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

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.

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 ???

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.

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

Well Linus has a Petabyte, and I'm pretty sure he has almost filled it.

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.

IbukiHimari would you like to open it?

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.

I think it's Gavin's sense of humour too :)

Yeah same here. At first, I actually thought this was an LTT episode. I was thinking to myself "damn this video is super chill and relaxing, they should do videos like this more often".

Ya I like it

Linus hyper au naturel. I kinda liked it...

The good old days of LTT before the warehouse offive :(

It's like switching from the US version of Kitchen Nightmares to the UK version.

Would wow ten times as hard when he says how long that takes to do (Not long)

Let's see it's 1.5GB per second of footage. So yeah it's weirdly fast. 90GB/Minute of footage, so 900GB for 10 minutes, which is incredible...

.

@@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.

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 😅

around 22:30

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 UKposts itself.... pretty sure Gavin says that

NorteX and I thought my 1TB SSD was a bit overkill...

@@ElZamo92 We've build a 6PB cluster for a customer last year. They brought in hard drives by the pallets :D

Thomas Vleermuis lol

Every second on their video (raw from the camera itself) is 24gbs

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.

*2020!* Litterally a couple seconds after that "90 days have passed, it's almost full" Oh c'mon now.

but still linus have to pay for all of that drives right? There no way seagate just give maybe 1 mil worth of drives free of charges to linus

@@blackgrim5151 I work for 45Drives, I can tell you that for certain projects storage is indeed given. Think of it as money they would normally spend on marketing to get their product in front of peoples eyes, they instead just give away some product and it has the same exact end result but it actually ends up being cheaper because they make the drives for much much cheaper than they sell them for :)

@@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? To get their investment, they need to embed their brand into someone's head. When someone hears about servers they will automatically think about 45drives, which directs customers to them and that is where they get their returns for the spending.

@@mitcHELLOworld That's a smart move.

@@Syn741 Also, a few hundred drives is not that much to their production volume. Especially, not for the return.
