Back in 2019 we challenged ourselves to build an all-flash version of Lumaforge’s Jellyfish hard drive-based video editing server for the SAME price. We succeed, but we’ve always wondered, what if we went for feature and hardware parity, how much could be saved? The answer might shock you.

Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Imagine hearing that your IT guy stole 45k out of your pocket and saying "yeah, i wanted that"
Be fair.
They're reasonably honest about NOT letting the term "affordable" or anything similar to that term appear on their website.
BTW – I had to look them up, had NEVER heard of them before a couple of minutes ago.
Um excuse me, WHERE is the RGB?!
This is exactly the kind of stuff I love. Saving THOUSANDS of dollars simply by doing something or building something yourself. Keep up the amazing work! Ps. you’ve inspired me to build my own NAS. Super excited I can’t wait to get started on it (:
I didn’t even know that yoink was an word. It is funny as hell.
How exactly do you order drives in quantity from seagate? Ive tried but always been re-directed to resellers. Looking to get 40x 16TB drives.

Watching Linus has ruined my sense of perspective how can I think 240TB isn’t that much :/
Have you considered building these systems and selling them with remote management packages?
16 or 24 cores??
200$ on a 2012-ish dell poweredge server and a few hdd's and its all good. 12c 24t.
TrueNAS is a complete garbage. Also, that’d be great to see actual performance comparison. With bandwidth tests, I/O test, drive latency tests. It’s not enough to setup hardware and stick FreeBSD on top of it, create a pool and call it a day. I would, also, want to meet that IT guy with intensive ZFS knowledge, who can tune z file system and be proficient with zdb and costs 20k to hire for 6 months. It will cost you a LOT to hire someone who would be able to recover your “lost” data — roll back txgs, fix a flood of chksum errors etc.. And then you loose all your important data, which most of the time in post production world costs millions, because you listened to a guy from youtube who said it’s gonna definitely work. Units like JF usually come with access to support engineers that can handle any ZFS issue which is included for few years when you pay for that unit. I’m pretty sure average editor won’t be able to handle even a simple drive swap if needed, even with GUI, let alone troubleshooting samba or nfs on FreeBSD. LOG device is completely useless with samba btw.
facepalm
This is hilarious I clicked on the video and an add for one of those jellyfish played
5:28 someone noticed that on the disk it says Hewlett-Packard Enterprise(HP Enterprise) instead of Seagate
What hardware manafacture that builds hardware for servers writes software tools for windows?!?! Linux is way more common in the server space.
all company doo the same crap , 45drive , puget systems , charge you big load of cach , just for a case or for some one to asemble it
Literally got a jellyfish ad on this video
I hate jellyfish. Got stung by one in Maui when I was a kid. Since then, whenever I’ve found them, I’ve brought them inside or to the grill and thrown them on there. Getting my revenge one jellyfish at a time.
Jellyfish are a rip off, considering they are using a dead Linux distro that they are most likely using for free and that isn't getting any security updates. I have had a plex server that has been running TrueNAS for about a year and a half and I find FreeBSD to be more stable than Linux. And it's nice to have an OS that is free and built for out of the box NAS use
'fleeced'
Me sitting here with my E pc file server
please donut fry me
12:00 "can't use"? … "?FUTURE UPGRADE?" … can the header be accessed by a Pi board to maybe do something?
note: a fun fund video could allow someone to show off their hobby programming genius
I'll have this in my, when I have 45000 to save 😅
I guess you don't like Jellyfish much then Linus ?
18:30 Ahh yes, because those two cold spare drives account for the ~350% upcharge over the total cost of the entire rig…
Hey Linus does fsp have a 1600w fully modular ver of that psu please send link
Wonderful stuff. If I had kids I'd make 'em watch all your server builds in preparation for the day they inherit my Plex media stash.
damn you did Jellyfish dirty, Linus.
That 2tb nvme is not a good write cache.
An Intel optane or even an older p3520 would be a much better choice since it doesn't slow down when the onboard write cache is filled. I have that exact sabrent nvme and it drop to ~600 MB/s when moving 100s of GB
i'm sure no one cares but SLOG isn't a write cache. it is actually never read from during normal operations. it is strictly a journal replay device
It's hard to take Linus's rant seriously when he's wearing a pink beanie.
