I build a petabyte / 45 disk capable NAS / JBOD from the ground up starting with custom sheet metal, 3d printed parts, and custom electronics. If you’ve seen another petabyte build on the internet, then this video will show you more of the low level internals that you don’t often hear about.
Source Materials (mostly done. Adding more docs shortly after the video release):
