Man, I just geeked out hardcore...
Wow, that's a lot of hard drives...
Great video!
Does anyone want to re-build this thing and try Ubuntu on it? If so, my fees will be extraordinarily reasonable; just provide the hardware, some food and coffee, and a well-ventilated room for a day or so.
Oh, and a trampoline.
Those are SSDs - solid state drives. They cost a lot more than hard drives.
Thanks for this post. My friend living near the Eiffel Tower may need to look into this. However, I am skeptical at drug companies and their promises. I wonder if this will be another one of those "lifetime treatments" or cures
Ans, they do not have as high of capacity as conventional drives although this is changing. Hence all the drives, which can actually make seek/write times faster, due to using RAID. One wonders what type / how many RAID SATA (I assume not SAS) controllers are in that rig.
Is that a critical error at time marker 2:27 I see?
Marty: Well spotted!
Indeed, since they never mention anything about crashes I assume they are working in full Windows Denialism Mode. (WDM) so we have to take this whole thing with a grain of salt.
Did they do a defrag? Never defrag an SSD. Unless you want to wear it out for no performance gain.
aporeticus: This is why they should do this with Linux. There is no defrag in Linux.
