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! - Наука та технологія
Doin' it up big league!
hmmmmm linus vs quin 😂😂😂😂
You’re the one that inspired me to start this crazy project. Thanks for everything! ❤️
;)
Shots fired
@@snazzy place your bets ladies and gentlemen. Is snazzy labs going to work with floatplane.
You're giving me some ideas here with our server build...
Fly me out there and I'll help you do a terrible job! jk. Just hire Wendell.
Haha nice
Get a true SysAdmin involved my friend Wendell is your friend.
Here's an idea - forget using old junk and call Dell.
@@snazzy You spelt linus wrong
Is it possible to build a 1/3 petabyte server on a budget? It is if you get 24 14TB HDDs for free.
That made me laugh too. Those 24 drives are £450 EACH in the UK, total cost for x24 (if you had to pay for them) would be £11,000+. That does not look, or sound like a budget server!!! lololol
Thought the same. Have an dual socket x58 board here. More than enough power, also a ZFS pool with ssd cache. Performance is more than enough for me and my Fam, but yeah, HDDs are still expensive if u need like 10 of them lol
Ah but he was going to buy them anyway so it's all ok.....
@@magburner I mean even if he paid for all the drives at $11,000 and $2000 for the hardware, throw in an extra $1000 for accessories and it's still a server on a budget compared buying new equipment and a software solution on top. $15,000 is a very different number to $40,000
easy, he means budget for what it is, 120tb 10gbe storage, the cost of the drives cannot be avoided. would you like to see the price on similar jellyfish storage?
* reads title *
Wait... That’s illegal!
...
I’m intrigued!
All I wanted to say was cute pfp!!!!!
Hey at least Linus won’t have the chance to drop it.
He has...in every other timeline possible.
You under estimate his POWA!!!
YOU DESERVE MY LIKE
Does he even lift?
He will find a way ;)
I LOVE YOUR SHIRT :D
It is SO SOFT!
Who wouldn't love your shirt?
Wendell! who would tell you 5 years ago that you will become the IT guy for tech UA-camrs? lol
ProNastyNick that’s how mafia works bro
You should make a Fedora :O
Hahaha! "I didnt need Linus Tech Tips" . . . I called Wendell. Also, FreeNAS for the win!!
Good stuff.. a full built one like this is my next project - I just live in an apartment and need to keep it silent, which makes things complicated.
Dell Poweredge R710 is the same thing but really quiet!
Damn, the fact that you clearly stated without Linus Tech Tips really makes it more hilarious 👏😂.
Does the world believe he is the only person capable of throwing a server together? l've watched and it's excruciating.
Yeah, the title should be "With Level1Techs!"
@@robinlovell1617 Obviously not - he's just the one who shouted about it the loudest?
@@robinlovell1617 na, he was just sponsored by that server or whatever company to promote that thing, and so called "help" mkbhd and ijustine build their servers.
@@robinlovell1617 it not about being capable, is about being able to get it for free or heavily discounted because of sponsors deals.
finally i can store billions of meme compilations in 8k 60fps
That would probably get you like 15 hours of footage (when uncompressed)
bo diddily
120fps 🤔🤔🤔
OK, but you gotta set it up as a personal cloud so you can access your memes on the go.
60fps? U could go up to way more than that
"I used Ironwolf HDDs for years"
A few minutes earlier: "I used only Samsung T5 in the past."
Yeah, that was "nice". Pfft.
Maximilian Leith He could have them in his PC, or have them in his home or previous server, the Samsung’s T5 could have been for on the go editing.
True, but he did mention he had tried consumer NAS's and didn't like them. They could have had the drives in them.
If it’s not HGST/WD Ultrastar, I have zero expectations.
I've been learning a lot about networking recently, and this was a super interesting and informative video! Awesome content!
Great video and thank you for not saying NIC card...Great timing to as I was wondering about these drives and was going to pick up two of them today.

