How does this faggot fill up 1PB of storage of shitty Youtube videos? WTF

Just put this shit in near-line or cold storage in gcs and call it a day. Even to keep our ES backups for a month for one cluster with 100-300 terabytes of transfer every month, while keeping on average 150TB in store with little usage is only 1-2k/mo. I doubt he's transferring that much regularly or has that much to store to host all this shit.

I noticed 1440p downscaled to 1080p on youtube is sooo much better than just straight choosing 1080p. Of course it's not that the resolution itself is crap, it's youtube's fault they process 1080p videos to look like shit.

But 1440p is enough, you don't really gain anything more if you go for 4K in this case.

yes, a fully functioning MEDIA company will re-download their own content and pass it through an upscaler. Are you literally retarded?

This is another 'NEET complains about linus tech tips to seem cool on Jow Forums' thread.

cope

It's 8k uncompressed studio red files. 1hr is about 540gb

Seems retarded to keep everything like that
Even movie studios get rid of data that wont be profitable to hold

how often is a movie studio going to refer to old footage?

who gives a fuck, people would still watch his videos even if anthony's greasy hair looked like a minecraft skin

There are lossless or nearly-lossless video codecs. Worst case, they could cut their files by half, but they prefer to add more storage. Welp, more data to lose when it fails.

Why does he keep all the drives in a single server room?

For his operation adding arrays is cheap so why not just keep everything.

That's ridiculously pointless

He's petty, he has to have the "best" of everything so naturally he's going to store terabytes of pointless footage that he'll most likely never use again just because it's losless

"Linus Media Group"

Because they save all their old 8k raw footage and want instant access to thousands of terabytes of data. They would be better off using lto tapes and a 100tb nvme file server. I'm starting to think they have the most of their server stuff mainly just to make a video on it and gain equipment from sponsors.

Tbh there are cloud services that run reasonably cheap for low usage archival arrays. Since they have a 10gbe fiber connection they would move most of their workload to ec2 instances and a least authority S4 archive.

this made me kek, but even if that was true LTT will do just about anything to spend thousands on storage or hardware, so this isn't anything "unnecessary" so much as extra content.
Plus it's too late to backpedal on their 8k red footage storage plan.

unironically based and correct

why doesn't he have magnetic tapes.
why is his so shit looking?

exactly like his whole channel

Yeah that's exactly it, they don't give a shit how inefficient their set up is because they're covered with a shit ton of sponsorships and it gives them video content for when this shit inevitably fucks up

this is the real answer

/thread

I understand keeping everything for reference, but why bother with an incredibly expensive RAID setup?

If you only need them for occasional use, why not get a cheap tape drive?

oh look, its retarded. how about you go back to eating your tide pods.

I have 2,990 videos download from youtube, that weigh ~353GB

With 1PB i could storage based my calculations, at least ~8,470,255 videos from youtube.

>dont feel like counting the time of the videos for 1 Pb, but mostly of my videos are 3 to 5 mins(music), have 2 or 3 with 2 hours, And some are 1 min.

Youtube porbably uses 1PB of data every hour

You're all just jelly he's the biggest individual data hoarder.

I think I should download some of my favourite videos, I keep getting my playlists hit with deleted videos and it bugs me because I don't know which one it was

Its conceptually annoying to save PB of data where 99% of it will never be used for anything.

They are recording videos at 8k so when they crop it it still keeps a decent quality.

What chroma subsampling?

Cloud storage is boring
Bigass server is cool

This sums up Jow Forums, inefficiency is cool

Why not? Storage is cheap.

That plus disks cost a fuck of a lot more in power than you'd expect.
Especially multiplatter shingled ones.

well to be fair user, you understand that cloud storage is just someone else's server/storage right? I guarantee they still have cloud backups of some of their stuff. Although I will be the first person to agree and say they shouldn't be storing all the RAW 8k rips of their stuff. Just edit and encode, then keep the result

literally had the same thought. The idea they think their videos are important enough to meticulously create over the top local backups is kind of hilarious

>he thinks LTT has to worry about power usage
lmao. Dude is loaded. He has to be to keep his bug-person wife around because money is all they care about and she'd fleece him in a heartbeat.

