Building the $1,000,000 Computer

We've unboxed it, we've built one of the servers, and now it's finally time! In this video, we're assembling the ENTIRE $1,000,000 petabyte of flash cluster, and powering it up for the FIRST TIME.

That screwdriver flip at 11:47 was smooth af

[weetabixharry]

In twenty years, I guess I'll be carrying one of these in my pocket. Or in my earlobe or whatever.

I work at another clustered file company, Qumulo who also makes these huge systems on Supermicro systems. We're actually kinda competitors with Weka. Can confirm that drive fault protection process they talked about is a really complex process that has scientific whitepapers backing it. When the drive goes down you reprotect the EC stripes for those pages. Then when new drives are added to the cluster you actually want to "rebalance" data so that heavy multistream workloads will hit all the new drives equally.

Imagine being a multimillionaire, wanting a computer and giving 1.000.000 dollars to then wait for them to build you a computer with, and THIS is the video they post of the process

[willkelly]

You know you’re cooking with something special when your cooling system makes the THX noise 18:37

[mikefung]

Linus: There's business grade computer, and then there's enterprise grade computer.

Also Linus: Let's YOLO it

[matthewbartos]

This really put into perspective my colleges server room, literally a 40x40 room full of server racks double the height of the server y'all built. I never really considered how nuts that was until y'all built this.

[StagnantMizu]

man I always get fascinated by tech, love it

[jackor]

ahh my favourite content, Jake and Linus being children around expensive server equipment. Give me more

[twixieshores]

Cut to 2 years from now: "we blew through our Petabyte server, so we bought another building to store an entire YOTTABYTE of data"

[jobturner]

Having been involved in setting up a single cabinet blade server system with little to no experience this brought back memories. I laughed a bit to hard when they had the wrong 240 plug.

[Josh]

Linus legit carried me through my IT course in college. Soo nostalgic to see him 8 years later haha

[SahimTech]

I love how he's put links to the parts in the description like we're gonna build a $1, 000, 000 PC 😂

[zahawolfe]

I can’t imagine how nervous everyone at super micro was watching Linus handle this expensive tech and almost dropping it several times

[stephenspeliades]

Dude Linus is my favorite. I also do IT like this in the states, on an extremely high level lol… but Linus is like a GOD in the IT world… next time I work for one of my clients in Canada I’m gonna try to get in touch and just meet this dude

[Ughbiscuits]

The next LTT hire is confirmed to be a person just to lift heavy things.

[carpincho]

Whoever does HR for LMG must self medicate after these kinds of episodes

[haydensmith]

Watching Linus Team fumble over standard enterprise mounting hardware warms my heart.

[iamkio]

I love the chemistry between these two

[SSYoung]

With your petabyte project i am becoming numb to numbers
"400Gb pers second"
"1Pb of storage"
No big deal.... wait 1 Pb is 1, 000 Tb
400Gb per second is about 50 to 120 times faster then any single m.2 storage on the common thats fast
