- 50% of the reason I made this video is so that I had more storage for Phantom footage. The other 50% is so you'd all stop telling me I had to make a video with Linus. I did it, alright!? It's done!

Was a total blast working on this together... which is good because I guess we need to build another one... NOW
New petabyte project.
We ran out of storage again, so we have to temporarily add these 512tb SSDs for more space.
Next video can explain how he backs it all up. He does backups right?!
At this rate, Gavin's going to need a server room.
Linus Tech Tips PETABYTE
"So, you'll have 130TB of storage, that'll last you, what, a few years?"
"Ummmm, end of summer"
"oh, my, God"
Linus needs to give some further tips on RAW video versus intermediate (archival) codecs versus delivery codecs.
What's funny is that he uses way more than that himself so its shouldn't have even been a surprise
Steve Thea thank you very cool
@Brian Egendorf I mean. It's whatever the sponsors will send over. If it was up to him he'd be rocking an exobyte in his server and giving out petabytes.
@Brian Egendorf Well keep in mind the method of storing the data can affect how much data is used. You can substantially decrease the amount of data required with no noticeable loss of quality or usability. Storing data for archival properly can do this.
linus: *tips the case over slamming it onto the table*
also linus: "looks like the courier kicked this"
I cant like this comment, it would be a shame
Then Gavin "That's not the way I would have done it"
Then Linus "Me either. Usually I drop it completely"
@@RipleySawzen WHERE I CAN GET GAVS COOL SPACEX SHIRT 8:44 ???
It's Linus, what do you expect?
The dent was on the opposite side of the drop.
i've literally never seen Linus say "I don't know" up until this video.
I'm shook.
That astounded me. Almost as shock-inducing as *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*
He has said it before... There are a few videos where he's mad or where they look at bizarre/enterprise tech.
He just don’t want to think about it that late of a night.
The magic of Gavin's question asking at work.
I bet he actually just didn't feel like explaining it.
Huge amount of tech being set up for Gavin.
Gavin - "Whoa, big ant!"
Your comment made me laugh harder then when it happened in the video. LMAO
Gotta entertain yourself while he’s setting it up.
That ant he found is a queen, shes going around looking for some soft moist dirt or wood that she can make her nest in and start a colony. The footage isnt that great but my guess is that its from the Camponotus genus
That made me laugh, just because it's a really small ant. We have things called "inch ants", named for their approximate length.
@@Jaybiiird AntsCanada? Also to be fair, it was a massive ant.
Linus: our red cameras take up a lot of storage
Gav: hold my frames
Actually, LTT made a video a few months ago about how they have completely filled up their petabyte (1000 Terabyte) server.
@@Steamrick Yea I remember watching them struggle with that lol. But per second the phantom is still hogging more storage. plus LTT putting out a lot more videos of course
Yeah, per second it's pretty much impossible to beat a professional slow-mo camera. Unless you count the complete sensor input from the Large Hadron Collider or something like that, I guess.
@@Steamrick Which is by the way, 25 petabytes per year, and less than 1% of it ever gets looked at.

Gavin: I need more Storage
Linus: How Much
Gavin: 1 Petabyta
Linus: How long until you fill that
Gavin: 1 Month
Are you freelee?
Correction ...
Linus: How long until you fill 1 petabyte?
Gav: 1 camera
Ha Linus didn't think of raw file storage, he may not use his cameras "like a pro" therefore never realized.
Okay a frame rate... Per second.
So 60,100,200...
Raw is 3x (or more) the frame size due to the meta and fact it's unprocessed.
So I'll do this as stills...
A 6mp camera takes a stand image of 1.2mb.
A pro of the same 7mb.
So if you're slow Mo shooting at 100 frames a second. That's 700MB a second.
So let's get 1 minute. 4.2gb.
A hour 252gB.
In law we use a term "bound to fail" storing data is required and useful to a degree, but planning is required.
We need to get Gavin a hundred yotabytes just to last him a year!
I am pretty sure a peta is eq to 1000 tera and not 130 tb

