 Do you guys have any idea what's in there? We got fiber freaking networking 25 gigabit per second the only problem is that we're gonna need a way faster Not to mention bigger server in order for all of our editors to use it. Thankfully Didn't wanna didn't want to slam these these are very expensive. We've got just that we are gonna be rolling a hundred terabytes of PCI Express Gen 4 storage on a 100 gigabit per second fiber optic network connection today and it's going to be a blast like Save time and money with storyblocks storyblocks gets you studio quality stock video clips for a fraction of the price Check it out today at the link in the video description Description We'll be sliding this baby into our racks soon enough But before we do I want to give you guys a quick tour of what liquid calls the badger den Now liquid is a specialist in composable PCI Express infrastructure and high-speed storage And this is about as high-speed storage as it freaking gets in here. We've got two 64 core 128 thread AMD epic server processors one terabyte of 3200 megahertz ECC registered memory and a whopping Seven PCI Express Gen 4 expansion slots back here five of which are actually full height Allowing us to hook up what liquid calls the honey badger and then do it four more times That's right We can have a total of up to five of these carrier boards that are each capable of handling up to eight Gen 4 m.2 drives for absolutely Mind-blowing speeds then I feel like I'm on like a cooking show. I got my mixing bowl. I got my Ingredients over here. I got my pre-made thing for at the end we're only going to be assembling one of these but it's really important to show you guys how they go together because This right here in a storage server is obviously the key ingredient the storage Sabrin sent over 32 of their four terabyte rocket NVMe drives and we chose these ones specifically for a couple of reasons Number one we could have gone with eight terabyte drives But those use QLC NAND and in an application like a server Even one that's going to be written to relatively frequently. We don't want to use QLC That's going to wear out faster Why we went Gen 3 versus Gen 4 is that a the Gen 4 drives top out at just? 2TB per stick which would have our capacity and to I mean we can only hook up at most 100 gigabit per second network card and then twin it for 200 gigabit per second even running Gen 3 on these things We're gonna be so far beyond that that it's not even funny. So we'd rather have the extra capacity man This is crazy like thinking back to when I built our first company storage server We had one terabyte drives and they were this big. Were they SSDs? No, they were magnetic drives Oh, yeah, it was almost nine years ago Jake. Yeah, it's like one of those Down down down down down down down down down This is our big ol heat spreader for this puppy. Oh, just lay it down and then I got just laid down. Oh Jesus Look at this. This is a hundred and what? 128 terabytes of raw storage 128 terabytes It's like a storage sandwich, you know without networking though These are pointless cuz we'd have no way to access them. That is where this comes in This is a connect X 6 100 gigabit per second Network card with not one but two 100 gigabit ports on it. That's right a total of up to 20 gigabytes per second and I'm rounding which doesn't work when the numbers get so big so it's like 24 25 gigabytes a second or something like that. It's flipping nuts 25 Yeah, and I got a bury it because the half height slots are way in the back of the thing here They're in the bottom you got it. You got a dig dig them out You got to excavate one of the sick things about AMD Epic is that because it uses PCI Express Gen 4 You can actually get the full capabilities out of a card like this If you were using PCI Express Gen 3 your slot would not actually be fast enough to keep up with both of these Ports being used fully at the same time Freaking nuts, right a PCI Express 16x slot. That's for like graphics cards while we've got this opened up It's a good opportunity to show you guys how expansion can be handled a little differently in servers on your motherboard All the ports are built in on this one Actually, it's these interfaces back here that lead to all of the IO So this daughter board right here does two gigabit network ports this one right here does four But these could easily be swapped out for other ports if the customer wanted a different configuration And then this last one over here is what Dell calls their iDRAC So this is our management port a USB 3 port and of course VGA out so that you can hook it up to a display if you really want to and then back here look at these puppies That's not your conventional PCI Express lot, but it definitely carries the same signal so you can actually take yes this guy right here and That is what wires up to these PCI Express 16x slots that we're using for Our storage cards storage, excuse me network card and well one of them storage for our boot drive Now We fill it with badgers. We're actually not quite filling it we could put in one