I’m so glad you made this video 🎊
Thanks so much, dude! It was a fun project!
Lol why has no one replied to this comment…apart from snazzy labs
Fantastic video. There aren't too many creators on UA-cam that can articulate server builds as well as you do.
really cool setup but i know from experience that 60 seconds is NOT enough time to shutdown servers, you're gonna want to get a bigger UPS
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
Well you can get a big 18650 bank
He's saying that at PEAK LOAD there would have a minimum of 60-seconds for the server(s) to begin the shutdown process. Other than that specific situation happening (never), he is 100% safe with the hardware he's using.
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.
If Seagate gave me $11,000 worth of drives, I'd be recommending them too. Jokes aside, that's pretty neat.
Yep its easy to say that you build this setup by
In the UK that £12000 of off the shelf drives
I still wouldn't recommend them. I'd sell them to suckers on ebay and buy some reliable drives instead.
Sammy Swanksmith these drives are fine 🙄
@@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.
Ur detailed videos are second to none. Anybody can watch this video and still have some what of an understanding what your talking about. Good work. Hope to see your channel grow over the years. Best of luck mate.
Normal people: "Cool video"
People in IT "OMG did he just say 'Pro-Leant'"
Exactly
thank you. i have always pronounced it like the PRO in professional and the LIANT in reliant. when i heard him say "pro-Leon[t]" i had to hear it a few times to figure out if its me or him that is right(i hope its me).
Yeah, that makes me cringe. I pronounce ProLiant as ‘Pro L-y-ant’, as if you’re saying ‘lie’ but also sticking ‘ant’ on the end of it. Never heard it pronounced ‘Pro-Leant’ in my entire life.
@@vaelfonia Pro-lie'ant's the way to go mate. Although these old comments makes me think of the poorly named 2-in-1 HP made called ProOne, which of course wasn't always stylised and so I got a lot of questions about this new computer, "the HP prune".

thanks man. I knew someone would come through.
Love the deeper explanation of how you use your server in your workflow!
Nice video. Came for the hardware specs, pricing and info on FreeNas. Even felt your technical explanations neither bored me or glazed my eyes over. That may not seem like a compliment, but I work in a room full of these HPs and just received a decommissioned one myself.
Linus: makes 100 terabyte server
Snazzy Labs: *hold my broken iMac*
Actually Linus made a petabyte server.
And his petabyte server is getting full fast and he is going to upgrade soon.
he has a 1000Terabyte server (a Petabyte)
also linus has 2 SSD only server (i think its 100TB each)
@@shrishak00 I bet that he would make 20 Petabyte server.
You should consider adding a NVME log volume for the ZFS; This will allow plenty time for coalescing I/O and handle bursty I/O as well; I'd also recommend using a separate boot volume, if necessary.
Just leaving it as a suggestion :)
He is using a separate boot volume, FreeNAS forces you to. Generally it gets run off a USB flash drive.
I love the video! Really good flow of topics/explanations AND your video quality/fidelity is superb!
what read/write speeds (via black magic speediest) are you getting on the system?
That’s close enough to my title suggestion on Twitter, thanks for using it!
Thanks for your amazing recommendation! :D

@@TheUnboxerMan Good on him. If Linus got worked up over the opinion of an irrelevant viewer like me, then he'd clearly be weak minded.