January 2020: Time for a sequel yet?
I want a uncut, uncensored version lmao
Linus: So this will give you 130 TB - 140 TB of storage
Gav: Can I upgrade it?
Linus: ...
There's the advantage of unRaid over other software raid systems, you can upgrade it drive by drive, since it supports mismatched drive sizes without wasted space. Only catch is the parity drive (or drives) have to be as large as the largest disk in the array.
WD Reds go up to 12TB. Seagate Ironwolves and Toshia NAS go up to 16TB. So yes. But if I was going to buy 15 of them to upgrade, I would also buy another server box to put them in and keep the existing one.
Above 10TB, the price per TB goes up a lot, so it is probably cheaper to buy more drive bays.
@@katrinabryce I would buy the highest possible hard drive capacity, because this can save you additional costs and space with a smaller case. generates less heat, and consumes less energy, especially in the summer when the air conditioning additionally has to dissipate the heat loss. Not everyone pays only 13 cents KW h in Germany, for example, you pay 36 cents / kwh. and it costs about $40 per year to run a single hard drive, and that's $ 400 for a 5-year deployment. This means that if you can save 3 hard drives, saves the additional $ 1200 on electricity costs.
@@fnordist Your math is a little off. $40 x 4 years is $200 not $400. Also your $40 per year number is like double the 100% read/write energy cost. These are going to run around 4-48kwh per year per drive. Given they are going to be idle or standby most of the time, I would estimate 15-20 kwh per year. Call it $5-8 (@0.36/kwh) and additional $2 to cool it. That will give you more like $150 over 5 years for 3 drives. With cheaper power, very low activity, and an environment you don't have to cool; the drop to $10 for 5 years.
My prices are a little on the low side because they don't take into consideration the efficiency of the power supply, but if you want to consider the system as a whole. If it uses 450w at full load taking out the three drives is only going to give you a 3-4% power savings.
@@barongerhardt which idiot has a 120 TB server if the server is not at least 60 percent busy? With such a low utilization cloud storage is cheaper.

He need PETABYTE storage NOT in Terabyte..
whats the electricity bill for 1 petabyte of storage?
Exa byte
Dave L unraid doesnt works like that . Most of the drives will be in sleeping state . When ever the drive need to be accessed . It would be active again . Thats the benefits of unraid. For 1 petabyte if he choose 16tb ironwolf drive 64+3 parity drive . Those drive are rated for 1W for standby and sleep and 9.6W during working .. so during standby conditions it would consume additional 64W during standby ,.. if he opts for 5 petabyte then it would be 320W during standby .. It would serve atleast 5 years for him 😅
I want to see a video of that build!
Typical Person i wish i could see that in real life 😅
So when is the petabyte project slow Mo edition going to begin I wonder?
I was thinking they should have done that instead, but this is still good

It all camera data based. These new 4K and 8K cameras open up a whole new segment of data storage. The good news is that that type of storage is now within the realm of the common man. In a time not too long ago only a multi-million dollar corportation could have been able to afford that kind of storage capacity. Aren't you glad you live in these times.

@@livedandletdie I'm far from being a tech savvy person, but doesn't that mean that these cameras have one hell of a lot of power to be able to produce, transfer and store 1.5GB of data per second??
@@wisefelipe That's why they're so bloody expensive.
1:59 is that magic moment where Linus hears "200 terabytes," and realizes that he is not only in trouble, but WOEFULLY underprepared.
This is the moment that Linus' mind immediately goes "Mistakes were made, and now it's on camera." I live for these moments.
idk if he's underprepared, afaik 200 terabytes is also peanuts to LTT
I did comment else where about this disaster.
You would have thought he would have considered real photography (videography) as he has similar cameras, or are they just not used correctly... Not that he needs raw data.
I saw 130tb in a old tech "sever" that would have never touched this issue at all. Here is a 2month solution... It's the wrong solution and done the wrong way.
I'd you look back Linus is not a real tech and do see his server and storage stuff & set up.
I'll say no more I find the video Linus makes for entertainment purposes only (and other) just that.
It does appear good though...
@@guywhoknows he literally uses this setup himself and he uses more data than the slowmo guys, he's just playing it up because it's funny how much data they are using. If you want to locally store this much data, this is the right approach.
@@lusteraliaszero
I would disagree with the approach.
It is kind of right for SME or general domestic.
When your talking uhd raw data is massive, even HD.
The correct "good sense" would be a main data server with an attached array. Like a SAN.
That way you can add to the array and only add storage to the network rather than adding servers with drive space rather than a storage array.
For example a small sever with few drives attached to a 48 bay array. Even if you use only 8 bays, there are another 40 to add.
Dumb arrays are cheaper IMO and would be good sense.
But you could attach USB drives to the server and swap out data.. if you don't mind waiting.
Perhaps data management as in policy is required.... Why keep raw files?
Rory Witham having done some research on why some you tubers keep raw files... it’s so they have original quality video on hand should they reference something and desire to play the clip without trying to get the file from CZcams itself.... pretty sure Gavin says that
"We need our security footage in 8K"
"I don't care how much it costs. Rob a bank if you have to!"

@@blackgrim5151 all they have to do is give a few well-known people with a huge audience the product to get their name out. like what Mitch H said. they are in a way investing in linus for advertising. who sponsored iJustin, dustin and gavin for the server? 45drives. so if I want to buy a server who do I find? 45drives. you get the picture right?

