JR should take up needlework - then he could start WatchJRSew!

If the CPU coolers are passive, don't run the server with the lid off.

The server didn't come with HDD screws? Where did you buy it? The chassis/barebones comes with screws.

"If you lose a drive, you're in trouble"? Are you using true hardware RAID?

What are the specs of the server? CPU, RAM, controller, ?

There are plenty of used racks out there. Check with local universities when the upgrade or businesses that have closed or graded.

They make 16TB & 18TB HDDs now...soon 20TB.

Awesome seeing your storage skills. Still working on flight school too?

@watchjrgo Before you load that thing up with video, I would checkout xpenology. It lets you run Synology DSM on your own hardware. This would be the GOAT for a 70TB home storage array. The interface is way more intuitive, reminds me a lot of Unify (but for storage). Hope this helps.

Awesome, JR! I am a car head and an old nerd! You have just combined both my passions. Keep up the good work, young man! Thank you.

I would absolutely watch a second tech channel. Love tech man, love to see that my car worlds and tech worlds are colliding haha. Keep up the phenomenal work.

I’d love to see a tour of the gaming rig, mining rigs, and anything tech you got bro. Love this stuff.

I'm seriously impressed

Hold on, So You went from IT to Cars? Hell, same here. Also, You might M539 Restorations, who's doing the same in his Free time, and works all the time on BMW's, from E39's, E38's, e46's and even some E31's. But yea, IT and cars, man. Ain't to different, but at least, with older cars you don't have the Headache with all the software related drama as on the Pc's. What's more Stressful for me? IT or Cars? IT for sure, haha, IF it comes to solving a problem at least, and I'm longer in IT than on cars, tbh.

Racks are cheap and plentiful on facebook and Craigslist. Just sold my 42U with a couple if shelves for $150. I wasn't going to take up room in the moving truck. Trying to get rid of my 1U ans 2U servers now.

Jr can ugive a tour of my exes as it take u the rest of uf life

O'reilley's run for server screws.. pick up some 9 mm accel cables to improve the throughput of the drives.

You look like Jason Kander’s twin

300K AMA?

Where I work we have around 100 pedibytes and counting. The electrical bill is somewhere around $100,000 a month. Using like 3 or 4 megawatts and an insane amount of A/C and building space.

That is an awesome box of HHD's. Noice!

I don't think the Wizard has bays available to rent because of all of Hoovie's projects, plus the yacht... Anyway, I'm a big Synology fan, installed a couple of their midrange NAS devices and they are pretty bulletproof. If memory serves, one of them got killed due to a power surge, and I just popped the drives into a new one, set up the software, and everything worked out of the box.

The build looks awesome. The noise, wow! It sounds like a monster starting up and will be the ultimate media server. You can add more later, which is great.

I regulalrly watch your channel, hadn't pegged you for a computer guy, but I really don't know why not. Cool setup you got there. I recently saved an old IBM server with about 20 TB's, more than enough for what I need. Was able to bump it up to Windows 10 without a problem. Cool, BIG ASS unit to mess with. Upgradable to 2 seperate CPU's and like 12 slots for ram. It's a monster, and needs TWO power cords on the back. (Though it will run on just one. Has two slot-style 750 watt PSU's)

Sounds like an aircraft engine starting up 🤣

If Linus is growing a beard can you?

It was like damn you Jr I need redundancy....angry beeps.

You ever think of just doing the install of the unify equipment on the side?

So weird to see you working with computers... Looks like a crossover of my youtube playlists... Computers and cars lol

Great place to keep massive amounts of corn, or so i hear..

Any relation to Chief John Ross 1807-1839?

I didn't know you were that knowledgeable with computers, really cool. I have a Supermicro server with 24TB of Seagate drives, from my experience I have had less failures of Seagate than WD drives.

dude.. why unraid? Proxmox with all the zfs goodness (including snapshotting) then an lxc of a linux of your choice on top of that running samba/nfs/whatever network sharing you want. This will also give you total flexibility to run whatever else you want on the spare cpu cycles on that machine (for example docker so you can run crashplan and back your 70TB up to crashplan for not very much money a month). It will also let you use sanoid for effortless rolling snapshots and syncoid for effortless and super fast zfs snapshot backups to another zfs box.

Anyone tempted to use a transmission jack to move servers? Or am i the only one? ^____^;

What about AWS? Having it local is the best, but what if you archived your old stuff on AWS and used the 12tb for weekly stuff? Did you do a cost comparison? I realize uploading 12tb of content would take...forever, depending on your internet connection. What kind of bandwidth do you get there? For how much? Upload speeds typically suck, but I have to think there are ways around it if you needed 200mb/sec + upload for a season. Does Tyler have anything like this? Or is he working with a vendor? Do I I have more questions that won't be answered? Yes.

SAAB shirt! Bingo!

Do you have a Patreon?

I thought he was going to build a storage shed

didnt know you did IT in your past! a very nice change of content and hope to see you maybe mix it in some more in the future! awesome stuff

what happened to amber

You were Netapp, I was EMC...

I sure this is Cool if Your a Computer Nerd? LOL

LS swap server

A new basement heater for the winter!

I didn't even know that you were into computing. That's crazy.

WatchJRTechtips

You need supplemental solar panels to help reduce your power bill. Then show how you set it up.

Update on the 67 Camaro??

Oh this awesome, hope you do more of these Tech IT content throughout the Winter WatchJRGo ?

Hope those drives are enterprise drives and not workstation drives. Ubiquiti is a good choice we're working on a project with them right now. Supermicro is a good brand any issues and they'll quickly get you up and running. I sell IT equipment to B2B customers for past oh god 30 years. I remember when memory was $10,000 a module and we loved it, uphill.