more badger But there was a limit to liquid and Sabrent's generosity the limit was 128 terabytes I was like Okay Okay, got a little bit of stress here. Okay got a little bit of stress if I break these I do not have an easy way to replace them. We could just call Dell you know yeah Yeah, I might sell some warranties though. How about the warranty like if something goes wrong either with the hardware or software? Well that went so well. I think I'll do it again. Oh my god. I see what they mean by the cables being fragile They're not even there's no connector What the hell is this look at how small the wires are too what the heck? Isn't that terrifying? There it is Theoretically, that's it We're ready to roll this thing And this thing's heavy It's got a handle back here though, so you can just like carry it Something that doesn't have hard drives in it though. It's like it's got some heft. I'm gonna need a hand so hey Jake You ready to roll this thing? I guess is this handle actually a handle? I'm going for it. I'm going to let go and you just carry it I kind of want to try I Mean I guess we should it's our responsibility Responsibility oh just we're reviewing this chassis right all right. Hey go. Well. What was that? Okay? You gotta take you guys You can't you can't it's too heavy What's up, Ells and G's check this out look at them pretend to work when we walk in look at that This is it We're actually doing it this time. This is new new Wannock. It's not gonna have 20 terabytes It's not gonna have 40 terabytes. It's gonna have a hundred terabytes of storage. Oh wow so we don't have to delete anything ever No, that's not what I said. It's gonna have more storage though, and and it'll be more reliable Jake promises Shake I was expecting them to be more excited Hey, David watch this is the world's fastest server Imagine if he tripped now Well this is not as permanent home. That's why there's no actual rails in here We're actually gonna put it here in place of old Wannock We never actually deployed new Wannock because we continue to have problems with it, so this is Officially I am christening it new new Wannock Wannock 3 new new Wannock Wannock you know what new new one new new Wannock see you later old Wannock and And you knew Wannock yeah, that thing was we already created our storage space and this is it suckers a 104 flippin Terabytes see it needs a minute here. It's got to check how much capacity we got what's my free space I don't know there's so much you tell them what kind of parity or yeah, right? We're running just Single drive failure protection single parity and the reason for that hold on hold on the reason for that is that this server? We'll be doing by the minute backups to another local server And then every probably hour or so it'll be backing up off-site So we're not really worried about like the drives failing bricking the data plus the rest of these so like Failures are a lot less common should be fine. Oh yeah there it is 100 gigabit, holy Wait is it gonna is it gonna show is it gonna show me a big number? Now a lot of people get confused when we show numbers like this so like um you can't even get internet that fast Oh my god. I'm so tired of explaining it. That is not the point. That's not the point. It's a local network We can get these speeds to local machines Also, we have 10 gig internet so like we're gonna use a significant chunk of that so you know of course to transfer at those kinds Of speeds on the local network you need some sick Transceivers so these are all of these server and transceivers that we're gonna be using these are 25 gigabit from FS calm Massive shout out to those guys great compatibility great performance, and did I mention the price? So good freaking awesome, so we're gonna plug in these ends then we're gonna go hook up all the editing machines And we're gonna do a live test some problem edslyago production manager for Linus Media Group calm Dennis can't seem to access the water Hmm interesting well hey Good news we're replacing it right now so is it gonna work as well as The old one I used to work to it should work better than it ever used to work. Oh, that's the plan so give me like Ten minutes, so it should never do anything like this. I mean okay. I don't know about Jake is staking his reputation on it Yeah, I don't know if I wait I didn't Why are you downloading beyond compare why you just use cho easy copy? I'm not using cho easy copy easy copy so good though. I love beyond compare, and I trust it So that's how this is gonna be new plan. We're going back to our good friend cho easy coffee It sounds so stupid, but it's it's one of the only multi-threaded Just directory take all this stuff and dump it over their programs. It's actually Really robust and we're getting no you I think three gigabytes a second Yeah, so that's like 20 to 30 gigabit Which when you consider that we're plugged into a 40 gigabit network adapter on the old one excide Is it a hundred yeah, but it's like either way It's still empty and it's like being used right now. Yeah, we can try more threads. I Think it's