Should we make a 90 terabyte home file bin?



Actually, the idea has been flying for a long time and started its roots with the publication of the backblaze company how to make a cheap petabyte storage.

There is at least one user in the world who made it himself, here is his blog , the corpus he actually ordered ready and made some improvements to the design (for example, he removed the second power supply and made an interesting layout for one).
In Russia, such storage makes promobit and they even have a promo site for their beatblez.
')
But we are not looking for simple ways, for all who are interested in how to do it with their own hands, please roll up.


We will need 11 things (combined to simplify perception) to create a storage for 45 hard drives:


1) Corps, the first pancake habrahabr.ru/blogs/DIY/119827
2) Motherboard + processor + memory.
3) Power supply for 1200-1500 watts.
4) Sata multiplicators - CFI-B53PM (this is their original name) based on the SiI3726 chip, I was looking for them in questions (though this did not help). We need 10 pieces, we will insert 9 into our case, and we will break one while inserting them into it (statistics from practice, so when you need to crimp the wire from two ends, I always take 3 connectors). Wrote an article about their purchase.
5) Siata3132 based sata controllers with pci-e interface 5 pieces.
6) sata wiring ordinary 11 pieces.
7) A small system screw for Linux.
8) Power fans 6 pieces, + anti-vibration attachment to them.
9) What kind of anti-vibration crap so that the screws do not dangle, for each screw on the grid + a large top from the top, plus nylon bolts.
10) Moleksovsky power wires + straight arms + connectors for plugging into the power supply unit + soldering iron and heat shrink tubing.
11) 45 screws of 2 terabytes with a spindle speed of 5400 revolutions (their power consumption is 2 times less than that of the screws at 7200 revolutions).

To be honest, I am very far from all areas that will have to be used (metal bending and cutting, vibration theory, soldering iron and electricity), so there may be problems with terminology, I will be happy with comments, questions, comments.

In future articles I will tell you how and by what to get each thing, now I am right at the beginning.

UPD : On the issue of price, I hope to do everything without screws within 40-50 thousand rubles (case + all stuffing), the screws now cost about 2,200 rubles for 2TB seagate green edition, multiply by how much you need.
UPD2 : Who wants noiselessly stick 600 GB of screws and quiet coolers, I don’t see any other options here.
UPD3 : In general, a similar system can be assembled in a wooden case .
UPD4 : 2tb screws are chosen for the reason that the cost of a megabyte in a three-byte drive is 50 percent more expensive.
UPD5 : Who does not mind throwing karma 4 pieces for the next post.
UPD6 : For the disgruntled and do not understand why this is all, see the name of the blog, do it yourself, all for this.
UPD7 : Wrote an article on how to order Sata multipliers.
UPD8 : We hit the bash.org.ru/quote/411292
From Habra:
opium: Can we make a 90 terabyte file house?
Zerstoren: Have you decided to download some kind of torrent tracker? =)
opium: Yes, you should download the porno lab just in case
Deeman: Moreover, if you watch only new videos and do not repeat, then this good will suffice for distant descendants right up to the XXIII century.
Al1k: With such a stock of descendants may not be.
