Ahhh the data hoarder. Caught in the wild. Watch as he backs up his art on the fridge from the first grade and then replicates it 3x because a mirror is not a backup. I’m pretty sure Wendell has that tattooed on his body somewhere!!! I love this shit btw
Wendel has a back tattoo of Sinbad as Shazam... he's from the original time line. He must be attempting to preserve it's knowledge here in the darkest time line.
I bought 5x 12TB Seagate Exos Recertified, from them. I live in Canada, so, at the border it got hit with duties. But even with shipping AND duties AND currency conversion it was still cheaper than buying a new (or 5 new) drives. And yes, their shipping is freaking INCREDIBLE!
I bought a couple used Supermicro 36 bay and 72 bay chassis with SAS2/3 backplanes and redundant 1.2KW PSUs. They have been great! Reasonably low noise once I replaced the stock 80/92mm fans with 3 x Noctua 140mm fans.
I just ordered from these guys a couple months ago, great customer service. Learned about them from some dude on reddit. They got the drives out right after the hurricane too.
At my job we're probably moving offices & will need a lot more space for the NVR/Camera storage. Since we're always going to have access to the system, I'm running TrueNAS for storage & I'm a huge fan of RAID-Z3 I recommended using recertified drives. If you lose data with RAID-Z3 you either neglected the array for a decent amount of time or there was a disaster on-site. Get 2+ extra drives as well - one for a warm replacement & one for a cold replacement plus monitor report emails and the system will be set.
That's where I bought my 23 TB drives from. WORKS AMAZING! Was able to consolidate all my 23 drives of data from all the way back to 2003 on up to 2024. AND I STILL HAD SPACE LEFT! And this point, its saving up for a tape drive so I can get all my data backed up to cold storage for the long haul. But with how CHEAP these drives are? I can buy spares, and just make multiple copies and not worry to much about it as the O.G. tapes last for quite a bit since they are almost all data grade.
The biggest issues I've run into out of SPD has been a batch of Exos X16 16TB drives. Started with 10 drives, 2 DOA, replaced 4 more within the 2 year warranty, including one that was an RMA drive already. I blame that on that series of drives though. My X18 drives and WD DC5xx drives have had zero failures. I'll go back to them again next time I need to upgrade.
I have to second the comment about the arctic fans. Pro tip: buy the 5 packs of them, even if you only need a few, they're way cheaper per unit that way and you will find a use for the extras in the long run
All my NAS drives (16x 12tb) are retired WD/HGST drives from serverpartdeals and other similar places. Never had any issues. Coincidentally I am now using an external HBA inside of a MS-01 connected to a Super Micro JBOD. It's been great!
I can remember when VCR came out and I had to program my parents VCR for them as it was too Complicated" for them 🤣 Happy to host your off shore back solution in the future, of course I will need to watch all dvds to ensure integrity
I just replaced my Fractal 140mm fans in my R6 with a 5 pack of Arctic's F12s. I mainly replaced them 140mm fans due to age and the bearings were making noise. So I cleaned out the PC from any dust intrusion, cleaned the filters, changed all the fans, and the nice part of Fractal's cases, the standardized fan board that uses standardized connectors. PC is nice and quiet again, and running cool again.
Gotta say, I really appreciate you not blaming the delivery person in the intro, but taking a more materialist viewpoint and blaming the very structure of society. The entire delivery business workforce has been reduced to the gig-economy, thus delivery people get paid per delivery rather than making a minimum wage, and in order to reach any sort of liveable income have to reach a certain number of deliveries each hour that is incredibly high. This is exactly the mechanism behind Amazon delivery drivers peeing in plastic bottles, blaming those who are basically doing slave labour is just sad to me.
Had to rplace a bunch of Fans the other day 80 and 120 mm. I went with Arctic and I have to agree prettyy damn ice fans and for that price they are a total no brainer.
That's interesting, I also have docker running in LXC containers in proxmox, but never had it restart. But there is not a lot of communication between the host and the docker container, as the storage and nfs mounts are just passed through to the LXC. Most communication happens inside docker or between LXC containers.
Thank you Wendell for the heads up on Server Part Deals. i have an old Synology DS1515+ NAS lying around that I could reuse with some serious storage. Have been using a Win 11 box with storage spaces as off site at my studio and a Synology DS1621+ as a replacement for the DS1515+ at home. Hmm time to think where I could deploy the old DS1515+ it irks me leaving it sat doing nothing.