okay. I'm up Yeah, it looks pretty that looks pretty toaster if it right there I mean we maxed out at 3.2 gigabytes a second 2.4 gigs a second dang Now that's hot it's acid test time, and I actually like marks initial comment So we're gonna we're gonna interview him about the performance first. Yeah, it's not bad Okay, so so wait what happens in a multi cam clip normally so usually what happens is press play yeah, and then I'll Stop and then it will keep going a couple of seconds Oh, oh wait, so we actually have a tangible workflow improvement I guess you could say that if you want to justify it Wow that wasn't my actually wasn't my intention We thought we were just adding like more storage. So this is like improving latency. Is this a noticeable difference? Yeah nice No, this isn't something that we had tested We knew the latency is better, but like it's not something that we were like yes We know that this will work better Yeah, and we didn't know that it was gonna have like a very real-world like tangible difference. We were just hoping It's sort of but we were sort of mostly hoping for improved stability and then also adding the capacity Something that we know from past experience is that when you have like a latency spike in terms of storage access on your remote server It can cause not just one person's premiere to crash But like the entire editing den all at once will just go down So the tighter we can keep those latencies the better and that means both networking and storage have to be as fast as possible Does it feel better? Yeah, that's actually like I'm playing at half-rise But everything actually feels really snapping like Mark said normally when you play a multi-cam sequence It'll just run away from you. But you know, this is actually stopping my jaw is like my mouth is like I know can't see it I just like a mic Wait, you can't tell I know I was like I was I couldn't I wasn't even hoping for like an actual performance improvement I was just like well, we'll just like show lots of people editing 8k at the same time and we'll be like, yeah That's great. But hey, it's even better. Yes You're not supposed to tell them that damn it well what Any thoughts Dennis? I'm playing you full Okay, but that's that's more of like a system bottleneck is this 8k or 12k Brandon That's 8k. Okay. Is that 8k red or black magic black magic? Okay. It's pretty good Yeah, why is yours handling it and poor mark system checked mark system always has sucked I don't know why Ah, okay. Oh, yeah. Okay. You want to do that? Let's see. Yeah quarters actually pretty good. I have what he can't hear And program and remember we've got everybody else hitting this same project at the same time This is on the new thing. I can like go around Damn, damn, damn This project is on the old one. Oh, you've got it off and on both servers right now. What a pro Oh, yeah, you see look at that. There you go Wow, okay, hold on What Okay, that's you gonna have that gen 4 baby cuz remember actually Hoffman's only testing one aspect of the upgrade right now because both of those servers are running at a hundred gig right now so That's actually just just the honey badger. Just that honey badger power honey badger. Don't give a fuck. He said so many times this video It's great. All right. So good job everyone Good job, Jake. Good job editors. Keep at it socially distanced Fist bump or whatever. So all that's left is to thank everyone who helped with this project Jake the editing team for you guys can actually go back to whatever you want need to do now. Thank you very much guys Of course liquid for providing the server and their honey badgers micron for sending over their memory Fs.com for all the transceivers Melanox excuse me. I mean Nvidia for the high-speed networking gear man those cards are so freaking sick and am I missing anyone and Sabrent right for sending over all the drives a hundred terabytes it's so fast and Infinite cables. Thanks for the cables guys and right our sponsor for the video story blocks gets you studio quality stock video clips for a Fraction of the cost and you can download all the stock video your heart desires from their member library including HD and 4k footage After Effects templates motion backgrounds and more we use it quite a bit on tech quickie and all the content is royalty free So you can use it for personal projects like YouTube videos or commercial projects like well for us YouTube videos are also commercial but new clips are added regularly. So there's always something fresh to download So why wait check it out today at the link in the video description If you guys enjoyed this video you might enjoy the more in-depth Look at both our high-speed networking as well as the high-speed storage with the honey badgers that we did with that server as a preview to this Those were theoretical though. I'm really glad that it's actually working once we deployed it Oh All I gotta say is new Wannock You mean new new one. Oh, no, no, no new Wannock. Yeah, you wanna that thing new new Wannock That's where it's at one of three new new Wannock. Oh