great video, I could follow along due to your easy explanation of the components and how they are all used in conjunction together. I would absolutely love to see you do a video on the New Mac Pro this fall 2019.
"on a budget"... if you get sponsored with $12 000 worth of hard drives
Comparative to the other solutions, it was still cheaper. And if you used cheaper drives or slowly purchased your drives I'd say it's a pretty good budget option for these kinds of demands.
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.
István Szikra I have card board boxes, an old laptop motherboard, old hard drives laying around, and a glue stick. I’m sure I can make my own using those items and not break 3 dollars
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 UA-camrs 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
I think your server is bigger than my fridge!
Nah. About half the size. 😉
Awesome video! good work on finally doing storage right!
Thanks for sharing this really nice to know for ones that have lower budget limit but could use storage and decent server still
0:24 "backing-up most of the footage has been both a logistical and *financial impossibility"*
1:36 "building a 336TB server *on a really tight budget"*
1:54 *"sponsored by Seagate"*
"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!" ~12k on hard drives and given by Seagate ~2,6k on the rest.
Don't get me wrong 15k < 40k and it's a cool project and a nice video. I basically only dislike the intro:
"This was way to expensive in the past" followed by "but now we can do it" _P.S. "we got 4/5 from seagate, thx"._
You get 100tb from jelly fish
Yeah, this is definitely way, waaaay more affordable to do this now than it used to. I also think the statement was meant for professionals for whom losing data is losing their only source of income.
This video is very obviously NOT aimed at the Average Joe. Sorry you weren't able to catch on to that. It must have ruined the entire rest of the video for you after that point, simply from disappointment..
,oo,,i@@ShiroKage009
Thanks for pointing that out. Really tight budget sponsored by seagate. BS.
When I saw "Without Linus Tech Tips" in the title I was concerned that you did it yourself and it would end up being meh, then you said Wendell helped and I was super happy because he's amazing
Wendell is a super hero.
yeah, this system running zfs and being really value and reliable is also inspiring to other creators and home users to build sth. similar on the cheap/far cheaper than this even, that actually has proper reliability and data corruption protection.
You put so much of effort explaining things in your videos. I'm amazed. Keep going.
This was awesome...
I found you from Austin's video and your 10 gigabit home upgrade video, and loved it ever since.
Thanks!!
You used LTT as click bait in the title. Then plugged and gave credit to Level 1 Techs and Wendel for being the heroes they are.
I like your style. ;-)
$12k worth of HDD's is "On a budget" for a two-person UA-camr team. Ffs.
You’re right. We should probably double the storage.
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-UA-camr 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.
Cheere
@@robinlovell1617 actually I think this is a very solid video. No where does he say that he is recommending this for small businesses or anyone else but he is show casing a use case that works for him. Of course the drives were provided for free, we all know that and he makes that no secret. But why get tied down in the fact that it's worth $Xk when you could achieve similar based on your own budget? You know how much everything else costs, small businesses or anyone else could very easily just start with slightly less that 300TB of storage...
TAPS147 Solid in what way? Lighting? Production values? There would be no use case if the drives hadn’t been free. The video wouldn’t have been made. He may not have explicitly said ‘here’s what I did so you should too’ but the message is clear - that he’s a small outfit and here’s an idea. You think this video is
Oops hit send
... is aimed at the enterprise? Er no. Home user? No gifted drives for them and nowhere to store this jet-noise beast. Small biz? Yeah. But again no maintenance contract on old hardware that’s reached end of life by any other standards. So the video is just about showcasing this gift that he got and his own video making talents. Some of the tech message in there is not best practice too so overall, no one is being helped much. His use case is making money from views, so let’s not kid each other this is anything but amateurs plugging together kit found in a skip.
Oh man so dope!! Congrats on the editor as well!!
Great video! You explained everything very clearly.
I like how you get all this stuff and then you cheap out on the most important part of the build which is the UPS.
Yeah, 1500VA does seem minimal for all of that hardware and its reserve capacity will diminish over time as well.
Hey there! Can you give some additional details about your setup? It seems pretty cool. For instance what model is that server rack? Thanks!
thx 4 a peek inside an enterprise server - love how modular it looks!!
While definitely not what people envision when “budget build” is mentioned, this is super cool. I’d love to build a server like this. This really is big time. Not low-budget, ideal for a lot of people, or applicable to anything but video/content creation or large backup systems, but this is super badass. Congrats on the build!
I realized that ONE of those 14tb drives would probably set me for life. I wouldn't even comprehend what I would do with 336tb
Well, if you have ONE 14TB drive, you better have TWO so you can Mirror the thing - cuz it WILL die sometime ;-)
porn... lots of porn.
I probably have around 6-7TB of data across my various drives. It's mainly just media and game backup, plus some game capture footage. I'm going to need to purchase more storage fairly soon.
I could easily burn through a 14TB drive. Whenever I buy storage, I fill it up fairly quickly.
Some people in the 80s said that 1gb is gonna last..
I cannot even grasp what you're saying.
Welcome Derek.....to SnazzyLabs Fam👍🏻✌🏻
It’s been a journey, but I’m here to stay.
Wride Cinema Happy for ya. Cheers✌🏻
Nice one mate I am a proper noob when it comes to this sort of stuff but I do like the easy why you explain and run down what you did how you did it and how it works so I can easily get my friend to help out with any of the builds you show ps I also am a big fan of the power mac g5 it is the desktop I used for music production back in the day so hope the new one will be good
We use the DL380p G8s at work, mainly for running VMs. We've had issues here and there, but generally, once they're up and running, they're super reliable.
Wasn’t the title “I built a 336Tb Server without Linus Tech Tips”?
Yes, I guess they changed it at some point. I'm not a subscriber but I saw it in recommended before and after they changed the title. Got curious and here I am. Pretty good video.
Thay changed the name again
Your pronunciation of "Proliant" is just precious 😄
Also lol'd at "zee file system or ZFS"
I am glad you talk to Wendel, he is an awesome guy and wealth of knowledge. Where di you get the rack case for your stuff?
@Snazzy Labs Impressive video. In the future could you please do a walkthrough on configuration and common problems?
Yup, definitely no Linus...because then something would have dropped
You can build a cheap Server...when you get sponsored.
Yeah. That's really dirt cheap.
The fact that you reply to nearly all of your comments is amazing bro
Looks a good set up
X1 rack server plus
Big storage array
What are you protecting the system, i.e on the network?
And power wise?
Be interesting to know
Minor note: You pronounced Proliant as "Prolee-ahnt". It's a portmanteau of "professional" and "reliant".
Can you make a video about Alfred 4 when it comes out?
Good video and nice breakdown on zfs :)
Wonderful video. Keep up the good work bro. 👍
Linus Tech Tips: "The Jellyfish Fryer". Has pointed me in this direction. I'm glad I have found this Channel.

