and no pesky screws. Then in the front it has six more 6 1/2" bays, that can hold anything with a case, like CD/DVD drives media bays and whatever else they make for them. For storage drives they have trays too, and those slide in and out but and have quick lock/release front panels, and all six can have hot swap panels (came with one that covers 2 drives) mounted to them. That's a total of 12 6 1/2 bays, and with off the shelf 1 X 6 1/2" to 2X 2 1/2" converters it can technically hold 24 drives!🥳
Won't lie this video is very timely as I am literally planning to build out a NAS using TrueNAS, have the drives right now but going to go to Microcenter to grab the rest of the hardware in a couple weeks lol
Ended up using unraid because truenas wouldnt install at 3am and just wanted to be done lmao
I like how Mark was sitting at a (seemingly) wooden desk, but picked up his phone to knock on it. lol
I freaking love this!! I build Pcs with this amount of storage, duel Epyc and Xeon Systems in the Define 7 XL absolute beast of a case!! Also really great for Custom looping!!
I do a bit of video production at my job, but because it’s not our core business we don’t have much infrastructure for it. It’s good to know about these solutions that can be done fairly straightforwardly.
I just built my first pc on my own a little while ago (currently using it, it works!), was nervous as hell, trying my best to not breaks anything. And I damn near spit my coffee out watching Linus drop his GPU clip
Lil'bro, nobody asked about your life story lmao. 😂
Anyone noticed the 00.00$ labeling for the noctua edition LTT screwdriver.
I just did a build in this case and it was a delight to work in
The fact you call all these channels yours when its your team who helped make this channel. Start showing them appreciation
The transition from Linus to Jake was smooth. Nice.

the way you handle sonsers are very good
In August a year ago (2022) I finally decided to build my own computer because I was tired of the old Dell XPS Desktop I had at the time. The Dell XPS 8910 had a Core i5 6400 and a GTX 1050 Ti (originally a GT 730). The XPS was loud, hot, and had hardly any room for upgradability. I didn;t know if I was going to be able to put together my own PC because i had never done it before. Ultimately, from the countless hour of watching LTT videos I was completely able to figure out how to put together my own PC. My original configuration was a MSI Mag B660M Motar motherboard, Intel Core i5 12600 CPU, 500GB boot m.2 SSD, 4TB of Spanned HDDs, 16GB of Corsair vengence RAM, A GTX 1650 Super GPU, A Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240 AIO, all in a NZXT H510 case. As of recently, I took off the two RGB fans from the AIO and the case fans and swaped them for ARGB fans from CoolerMaster, got two more sticks of Corsair RAM for a total of 32GB of RAM, and Upgraded to a RTX 3060 Ti (the company I bout the RTX card from was all out of the 3060 Ti so I got a 3070 for the same price ($100 cheaper than MSRP!)). In the end, your videos helped me a lot and I didn't even relize it until I finally put together my awesome New PC. Thanks a lot Linus for the endless videos that help me continue my love for computers!
Using the Meshify 2 for my server. If you're not at the level to rack mount everything, Fractal has some awesome cases for server duty. But it is a shame that they revised the drive mounting in the newer cases. It was much better in the original R7 and I wish they had kept it the same, but I'm guessing they did it to reduce costs. I like the DAS solution... for backup. Trying to find a 1U rack mount 4 bay right now to ditch my two USB3 external backup.
Dell R230
Hello fellow Meshify 2 server person. I have my Unraid(formerly debian) server in one with a frankly unnecessary(for now) amount of storage.
Meshify is much better. The Define 7 XL runs hot with enterprise hardware
@@sanderdelft I'm thinking more along the lines of the QNAP TL-R400S. The R230 is a bit overkill just for running my backups. Plus it would need to be short depth for my basic rack.
@@jonathanlowe8755 Yeah, I'm only populating five of the bays right now in mine.
I'm imagining Marks stack of external hard drives like how Destins (smarter every day) used to be.
mark rober will forever be a legend. he somehow broke the algorithm with mininal amount of videos the exact opposite what youtube says is better for you to have more.......
wow dude...It's amazing!
Must be cool to know you’re setting up one of the most valuable things to one of the most successful RUclipsrs and King of RUclips ever. Anyone who values backups know how vital they are. Imagine something awful happens where the backup NAS saves the day! (Of course hopefully it doesn’t happen!)
like that one person saving a Pixar movie for example. just because of backing it up. then ending up losing her job regardless of that fact.
King of RUclips? PewDiePie might have a say in that....
This is an amazing pc uf only i had one
Loved seeing your doggo in the video - glad she’s better
Basically buiding an 8-drive version of this exact setup right now and this I missed the part where the drive sleds were not included so my entire build was delayed a few days. We're back on track now and that storage layout took a second to figure out.
I'm expecting linus to announce he's opening a data center one of these days
Linus is the best, even a space engineer can’t what he does 🔥