He hasn't been sponsored by any magnetic tape companies yet ;)

One minute of uncompressed 60fps 4K is almost 12GB

Where the fuck does Linus find these people? Diabeetus over there is celebrating creating a ZFS pool like he just hacked the gibson or some shit. Why can't they just fucking get a server/network infrastructure guy even just on contract every now and then so we don't need to watch them fumble about with bullshit pretending they know what they're doing.

Tape backups make a ton more sense for their use case. I guarantee that they'll never access 99.99% of their archive data a second time.

faggot not everyone is genius like you. Also Im sure they are happy to get it done. I fucking dont really like LTT but there arent really any other alternatives that pump out videos on interesting shit that i probably wont even fucking buy. level1tech is probably the one thats actually worth watch which I do but they dont upload as often.

Chink porn and hentai probably take up a sizable portion of that 1PB

I just vomited in my mouth at this suggestion.

Because it is onsite storage.
Backups are offsite.

>not backuping everything you can
Because of the likes of you we have lost source code.

His cameraman is a retard and should get a fucking tripod
Doesn't change the fact that he records everything in raw 4k

I watch LTT for the storage vids and shit like them vising that data salvaging company.

>yes, a fully functioning MEDIA company will re-download their own content and pass it through an upscaler
you don't watch too much tv.. do you, cunt? fucking hell. tv networks are so fucking lazy and stupid they sometimes have no choice but to source their own shit from youtube and elsewhere because they couldn't be fucked finding it in their archive or it's lost.

please stop advertising here

nobody gives a fucking shit about any youtube e-whore. consider necking yourself.
>He hasn't been sponsored by any magnetic tape companies yet ;)
this faggot gets it 100%. it's all bullshit advertising.

He does

>Just use your bandwidth to connect to your own data and let me hang onto it goyim, that electricity is super expensive!

They have a reason to want to quickly revert to their old footage a lot of the time.

But being able to do different shit with servers is sort of their bread and butter too.

I mean the reality is they'd probably be combining that many drives together in some sort of array for a video anyway, might as well get some good cheap use out of it.

He explains, i think even in the first "project pb" video that he does also use magnetic tape for backups, but those are functionally only back ups.

If one of his video creating teams needs footage from a long time ago, for example when they did the case dust tests, do you think he wants his employees and editors to piss away 5 paid hours waiting for a caset to seek the video clip?

2min for seek, 25min to move from cold to warm storage*

>I think the real lesson here is, Anthony looks DAMN fine in a cowboy hat.

Not as quick as a bunch of HDD's for sure and he has like 20+ employees focused on youtube content. How often do you think they want to pull up a file and then maybe realize it's not really what they needed?

Employee time adds up way quicker than the $10 or whatever per TB he could have saved on storage.

>payment processor fucks up a single time
>SIR YOU HAVE A NEGATIVE BALANCE WE HAVE DELETED ALL OF YOUR FILES

>falling for the widememe
4:3 for lyfe.

does anyone here unironically watch linux dick tips?

Not his normal videos but the ones where his shit breaks and he makes it worse or tries to upgrade his servers and breaks shit are funny. He also does weird shit like watercooling network switches in some videos

They can scrub while it's on tape, so it's mainly the 2min seek time (which is sometimes 2 seconds), but yeah. The other model would be to keep really downressed shit (like 240 or 360p) on the warm storage server for them to scrub through to find exactly what they want and then go cold for that. However, he hasn't structured his workflow that way so the HDD warm and his SSD hot storage makes more sense without the third tier

i have 1080p screen and I don't even watch videos in 1080p.

Why go to the trouble, though? It's not like hard drives are *that* expensive.

gotta do something with all the free shit the industry sends you to review but you can't legally sell or give away

The more you store the cheaper tape becomes

And im sure he does that for his offsite storage solution, but this server is a tool for his employees he buys 3+ thousand dollar computers on. He doesn't want his workers to be bottlenecked by poor performing computing when 70% of his advertising partners are computer parts makers.

Of course, but again why would you go to the trouble for what amounts to pretty paltry savings?