HP Pro Leon? Is it installed with Lye Nicks?
Love it! Very interesting! This video actually made me build my own NAS also :) Will publish a video of it when it's all done and had some proper testing with different devices as well. Sadly we can't get that cheap second-hand server hardware in Sweden due to taxes etc. when importing. So I had to stick to new hardware from European retailers.

I need to do this (on a smaller scale) for my photography. Like ASAP. Thanks for the idea of older Enterprise machines. That will be much better in the long run than other options I was considering.
Be aware it can get VERY loud
"Why so much RAM? Well it's cheap."
I question this statement.
DDR3 ECC is crazy cheap.
I think it’s all relative, but also ddr3 is old so there should be lots in the market (even though there use to be a shortage)
Ecc ram is stupid cheap
How about a small version of this built into a cheese grader mac pro? 4HDs natively 8+ if you start filling in optical bays. Add any network card you want...
Hey, love those netapps! I've got three in my rack stack and I swapped the controllers for the Compellents so I could ditch the expensive QSFP-SFF8088 cables. They work FANTASTICALLY
Nice!
Awesome!
I tried using freenas years ago and just couldn't get it to work on some old server hardware I purchased. I ended up buying into Unraid and haven't looked back. I'm not using it for fast read and write speeds though.
The way this dude pronounces proliant caused my asthma to flair up.
love the youtubers view of building a server on a budget lol
I will say that I've not watched your channel, but I think you did a very good job explaining your setup for those without lots of storage experience. I've been doing storage for decades now and can appreciate the setup you are using.
Few points. Using ZFS, be sure to not fill the pool up to 80+% unless you want to experience pain.
Would be worthwhile knowing the HBAs used. For a setup like you need I'd highly suggest a multipath server backplane and HBAs. Because you can chain disk shelves in a ring. Also, if you ever need some more HA you could consider a dual headend setup.
Hey Snazzy,
On the subject of upgrades, there's also another method,
If you have Auto Grow enabled on the pool, what you can do is pull an old drive on a vdev out, and stick in a new higher capacity blank drive, and let the NAS rebuild the array with the new disk, then move onto the next disk. Once all the disks in the pool have been upgraded, the pool's capacity will magically increase to suit the new disk sizes without having to add additional drives.
Also regarding the noise, check the UEFI Settings on the HP Server, there may well be some options to adjusting the cooling profiles to favour less noise, and if the machine lives in a space that doesnt see excessive temps, you should be able to get it decently quiet. All of my Supermicro and IBM / lenovo System-X Machines have quiet profiles, and they really are quiet on most days unless it gets really hot.
Cheers.

When dealing with back-ups, you want a system that will:
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Should have used NAS4FREE, as FREENAS has enabled some ZFS flags that aren’t used at any other Systems that us using ZFS. This means, you are stuck at FREENAS. And UNRAID, that is a dead duck you want to avoid.
the animation on zfs raid is so amazing.
Looking at a much smaller NAS for my Home studio.
At my scale that can be costly and full of uncertainty about its durability. Your summary was very useful. 👍

Seagate, the only brand of HDD's I've ever owned that have died on me, plenty of them as well.

Thats not a 1500W UPS, its a 1500VA UPS which supports 1000w, just FYI

Nice build. Nice idea. You could have bought a QNAP 3U NAS with 8 drivers and 4SSDs and serve 6 edits seemlessly. We use this on broadcast edits for the BBC. Similar price but much smaller and quieter. I have a ZFS server at home as well though - would love to see the QNAP support it.
As of today (Aug 2021), I cannot find 14 TB ironwolf pro disks but comparable 16 TB units that sell for 730€/unit here in France, which, added to the price of your parts, give you a server at around 20k€ for 384 TB. That's still a down payment for a house in some countries lol. Thanks Seagate for hooking the channel with around 16/17k of HDD so that we can enjoy the vid !
Margaret (tribute to the discord server but it was my suggestion. I appreciate it :D) turned out great, for real. I'm really into networking/infrastructure/data center stuff at this moment in my career and 1. Wendell is amazing; and 2. You continue to get my attention every single video - OK, already told that.
I really hope Margaret lasts for a long time and she can provide great things and our constant dosis of snazziness (is that a word? Don't judge me, english is not my native language) every single video to come.
