What a team of legends!!! Total game changer for us. I will repay this debt by whatever the top rated comment below this is.

[trimonmusic]

From working on the Mars Rover to giving the commencement speech at MIT to receiving a custom PC from Linus. This guy has lived!

It's amazing how much storage has changed since around 2008. I worked in a data-center back then and the thought of having all this storage transferring so fast was straight up science fiction. I still work with a bunch of OLD tech still running Server03 and wish I could play around with all this new stuff.

[devdoesitbest]

Mark using external hard drives and Dropbox as storage solutions is the most engineering thing I've ever heard

[SheetMusicBoss]

Can you pretty please build us a computer too, Linus? 🙏

[xchasef]

Linus being tech support for other youtubes is probably some of my favorite content.

[yuGtahT]

Mark and Linus are literally just two dads conversing 😂

[thexgamer]

It’s so nice to see Linus and his husband working together to help small creators like Mark.

[gearboxworks]

I absolutely love how supportive you guys are of each other! ❤

That kind of ethos is why I spend my time watching YouTube now and don’t send much time on Facebook or Twitter anymore.

[Seed]

The video tags include "mark rober has too much money" LOL

[TobyCatVA]

The chemistry between Mark and Linus is terrific, two genius creatives that get each other, we need more of them together on a project.

[TrogdorBurninor]

I have watched a ton of these, and finally this one is EXACTLY what I needed explored - a maximalist one-box NAS. Thank you. I will note that for those who aren't in this price bracket but need hundreds of terabytes, you can get a used 16-port HBA, the Adaptec 71605, for $40 plus a $10 aftermarket blower plus $50 in cables. And that you can get 18tb factory reconditioned drives from serverpartsdeals for $180.

It surprises me that Mark hadn't built a PC before this, he built a rover on Mars before a computer, and he's definitley technically qualified to do that lol

[techlitindia]

I have set up a DIY NAS 5 Years ago in my office besides many power failures due to no UPS it still works great. Kudos to NAS team for freely available this legendary software to the world.

[eldibs]

The added bonus of having everything organized and easy to work with is that once you've done it, it becomes way easier to keep it that way.

[krish]

Mark Rober seems like a pretty smart guy. He should try getting a job at NASA!

[anthonymiller]

Adding a small fan to an HBA is not as optional as one might assume. I was getting random parity errors in unraid until I added a small fan to the heatsink on the HBA. The disks checked out fine but kept getting errors, sometimes more, sometimes less. And now after adding the fan its fine. Similar to Gen5 M.2 controllers, sometimes heat just makes for errors even tho it still "works". Obviously case airflow will play a role as well.

[point]

Hell yes! Finally LTT mentions tailscale... If only they did a deep dive into it. Such an awesome way to do remote management

[ShadiFagihi]

Jake keep impress me with his knowledge day by day, I’m glad he’s Linus’s right hand, he’ll be big one day.

[chem_e_markmark]

Mark’s productivity will increase so much that he’ll be able 2 videos a year.
