its sexy

I don't think a human lives long enough to watch 70 TB of movies.

 

[burnley14]

Cool I guess, but why?

 

[jhansonxi]

That's quite a warez server.

More interestingly, what are all those drives connected to? My mobo only has 6 sata ports and even if he's using multiple mobos, its amazing that he can make them all talk to each other.

 

[gekko668]

Damn that's a lot of bootlegged movies. In your face MPAA!

 

[im_thelumberjack]

I wonder what kind of RAID he has them set up as.

3 24 port Sata raid cards could do this

or one of these Adaptec RAID 52445 as it can hold 256 drives

Wouldn't a few BIG fans move more air than all those little ones? Also, I'm pretty sure with netflix, I could fill that up in a year or two. Maybe less if its 1080p content.

This must be where they store the internet.

Destroys my 10 Terabyte home server...lol

Looks at at first but when it comes to hard drives I have become some what an expert and mounting as he have done is a no no especially knowing that most drive manufacturers have skimped on quality. To be more specific the spindle motor. When mounted horizontally all the weight of the platters is evenly distributed on the bearings producing even wear that is predictable. How ever mounting as he have done shortens the life of drive spindle by mounting them vertically ware the weight is unevenly distributed on the bearings producing wear that causes bearings on one side to prematurely fail sooner than they would have normally and also it produces more noise as they age. Second it is no surprise why he/she needed all those fans as the cabinet isn't absorbing and dissipating the heat from the drives as a normal cabinet would.

I wounder if this is the same Russian with all those CPU?

 

[dogman_1234]

Let us see:

2 TB HDD=~150 USD
70/2=45

45x150= 6750 USD+9/fan=7110 USD

This is heavy!

 

[Guest]

Fire hazard much? Guess not with all those fans...

 

[mr_tuel]

I would have used a box fan. cheaper and easier.

 

[Guest]

It's seemingly really russian made, meaning not very efficient!
I'm surprised he did not make it out of a rusted, half chipped gray painted, drawer or something.

If he closes the sides, create a square tube, 9 fans would suffice creating an airflow from the bottom through the cabinet.
It's just harddrives to cool, not CPU's.
