My Chia rack is a 15U home made thing, it's basically a set of wheels, worktop cutoff as the base, some MDF side panel, rack strips screwed to the MDF with a nice bit of oak work top offcut as the top. It makes for a great work bench, theirs probably some pre-made metal frames that could be used instead and slap a wooden top on, might be something worth thinking about doing for your middle bench and to gain an extra bit of rack space in the process. Might be time for a home made tumble dryer as well, pipe that hot server isle air backwards into the tumble dryer (with the heater and fan turned off) and get some free drying (and cooling!)
Can you make a video explaining the power distribution units that you have at the bottom of the two racks? Im trying to understand how they work. Thanks
Nice Video, I am a small chia 400 TB farmer in garage with some gpu mining and 240V power. Your videos really make me wonder about when to consider rack storage. Is there a entry HD array that could be managed by a PC (e.g. 5900x or i10900)? really appreciate any suggestions . looking forward to seeing the rack build out.
Good topic for a video but in a nutshell. I use TrueNAS as tier 1 backups and fast shared storage for performance reasons. It's fast fast. I use UnRaid for tier 2 backups as it's slow but doesn't "waste" disks with raid like ZFS. I use the tape library for third tier which I take tapes off-site manually.

I use a kitchen step ladder to help with lifting my to 4u into the top of my 42u

I think this will answer most questions you have in an older vid ua-cam.com/video/2kI7MT0hFe8/v-deo.html
@@DigitalSpaceport will check it out now, thanks!
how did you get those APC Rails 0m-756h to fit since they are too narrow for those netapp boxes
They flex outward a cm or so on each side. Best to sit the NetApp on top, then angle backward which is clear space, then wiggle in 1 side at a time.
@@DigitalSpaceport Coolio, what os are you using on r720xd and what drives and raid config as well. I'm having drive compat issues I believe.
what is the HDD capacity used in the NetApp DE6600
Very Nice!
Thanks! I'm moving the DS4246's inside right now. 72 disks in just the half rack makes me feel happy 🎉
@@DigitalSpaceport And I thought I was good with a single 60 disk enclosure. LMAO!

When do you use truenas vs unraid?

How are you going to connect the monitor and the server？
6pb?
480 trays... Mummmmm so many trays.
