💾We built two identical storage servers for Mark Rober to solve his storage issues.
🖥️We used AMD's Epic platform for its flexibility and upgradeability.
🔒The servers can remotely and securely sync with each other.
🧠We utilized ZFS and L2 ARC caching for efficient data storage and retrieval.
📚The Fractal Design R7 XL case allowed us to house all the hard drives without the need for a server rack.
Why did you choose AMD's Epic platform?
—AMD's Epic platform offers flexibility, upgradeability, and sufficient performance for a storage workload.
How did you ensure remote syncing capabilities?
—We used ZFS and L2 ARC caching to enable remote syncing of the storage servers.
Why did you choose the Fractal Design R7 XL case?
—The Fractal Design R7 XL case allowed us to accommodate a large number of hard drives without the need for a server rack.
What caching methods did you utilize for efficient data storage?
—We utilized ZFS's Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC) and Level 2 ARC caching for efficient data storage and retrieval.
How did you ensure the reliability of the storage servers?
—We used registered ECC memory and a reliable CPU cooler to ensure the long-term reliability of the storage servers.
