best video out there! thanks a lot

Quick question. You say that you're upgrading the hdd ( changing , if I understand correctly). How do you migrate the data?

Flot engelsk 😀

Are all of your nodes running behind a single public ip address?

And with can run multiple nodes with the same license?

It is possible to run a node without the full license?

Literally just building my first 2TB node with an old 6th gen I5 PC and a simple network switch for ethernet, very exciting!! Your videos have been super helpful, many thanks!!

Good setup. But, how much time needed to fill up 164TB with storj? I think, possibly never. There is was a huge data deletion at the last month. My node with 12TB space running 22 month and it's filled only at the 8TB for now. I have good internet connection and online up to 99%, good disk speed, but ingress is to low and periodical deletions is too big. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Or node location is no good.

I watched cause of that jazzy looking motherboard, as much as i like that case the money spent on that couldve been spent on a better motherboard, plenty of none server class pc cases that can house loads of Drives, Corsair Obsidian 900D/1000D, Phantek also make server sized cases, good job you dont have Graphic Card usage in mind for Video Editing or Gaming considering you only have 1x 550watt Power Supply, downside to that case only taking 1 PSU, FYI those PCI_E x1 slot SATA adapters come in 4 Port Versions as well, went down the windows route rather than Linux with Proxmox or Truenas kinda wonder what the use case is? and what about RAID? PS you can get x4 NVME PCI-E x16 Slot Cards pretty cheaply if you wanna use that other x16 slot as long as you can bificate the slot into x4x4x4x4 for each nvme drive on the card.

but i need more information from you about this and about earning from it

If you ever redo or refresh this one you can look at Mobo's that can use ECC memory, AsRock boards usually do.

I want to update the card and set the latest firmware. Do you know how to do it?

Did the case designers really not think of how to get the drive cables past the fans?

im wondering if theres someone who think this is not enough 😅

How is your node after a year?

Cable management: "It's not good, but it's a bit!" - heh, at least you made an attempt, and there's visible motherboard down below! Better than most of my builds :D

reliability = ECC ram if pushing that much data through your system with a supported cpu/mobo...

Interesting Build, looking forward to some Performance test results! Thanks!

I can confirm that the SOC of these LSI RAID controllers tend to get really hot. Why they dont put a small fan on them is beyond me. Even with the good airflow in a server case, I still prefer a small fan on them.

2:57 - These "HP" drives look like HGST Helioseal Ultrastar drives (owned by Western Digital, whose name is also on the lower part of the label). This is also confirmed by the model number of e.g. the left drive (WUH721818...), which is completelty fitting the HGST Helioseal drives, except for the first letter, which is W instead of H. U = Ultrastar, H = Helioseal, 72 = 7200 rpm. 18 = raw capacity, 18 = available capacity... I personally am a big fan of these drives. They are very reliable and by many datacenters used.

Ton of garbage. Does hard drives failed so often that I wouldn't trust them with empty folders

How much cost this raspberry pi nas to build?

How is the name of the case?

is storj still profitable compared to chia? how much is 1tb expected to make monthly? i have about 300tb on chia atm and could consider switching

164tb? Rookie numbers

I did a double take when I saw you start Windows.

Could you please write power usage in idle and power usage in tests! You will use Unraid or other solution. Thanks

surprised how quite it is

14:11 I'm curious. Are you running all of them without redundancy/backups? If yes, what's your thought process on that.

Hi, I started off like you, using a single SAS to 4 SATA cables. But ever since I found this adaptor on the chinese taobao site, it was a superb option. Basically, this link im sharing with u is a 12 hdd cage that has a backplane (SAS/SATA), and the backplane, u can simply use a single miniSAS cable to SFF 8047 to ur LSI adaptor. And boom! 1 cable to 12 HDD which reduces the cable mess. There is also a 6 pin port, the seller will provide u with a 4x molex to a single 6 pin port to power all 12 hard drives. I have been using it for months and works like a charm. Will share the link with u if i can

using some of the second nvme as a cache would really help

SATA is a subset of SAS and SAS has a SATA compatibility mode built into it as well. You could set your whole structure for SAS and use SATA where necessary and it would work just fine.

SATA drives are compatible with SAS connections, you can't use SAS on SATA plugs, but you can use SATA on SAS.

SATA drives work with SAS adapters... just get the cable to fit. Note the reverse (SAS drives on SATA ports) don't work

Where did you get the white label Seagates from?

well, grab a 650w sfx psu with a mounting bracket for atx and then you can install a fan on the sas controller.

Nice build, think i would have maybe gone with a slightly bigger psu, 500w for all those drives is going to strain the 12v rail a bit. Btw sas cables can be used on sata drives.

So it's not a 164TB home server...

Finally❤❤❤

Home server... and it stays in the workshop. So... no home server and title should be corrected?

Awesome build - i have also recently bought a Inter-Tech case, and i think the build quality sucks. The metal do bend way to easy - and the fan setup also not make sense. It looks like it supports 4-pin fans, but no manual or logical way to get it working.

Great video! Question: If you can host a node with raspberry pi, why would you build such a big server? Whats the difference? Im new to this Thanks!

23:50. I get Status: 500. Message: InfluxDB returned error: error parsing query: found FROM, expected identifier, string, number, bool at line 1, char 9

Hi, how many cameras were there that year, only the 2 you showed?

how do you like the case?

Hi, I'm also using hivemapper, how can I see how many kilometers I have mapped? in your video you showed how many kilometers you traveled and how many honey you earned. Thanks

Bro pls help how you setup uptimerobot app with storj nodes. Kindly make a video or share any documentation guide link pls

Sorry

Nicely done. Kind of crazy to me, that a 3070Ti would already need to be repasted. But we'll made video regardless.

Bro that cable managment though. I would put in a semi-modular PSU and wire ties..
