We've built a LOT of crazy servers, but when Supermicro asked us to not rebuild one of the storage servers for the Petabyte of flash project, well, we had to do just the opposite!

    Jake: "I installed thousands of CPU's" David: "yeah i know, but that guy dropped half of those"
  • @bargiona
    After Linus mistaking NVMe over fabrics (NVME-oF) with optic so many times, we deserve a techquickie explaining the basics and underlining the differences.
  • @chix1
    It's crazy that I've watched Linus do tech shit for 10 years but I still trust Jake to install anything infinately more
  • You know, Linus actively generates HUGE amounts of anxiety in me whenever he removes components. Jeezus.
  • @Steven13131123
    The way Linus aggressively yanks things that cost thousands of dollars apart will never not make me wince
  • @dirkdigital
    Linus is like a 6-year-old tearing into Christmas gifts at full speed. Yanking wires and knocking drives off the table, while Jake is the patient parent who keeps telling his toddler to slow down.
  • Linus has been particularly energetic lately. He's clearly in a happy place.
  • @Xavierpng
    Ah Jake, the man of culture, informing Linus of the fabled “spit roast” technique.
  • @Hellspooned2
    Linus: "They Told Me NOT to Do This..." Me: Obviously they've seen your videos.
  • @brammy05
    You could easily fit more sponsors in this video
  • @nickyhr
    Seeing Linus pull on everything the way he did both made me laugh and made my stomach fall trough my body from pain...
  • @bamzilla1616
    I'm deploying a HA cluster at work in a couple weeks. So this series has totally got me hooked and I'm not jealous at all.
  • @mitcHELLOworld
    Guys - it reallllllly looks like you weren't actually benchmarking your ZFS array in FIO tests at the end... If you look at your terminal, you are running the fio tests from within the root directory (/root) which is on your intel NVMe device........... That would explain the low 4k random WRITE IOPS... So, while you may have set metadata only for the ARC for your NVMe array, I doubt you did that for your boot device - That means your read performance numbers of 20GiB/s is most likely just you benchmarking your ARC (memory) performance.
  • @mng5334
    11:28 bruh the anxiety i got when he got water near an open motherboard...
  • @Atticore
    the production value is a big part of what makes these videos. you wouldn't really think much of it, but it's super helpful when they highlight relevant key information on text heavy screens, like when highlighting the IOPS speed in that terminal screen. these videos are more than just informative; they're extremely entertaining and digestible.
  • @sebastianslapek
    I've been watching Linus for about 13 years (good NCIX times). I am now 27, working in datacenter for 3 years. Love how this content is keeping up with me
  • Man, Jake is great. Banters with Linus, knows his stuff, good voice and presenter. Moar Jake!
  • @marcusford6630
    I really love the server type videos. Keep bringing them on.
  • @jthoward
    This is such an awesome series! Thanks to all the companies that put their very expensive eggs in this particular basket
