It’s really hard to put a computer into space… so hard in fact that laptops on the international space station are treated as effectively disposable. So when the folks at HPE wanted to put a SERVER on the ISS, people were a bit skeptical… and it turned out even with the help of KIOXIA’s fast and reliable storage devices, to be harder than they thought.

Correction at 15:20 – This is meant to say "TDRS Satellite" instead of "TRDS Satellitte."
Imagine if they had the power efficiency of the Apple silicone.
what is faster: 1mbit/s or a cargo dragon full hard drives every month
So…. What you are saying is that I can in theory make a computer that is still able to work after nuclear war
That’s actually a really interesting video.
as well happy to see a Video with out the Over-Sillyness – its balances out nicely
But can it run Crysis..?
Why would they not run a 3 drive mirror with one warm spare? I guess if the write workload is high enough then it would make more sense to have only two.
why did you blur their faces in the beginning, we know who they are.
The drinking phrase for this video is "our sponsor KIOXIA".
Please drink responsibly and known you safe limits.
I wish NASA had more money and weren't forced into contracts with Boeing
Crazy to me they had planned to deorbit the ISS. Seems like they're still managing to find things to research up there, and companies are still finding ways to Innovate to meet the challenge.
The ISS is one thing, but satellite on-board computers is a completely different game.
Not only do satellite launches have the same issues as launches to the ISS (except maybe worse, because no squishy humans means that things like G-force limits aren't as important), but their computers also need to be working in a vacuum, which means you need some very esoteric cooling solutions (all the stardard Earth solutions are out: air-cooling won't work because, vacuum; and watercooling won't work because it limited to the size of the reservoir, and because water is heavy and very expensive to get into orbit), not to mention that everything needs cooling, not just main components, meaning you either need superconducting circuits or some way to cool the entire board, otherwise the wires will overheat (because vacuum).
you would think that cooling something in space would be quite simple since space is cold af…
How come they use x86 processors instead of ARM? Aren't they more power efficient?
My two favourite things – spaceflight and tech – just crossed and I'm loving it
I'm really curious about the astronauts reaction on the iss when receiving linus meme
My favourite space story is the US spent more than a million dollars to make a zero gravity pen for their astronauts and Russia sent their astronauts with a pencil 😂😂😂
6:45 homie didn’t even pause cuz he knew we’d rip that innuendo apart 🤣😂🤣
Linus would be at home in the ISS. There's no such thing as "dropping" things off his hands there.🤷♂️
wait they use a ThinkPad with Linux of some sort up there??
Been saying this for a while the universe as a whole is extremely hostile to electronics and is pretty pointless to waste so much on them especially with the magnetic field of the earth is weakening
linus will be sent to space before 2025 if this post gets 25 likes.
Am i the only one seeing the logo of Silicon Graphics in the terminal window ?
Fun fact; if Linus was in space he wouldn't be able to drop anything. It would just float away.
A cricket literally started chirping outside my window at the "th-air" joke. I was so confused by the editors comment.
6:50 i'm expecting it would say "Space" instead of Enterprise then jack up the price by 10x
I liked the video, but I expected a bigger explanation about how space destroy those notebooks and how long they usually survive 😅
Still, awesome video!
The 37 pin locking connector is called a canon plug. Common aviation power connector since the 60s at least. All Military aircraft and spacecraft use them for everything.
Okay, I have to admit, I missed this one (I confused it for the one about the Apollo Guidance Computer, which is also really cool.)
@7:40 hot spares waste of time , may as well just mirror them all , with a offset / snapshots for bit-rot / flip checking , mind boggled that they still have not upgraded communication system from 98 , especially when time is $$$
genius as always
Great video, love these types of informative videos.
Anyone else see the diglett in the window or just me?
Can it play doom 😊
Linus in space when 💯
That was officially super cool.
The hardest thing to make this video : BRING LINUS TO SPACE !
Cause the PC needs to breathe 😭
Is it possible for a pc to run in the vacuum of space?
Do a vacuum chamber PC build linus
But why are those laptops damaged so quickly? Bit-flips shouldn't be permanent?
What's up with the funky SGI (Silicon Graphics) logo?
The editor needs a free lunch for (1) removing Linus' chair to create weightlessness effect and (2) "I'd put crickets here, but there's no sound in space." 😀
houstan we have a linus xD
I work in subsea technology, we're probably the only industry that has even more crazy connectors!! Both in engineering and cost!
The second Jake came on screen, i knew he was only there for the nerd factor. Going to the ISS simulator, no way he was missing out on that one!
I know it was a "Sponsored" video, but it had a lot of interesting and informative info! Thanks!
12:43 fun fact: what is commonly referred to as RJ45 should actually be called 8P8C.
It would be easier to speedrun Super Mario 64 I bet
Out of everything, the "hope and pray our data made it" part was the funniest.
