The JBODs and the head server are here which means it's FINALLY time to deploy the mother of all archival storage solutions, housing up to 270 hard drives. EEEEK.

    We all know Linus' real endgame is having enough storage to finally upload his consciousness into a machine, then he can run LTT in perpetuity as a sentient AI that constantly drops database tables
  • With the rate that Linus is going, he'll make a seperate channel talking about all his servers
  • @tehpanda64
    It is always so great to see big name content creators/tech wizards like Jake Tech Tips and Anthony Media Group collaborate with young and upcoming screw driver enthusiasts like Linus.
  • @brettearl1382
    As a server engineer, every time I watch Linus and Jake work on servers I cry a little inside. Please, for the love of your HR department and your own health, please purchase a server lifter. You spend big money on lots of things, this will save your backs and potentially Linus' body if he keeps choosing to lie under servers... I also love the change management Normal Company: I need to raise a change with 5 business days lead time with install and back out plans, passed by Change Advisory Board and approved by change manager\service control manager. Notice sent out to all impacted users. LTT: YO GUYS IM CHANGING STUFF, GET OFF THE DISKS!!!
  • @HEADSHOTKILL1
    Linus: The weight of this heavy server isn’t being supported Also Linus: Yeah I’m just gonna rest my head under it.
  • @TrueNAS
    ZFS for the win! Great pick guys! This time we know your data is safe (unless someone drops a server)!
  • @MatthiasClan
    Might I recommend the acquisition of hydraulic table carts. Makes transferring heavy things like that from different heights much easier and safer for both the equipment and your staff.
  • I love how professional these videos are… right up until they start installing things
  • @Shadepariah
    Hope Wendell can do a video on how he restored some of Linus's bit-rotted files. I've never made this mistake but it would be interesting to see the repair.
  • @jasonlib1996
    honestly i love the server content more than the typical videos. because its legit just linus and jake spending a day nerding out and having a laugh while they do it. and this server stuff is far more interesting than another overpriced gaming pc
  • @grdprojekt
    13:30 always love when Linus & Jake "playing" around with the server, comes the time to shut the server down and had to hesitantly tell the editors. But this episode comes with a twist lol
  • 17:45 Linus be like: "Yeah let me just lay here under a sever with 60 drives in it that isn't mounted correctly and play with the mounting hardware. Not that it could just fall down and will splash my head."
  • you know, when I worked in Inventec, we had lifting thingies for carrying servers, so you could just adjust height and slide even full 150gk 4u server in and out of test rack by yourself without help, no matter if it was almost on ground level or 2m high (it wasn't in regular racks, it was more like store shelves with rails, so putting in and pulling out servers was easy) I bet logistics guys would love this thing
  • Jake's job is so cool. He gets to design and build these amazing projects for Linus and spare no expense you normally would. With the house and everything he does at the office hes become my favorite face on LTT.
  • @Garfuck
    I think Linus needs help, this whole storage thing becomes like an addiction. I don't think there's enough storage in the world to satisfy Linus' hunger for more.
  • @Level1Techs
    Love you too <3 You can still zfs send an encrypted dataset here, thousands of miles away, for.. backups.. because... yay backups... especially extra backups.. and stuff
  • Can’t forget the fire in the old old server rooms and how many you guys had it was crazy but did a very nice recovery on that one
  • @hanshix
    Cool stuff! I love these techy server vids, especially when it shows exactly what LMG are using on-site.