And then having them replaced with Jellyfish servers
Back when 500GB drives were the biggest you could get essentially, I bought 5 or 6 of them and they ended up being sequential serial numbers. I had a RAID5 I think setup at the time on my PC and I had 2 drives crash at the same time and then a third before I could get the replacement drives. I lost 10 years of my music collection and gave up on having a music library I was sooo sad.
I was really enjoying this video. Also seeing the LMG studio without any background music felt like it was "behind the scenes". I wish you'd upload an uncensored version though ;)

Top 10 Anime Crossovers

Those red drives use Shingled magnetic recording (SMR), instead of traditional Perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR).
In PMR drives, each track has its space on the spinning platter - as you would expect. In SMR drives, the tracks are shingled, as the tiles on a roof. When you write new data, all data already written need to be moved. So the SMD has a small traditional area, where new data are initially written. When the drive is idle, it moves the data from the PMR area to the SMR area. It take hours and days to properly fit the data.
The SMR drives are very good for storage, as they cost half price for the same size. But if they are mistakenly installed in a PC, or a RAID, they can make for a disastrous data loss.
You know he made a Techquickie video about this right?
Gavin will eventually need his own data center with cooling, UPS backups and Hyper Converged Infrastructure that can hold several Petabytes. Yikes!

"I'll make it last at least 8 months"
"So it's been 90 days and it's almost full"
Probably because he filled it with the old footage (according to himself in the end of this video) he had stored on external drives (and a few small NAS').. If he deleted the files that now is copied to this (organized and easily available one), then the he technically have a lot of free storage space again..
@@C0MPUTERPHILE Oh yeah for sure, I just find it amusing, haha.
I will never get tired of Linus making the exact same server for his youtube buddies. All those hijinx!
How long till Gavin and Dustin get Jellyfish servers to replace their unraid ones?
@@andy_byrd any difference?
@@andy_byrd instead of a 30k jellyfish he should get a petabyte server
@@andy_byrd Jellyfish and 45drives have totally different philosophies on how we do business. Us at 45 Drives are completely open with pricing, software etc. We have a github for anyone to comb through and use as they wish and use all open source software. Jellyfish however won't even tell you where the breakdown of costs come from. Jellyfish is for sure a decent product to use for direct attached storage for specific workloads, whereas our storinators are literally a jack of all trades. We don't recommend UNraid these days we have moved on for our recommended use cases. We use a combination of FreeNAS, CentOS + ZFS and for our clustered storage solutions we use Ceph. Cephfs is hands down the best distributed file system out there right now and our clusters can handle anything from Object storage, to file system storage, to block based storage. Not only that we can do all at once. If you want to run an object gateway like a S3 bucket, combined with SMB/NFS shares running on CephFS, as well as iSCSI block devices you can go to town! Essentially Jellyfish is decent at one or two specific things, whereas we do it all.
@@andy_byrd 😭
So Gav does the tedious back end stuff and Dan does the physical get hurt stuff. Fantastic duo.
14:26 Aw no don’t apologize for laughing 🥺
3 Months running. Almost filled 130TB worth of archive. JESUS.
I assume some of that is from older stuff he had stored all over the place. He did say that he put his most commonly used files on there.
@@Steamrick Yeah, I thought so too. Still It hurts me to think that a single individual can fill 130TB worth of data in 3 months.
army6669990101 well he uses RAW footage. Uncompressed. So each frame is a separate picture. Unlike a compressed video like mp4 mov ect that layers similar pictures as one.
@@army6669990101 I could easily fill that if I could afford it. I've got 40TB now and I filled that up in less than a month.
Not really that impressive. If you're actually dealing with 500TB + of info a year, you start to get away from servers, and start looking at SANs. I think the latest SAN storage devices we get for cheap hold 240TB per. You can buy this off the shelf easily.
anyone who watches LTT, or SlowmoGuys, knows he needed the 45 drive server
Linus started Covid just to stop Gav needing another server lol
_conspiracy theory_
I'm really digging this new sitcom.
Linus: Lists tons of specs no one understands
Gav: dAmN
Some of us do understand
@@rollover36 His facial expressions didn't look like he did...
@@Hoch134 if u know anything about computers that was like the alphabet
Destin: I need some help
Gav: It will last 8 months
Linus: 6 months to organize, 3 months to fill it up
Absolutely enjoy tech videos!
I'm pretty sure I've watched this video 3 times, I love the interaction between Gav and Linus 😂
Just build a petabyte project and be done with it for 2 years.
*The hunger for more storage never ends Lad!*
4 months*
With how much storage Gav needs, he may want to look into 5D storage, also called Superman Memory Crystal.
@@to12 Lol
@@to12 *but a wise man would know that 5D storage a.k.a Superman Memory Crystal get's weak when exposed to Extradimensional G.Crypt a.k.a Kryptonite.*
