The NAS You Would Like To Build Yourself

The Black Dwarf reminds me of those old 3.5-inch floppy cases from the ’90s. Except it uses eight 2TB hard drives. 16 terabytes. RAID 5. 266MB-per-second reading. 88MB-per-second writing. All custom-made. Good. God.

The homemade NAS – perfect for editing massive video files or copying the whole internet – was created by Will Urbina. I like it more than hot dogs with jam and lemonade. [Will U. DesignThanks Clint!]

    If you guys watch the 2nd video, you would realise the drives he uses in it while working on it right up till the end are old crappy drives (theyre not all even same brand or size) and at the end of the 2nd video you see him finally assemble it with 8 brand spanking new WD drives that you see him unpack from the shipping box. Anyone who thinks he is actually using the real drives during the manufacturing process is simply an idiot.

      Did you have an argument with yourself before posting? Because I don’t think anyone brought that up a a major gripe with the video…
