The Sixteen Terabyte* File Server

(Filmed Oct 2023) The most insane budget file server gets an upgrade. Every file you've ever created, saved or downloaded, at the click of the mouse (on Everything Search). The 16 (erm ackshually its 14TB due to formatting and less due to proper raid setup) File Server.
Since the windows search sucks, I ALWAYS use a search program called "Everything", which pre-indexes the entirety of all your drives for instant searching. You can download it here: www.voidtools.com/

Quite refreshing to see a genuine classic style video in a sea of people trying to out-do each other from a technical production standpoint!

Very cool contraption. I managed to throw something similar together in an old eMachines with the most miserable single core Athlon 64, 2GB DDR2 and a 2x10GbE SFP card. Tossed in a Toshiba 16TB and Whitelabel 4.9TB HDD for a total of ~20TB. Runs Windows Server 2016 Core. I'm sure the Core2Duo runs circles around it but this is enough for my needs. Handles a local only SQL/.NET web archive and some games now that everything is CGNAT'd all to hell these days. Runs the iSCSI backend for all my Steam and Epic libraries. Handles the ingest for file shares and long term photo, video, music, 3D model, ISO, emu, VM and book storage for everything I archive. Does all the extremely heavy lifting for always on Internet file shares. Boots from a 16GB flash key. The SFP is a feature of consequence since I lose network activity way more often than tolerable and 10GbE is a more than suitable bandwidth guarantee. Kind of surprised it works with this era of tech too. You might have the same favorable outcome with this.

seems legit, reminds me my old old videos. did you mark ecc server memory as bad bc they didnt work on normal motherboard or they are bad like broken ?

@tentimesfriday 3 ай бұрын

I haven't gotten around to testing those 2 sticks in another motherboard but it's my guess as to why I got the mobo so cheap? The seller might've heard the beeps and assumed it was broken and sold it as "untested". Just my guess tho.

Better idea could be setting it as 2x4TB + 2x4TB in second NAS as backup.

@NullStaticVoid 3 ай бұрын

yeah that is colossally stupid. You may have "backups" but how often do you sync changes from the raid array to the small discs? Unless you do this every day you will lose something. It's better to have a 12TB with fault tolerance than 16TB without. I used to screw around with half solutions until I lost an important project. I've run a raid server ever since. I have one raid array that is 10 years old. I've changed out every drive in it due to failure. But lost NO data. Didn't have to dick around with backing up to bare drives either.

@tentimesfriday 3 ай бұрын

Fair enough, I originally set this up in 2022 when I got the drives with no prior research (my original thought was that I would somehow end up actually using 16 tb for some reason). I usually back up during important projects otherwise just every week or so. I'll redo the raid setup later but for now thanks for your input.
