@@jjpark98 Not exactly. Pretty much all the phantoms CAN record directly to the cinemags, but not at its max framerate. If you want to max out 1000fps at 4K resolution, you need to record to RAM which is limited to 128 gigs. When they use Destin's camera, the v2512, they can record at higher framerates because it has a 288 gig RAM. So every slow mo shot, including failures and multiple takes is 100-300 gigs. With an average of 12 slow mo shots per video, you have 1.2 TB of Slow mo per video. But, there's more to it. To edit the footage, Gavin needs to transcode it, which generates even bigger files than the raws.

@@wertin200 There are diminishing returns for higher resolutions.

6:13 The tape library for the mainframe at NCS (later NCS/Pearson) had 2 sections (and was later replaced by automated robots). Section 1 was 70,000+ of their "then semi-recent" 50 Meg tapes (3.5 PetaBytes), Section 2 (long term backup) was about 30,000. It DID occupy most of a rather large room, but the mainframe itself was also in there - and the chillers, and the Leibart backup UPSs (that were themselves diesel generator backed up).... I spent several months there when I first started at NCS (before the Pearson buyout) as one of the 6 folks that pulled tapes from the library and fed the several tape drives, via crt displays mounted to the ceiling saying "this tape to this drive" (2 people per shift, normally only Monday-Friday, weekends the computer operators normally did that job on top of their own, as it was a LOT slower).
It is actually just 0.0003 %. Google has about one zetabyte of combined storage capacity as of 2020. So it is 3 *1E15 / 1E21 * 100 which is 0.0003%. Imagine all the pr0n Google can store.

A problem just big enough to require tearing the room apart to fix it - so why not overhaul the joint while you're at it and help to future proof for a little while longer The old server room was great for what they needed at the time, but it wasn't a ground up design to begin with so had several compromises already.
4:51 Given that the origins of the Storinator was the Backblaze "Pod", that routinely uses CONSUMER grade drives instead of server drives, you didn't need to worry about the "ratings" being an issue. And 45 drives has added more vibration damping than the original Backblaze Pod4 design they were originally based on.
I work for a software defined storage company which enables our customers to build private cloud storage in the multi-Petabyte range, and it’s infinitely scalable. I’m currently building a storage system with nearly 500 18TB drives for a total of 8.8PB storage plus 18x NVMe drives which will all be used for storing CT scanner imaging data. Not one of our biggest systems, but it’s really cool to have a job where I get paid to build this kind of stuff, and I know my work will be saving lives.

Now I'm not taking the time to properly research any of this because 1) I don't care enough to do so, and 2) Even if I did and I was somehow in the wrong, that just means that in 10 years I can expect my storage space on PC to go from 8TB->80TB+ which just sounds awesome and I don't mind being wrong.

That is not what MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) means. It is a statistical mean of the distribution across which all such drives will fail.

Drives... Hard 😂
Ba dum tis
Ok, Linus, correct me if I'm wrong with this, but if this is just 3 Petabytes of storage, imagine what 1 Geopbyte of storage will look like. You would need a PC the size of an entire room for that, and MULTIPLE power sources. Like you'd probably need solar panels, home electricity, wind generated electricity, like you would need a LOT of power for that. Plus a lot of space in your house.
the title should be
"I fooled SeaGate into giving me 3 PETABYTES of storage!"
Even Microsoft does not have this amount of storage...
@@speedyboishan87 you vastly underestimate the storage consumption of large tech companies. Google, Microsoft, and Facebook all have multiple exabytes of storage and multiple datacentres. A measly 3 PB is a drop in the bucket.
Channel Max UK you sure about that?
@@xnite_2067 I am just joking, all tech corporations have masses of storage, and TV studios such as BBC, ITV, CH4 and so on, it's required to store and retrieve data without it it would have been difficult.

In the 50s a petabyte of storage would need a building the size of 10,000 football fields to hold the drives. 70 years later. This man has 3 on his desk
6:08 My heart just stopped. All I could picture was The Great Wall Of Storage falling over as Linus leaned into it.
or the desk breaking down on the weight...
I was thinking the same. Linus king of drops was about to make the biggest drop ever
Also not sure that the drives at the bottom of the pile particularly like having to support the weight of the rest. The 225 drives weigh about 150 kg, there are 21 drives at the bottom, so that about 6-7 kg on top of each bottom drive

The tape library for the mainframe at NCS (later NCS/Pearson) had 2 sections (and was later replaced by automated robots).
Section 1 was 70,000+ of their "then semi-recent" 50 Meg tapes (3.5 PetaBytes), Section 2 (long term backup) was about 30,000.
It DID occupy most of a rather large room, but the mainframe itself was also in there - and the chillers, and the Leibart backup UPSs (that were themselves diesel generator backed up)....
I spent several months there when I first started at NCS (before the Pearson buyout) as one of the 6 folks that pulled tapes from the library and fed the several tape drives, via crt displays mounted to the ceiling saying "this tape to this drive" (2 people per shift, normally only Monday-Friday, weekends the computer operators normally did that job on top of their own, as it was a LOT slower).
When 5 terabytes feels like 5 kilobytes.
When $1000 feels like $1

Not one of our biggest systems, but it’s really cool to have a job where I get paid to build this kind of stuff, and I know my work will be saving lives.

Now I'm not taking the time to properly research any of this because 1) I don't care enough to do so, and 2) Even if I did and I was somehow in the wrong, that just means that in 10 years I can expect my storage space on PC to go from 8TB->80TB+ which just sounds awesome and I don't mind being wrong.

That is not what MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) means. It is a statistical mean of the distribution across which all such drives will fail.
