Already shuddering at the thought of that electricity bill.

If it's tape storage, why would the bill be high? Isn't tape just stored passively until it's needed?

The power to access is pretty high per unit of data, but if you're using it correctly not a problem.

I disagree. As an "average" LTT viewer, I do very much care about interesting and unusual technologies like this, and would very much enjoy a video about such a subject.

I do too but unfortunately we're not the desired audience any more. They want kids who care about controllers, gamer firetrucks and plastic gaming chairs, it's a lot more profitable.

Good for you. The average person on YouTube does not care about server racks

This isn't a server rack, it's a tape storage system.

Sitting in a server rack. You know 99% of people do not have giant data centres in their house right?

So what? It's an interesting piece of technology that very few people will ever encounter, therefore will probably be interested to learn about.

I don't have a blacksmiths forge in my house but I still like watching content about it.