I'm not following the ZFS VDEV layout @ 15:00. At 15:10 Wendell says "four RAIDZ1 VDEVs". That would only utilize 12 of the fifteen disks, leaving three unutilized/spare? Then at 15:20 he says "Four drives...three drives of capacity RAIDZ1...and then you have a hot spare." This sounds like it's four disks per VDEV with one hot spare each? Then at 15:50 he says "With four VDEVs the performance is really good. You're giving up four plus one drives worth of capacity." I'm not sure if something was lost in the edit here, but instructions unclear. Now fork is in my VDEV, and my AI DeVito has broken free from his pen.
Perfect timing. My old pfsense box just died and i have been running pfsemse on proxmox as a stop gap. I would like to see a video exploring how to get the most 4kQD1 performance in a VM without passing through optane. virtio scsi or virtio-fs. Maybe more details on how you run your workstation with your p5800x passed through, how do you handle backps from the p4800x
I'm a complete noob at this stuff but this is a direction I'm trying to build towards. I don't think it's realistic for every household to have their own cloud infrastructure but I also don't like big tech holding everything. What I want to see is more community level cloud infrastructure where someone like me can spearhead setting things up and making cloud infrastructure available to my friends and family where the circle of trust is much smaller. But this goal seems quite challenging because you do need things highly-available-enough that people don't get frustrated and jump ship, but also on a manageable scale for basically a roided out home lab.
I've been buying used 8-10 tb hgst he drives from Amazon for 75usd. For my home game hoarding needs. My gaming rig and arcade emulator cabinet. They work great and rated for 2.5 million hours (come with 50k hours)
I've bought WD since '94. Not a single failure. (3 external cages failed, no drives.) Two years ago tried an EXOS 10TB. Dead in 8 months... (I know, not statistically significant...)
So, I just tried using tailscale which you are pushing quite a lot on this channel, I found that it's inferior to zerotier: - You cannot join many tailnets at the same time - You cannot create many tailnets under one account - You cannot automate things as far as I could tell, the joining device gives you a link you have to open in a browser... and then it's bound to the "global account" network - If you were to host your own controller you have to fiddle with "coordination server" address - The coordination server has to be reachable over the open internet - The coordination server needs to be online at all times, in zerotier it's only needed for adding/banning peers in a network and for changing configuration - The flow rules in zertotier look a bit more sane as far as I can tell
It's worth noting that TS and ZT have somewhat different philosophies on how to architect an overlay network which results in some intrinsic advantages and disadvantages depending on workload. Tailscale's big thing is zero configuration on the client, you can't automate it but you can scan that QR code for grandmother and that's literally the entire configuration to get her system on your Tailnet. There's also some methods to make links between Tailnets including sharing a client from one Tailnet to another using the coordination server, and you can use ACLs to separate resources within a Tailnet even though you only get one Tailnet. Calling it inferior is a bit unfair, it's just making different tradeoffs that mean that ZeroTier fits your use case better
@bosstowndynamics5488 but zerotier is also completely zero configuration, you just give someone the ID of a network you want them to join and ln your account just click authorize when that client shows up as wanting to join the network. There are also "public" networks where any client can join without auth. ACLs in tailscale are overly complicated if you just want to separate your VPS from friends gaming PCs. Simpler is better if you care about security at all. Also to show that tailscale really needs more configuration - my network controller can be behind two NATs and a firewall on zerotier - and when someone wants to join my network on that controller I still just give them the ID of that network. On a tailscale like I said - it needs to have at least a public IP. I just completely don't get it, how can you recommend tailscale over zerotier. I guess their management panel is a little bit dumbed down and thus won't scare the non-technical users?
it’s just that overseas air shipping something like individual mechanical HDDs is something I try to avoid. I doubt those will get handled like ASML machines with their specialized shipping and cargo plane.

Thanks for the video. What I am trying to find out is size of a format shift tv show from DVD. TV show 1 hour long 1080p 24fps plus good 5.1 audio, how big is this 1 hour show. With the info then can find out how big a storage system I would need. With the 15 x 22 tb drives and just storing movies and tv how many hours could you store on that system with a 2 drive redundancy, using this would just build a second as a back up.
I made a plex (plus) server running unraid. 4 (were new 8tb reds), 4 server part deals 20tb recerts (they could only be 18ish months old at the time). Now I feel like it's too small.
Are you using native zfs encryption? I was using that but had issues with replication. Seems that technology has not matured well and github has quite a number of issues about that.
I'm definetely going to use that webpage with your code. Do you know how to contact them to handle tax free locations? I was setting the cart but they are trying to charge me tax.
In your schematic, you show the storage as tb and gb and the speed of the switch as 10gb. People confuse these things all the time, why not use the correct units? i.e. GB and TB and Gb

- If you were to host your own controller you have to fiddle with "coordination server" address
- The coordination server has to be reachable over the open internet
- The coordination server needs to be online at all times, in zerotier it's only needed for adding/banning peers in a network and for changing configuration