You can get big rackmount server racks for around $200 _delivered_ off of Ebay. I'm pretty pleased with mine.

it does have a Gui you just have to tell it it to boot to it in the boot menu

@WatchJRGo how much for the google unit?

put a spoiler on it!

PC STUFF!!

John Ross is a modern day hard worker building cars and building servers

Are you sure you're qualified to do that JR? lol

Linus Called.. he wants his 286 back,,

How about Working on Our SC 430 Lexus AM-posts Aud....., Help Us Repair Items Like Change oil Gaskets you Know How You Fix a car items Before you go to Carmax . Safe-ty Fix. Watch you everyday.

with the price of bitcoin skyrocketing, i really need to get back into mining. i've got a huge solar array thats just giving free electricity back to the electric company

JohnRoss in shorts??? Hhwwwaaattttt?

4 10 gig ports isn't going to do anything for speed unless you get enough spindles and/or ssd/NVMe. Four post 19 inch rack or cabinet? Usually recyclers have those for cheap locally, at least where I am :) . Just don't expose IPMI over WiFi or NAT to the internet. It is permenantly vulnerable. :)

70tb depending on compression won't last as long as he thinks

Oh yay another Ubiquiti fan! Don't run into those too often.

This kid has a bright future 👍🏻

*Seagate hasn't been the same since they bought Maxtor in 2005. Western digital was good but even those don't last. No spinning drive is dependable any more it's like people just gave up on that technology all together. I'm into cars and tech too been at the game 27 years now but all i have cert wise is A+ and all my Dell certifications from when i worked there*

I have know idea what you are talking about, but you make it interesting and and I love how you explain in detail what you are doing.

Awesome to see the new server. Makes me want to do an upgrade. I'm only running an early 45drives storinator running off of an old Xeon X5670. Though I very much like the infiniband cards I'm running compared to the Aquantia 10gb cards that came out in the last couple years. You are probably running some nice intel nics so I doubt you will have the same issues I did.

What happened to ambergeni

You should do as Scotty Kilmer and do a month long video series of how you are packing up all of your junk and relocating to Tennessee.You'll definitely fill those drives in no time⌚ at all.

That's awesome to see a video about servers, finally something I fully understand ! Got a good deal (i.e. free) on a Dell R510, got that working with FreeNAS with 24TB of ZFS storage, the performance is great for CIFS, you can max out twin-1Gbps! Also got a StarTech 24U rack, price was right and it is solid, definitely worth the price

Awesome stuff.

You want a cheap equipment rack, go out behind a radio or TV station and look for an old RCA or Harris rack...ask before horking though...

I always thought that you should use your computer skills. There's a big audience for that. 2nd channel.

I just bought a DS4243 Shelf to SAS into my vCenter cluster. If I ever get to Witchita we need to meetup and nerd out about cars and servers.

I have 2 Synology NAS at home and used them at work too. They are expensive but work great!

Hahaha. Knew there was something IT related rolling around in your head looking at that buses system.

POE your house wired for cameras?

I have 3 42U 4 Post Rolling Compaq Racks sitting in my barn. If you visit me in Tulsa you can have one of them

The day I got out of IT was one of the best days of my life. 25 years doing that stuff was more than enough for me.

Why do we never see Amberginni any more ? Did she leave you?

Where does the trans attach to?

I"m so sorry I missed this! This was my world until I got sick. NOCs, building VMware systems, web servers, email servers, firewalls, etc. I even built an operating system, twice, both custom versions of Linux. Did some work in security, doing Tiger Team stuff...I've worked for both Dell, and HP, the last was managing a testing lab. Lots of fun. Thirty years of computer networking... Love this content, as much as I love installing Arnold on dashboards...:-)

Replay crew! I have a pretty simple network through AT&T Enterprise. Redundant fiber lines, to AT&Ts router, to my personal router, then Wi-Fi to my editing rig. I never save footage. Since AM-posts will allow me to download my videos (only at 720p but I upscale to 1080) I use their infrastructure to house all of my content. Love Linus TT, but I haven't watched in a long time. I moved from a life-long PC builder to Mac when I started seeing major issues in Adobe Pr not utilizing all of my CPU cores, and GPUs on my monster PC build. FCPX will edit, render, and process 10x faster than my PC build could with far less hangs. Granted my iMac was $6K, but hard to put a price on reliability and performance. Cool to see you building a monster storage array, very cool video!!

Lmao can you fix a broken marriage poor guy😂😘😘

DSLRKIT 6/32#6-32 x 1/4in Flat Head Screw for 3.5in Hard Drive Hot Swap Caddy Tray (Pack of 50) on Amazon $5.90

With unraid. You should connect it to your network. Let it boot up. One its where it say about logging in. There will be an ip that is on your local network. Go to that on another pc. Start setting It up from there!

Dang, and I was proud of 16TB lol

you should do a Tech channel.

Hey John ross,. Any good at recovery...vicegrip lost all his future content..can you help!!!!!!!

0:14 dirk-girl.com

Nice break from cars. I'm in IT also, so....good stuff. Thanks.

Installs New 70tb storage server right after touring the full of tech goodies Prevost . . . hmmmm . . . . Wonder if the prevo is a tad lighter now. Then again . . . it could be heavier if you swapped out all your old spinning iron for the SSD's that are/used to be in the bus!

How about doing E30 M3

Where's Amber..winter weather needs Daisy Dukes to warm things up

Why don't we hear about Amberghini any more?

Building my new 70TB storage server ( with parts I found just laying around on the Prevost tour bus )

Knowledge of cars and now servers?? You are a genius

Guessing that's gonna up the ole electric bill a bit!

Man, I'd love to see more of this tech stuff in conjunction with the cars!
