My dream FINALLY came True! - Petabyte Project Recovery Part 2

What better way to recover our lost data than to build a single server with over a PETABYTE of storage (1200TB)?!

Check out 45Drives at the links below

Buy Seagate 20TB Exos Drives

Buy AMD EYPC 7402P CPU

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

Linus in 2016: loses data
Also linus: this will never happen again
Linus in 2022:

[thetalesofdaneandco]

I get hyped for seeing more of the long-term projects at LMG/LTT, like Petabyte Project/Server Room stuff, Pyramid PC and Linux Challenge.

[thexgamer]

I can’t wait to see the result of this project.

Also, the bot destroyer seems to be working well.

[drakonua]

Can't wait until 15 years later when there's going to be "The Exabyte Project", which theoretically can fit 1000(or 1024) of these petabyte servers in the same space

[Artista_Frustrado]

1 Petabyte of Data: $37k
lacking an IT department: $0
Linus making multiple Petabyte project videos: Priceless

[dmitryburlakov]

Not sure about IT department but what you guys REALLY need is a montage of every hard drive locked in with nice clicking sound like they do on LEGO building channels. 100% satisfaction guaranteed.

[Insanity_Crow]

IT person interviewing for job: What is your data retention policy?
Linus: Yes
IT:How many years?
Linus: Yes

[farkasambrus]

Linus 2 years ago: "Why you DON'T want a 20TB Hard Drive"


Linus now: Buys 60 20TB Drives

[JamesScholesUK]

PSA: zfs also lets you add in a hot spare that will _automatically_ replace a failed drive. You can configure it to be the hot spare for multiple zpools. When a drive fails, it drops itself into the array to restore parity, then when you've replaced/fixed the bad drive it'll go back to being a spare until the next time it's needed.

[NoahBuehler]

Didn't Linus say in Wanshow at some point that "No one would want 20Tb harddrives?" Because of their sata interface it will take stupidly long to rebuild parity drives in case of a failure. So it would be quite likely that another drive fails during the rebuild. But hey I guess another data loss will make for more content that they don't have to plan.

[Burssty]

Guys, I'm absolutely loving the fact that you have a new Petabyte project but please get a new IT guy.
As an entire team of people who are well-versed at networking and computers, it doesn't make sense to get an IT guy at first, but in the grand scheme of things, you need someone who's able to attend to that equipment 24/7

[codyleeeod]

Old Linus: Oh noes, we lost data because we did not have sufficient redundancy to overcome our poor preventive maintenance habits.
New Linus: Lets deploy a new cluster, with even more storage to maintain, but with less redundancy, and then have the same people manage it.

[Reaperman]

Less than 2 years from now, Linus will be doing another 'we sad' video because this new device was neglected into oblivion just like the last two. 😂

[michaelfisher]

linus: "why would anyone buy a 20TB HDD"
also linus: buys 60x 20TB HDDs

[danieljensen]

Lol, I literally remember Linus saying like 4-5 years ago that he would never want a 20TB hard drive because if it fails in a raid it would take way too long to rebuild it.

[blakerhyan]

Probably one of my favourite LTT episodes purely because of the back and forth between Linus and Jake 😂 just like my boss and I at work. I love it.

[fyndoro]

LINUS you just need an IT guy 😂 OR AN IT TEAM

[morn]

Perfect storage for taking a 1MB selfie every 3 seconds for ...100 YEARS! :/

[JarrodsTech]

5:36 I found that too, I ended up getting EXOS drives cheaper from the US imported to Australia than the NAS grade stuff was anywhere... wut

[JonLimitless]

I can't wait for them to hire an actual IT person and they tell Linus & Jake everything was done wrong.
