System Administration, Week 2: Devices and Interfaces
This segment discusses common storage device interfaces, including SCSI, ATA, SSD, Fibre Channel, and hinting at storage configurations like JBOD and RAID, which we'll get back to in the next video. At this point, it feels a bit dated, and I may skip it going forward and perhaps expand more on enterprise storage, but then again, it's only 10 minutes of your time.
System Administration, Week 2: Storage Virtualization
In this video, we cover the concept of storage virtualization -- combining individual disks into larger storage pools and utilizing resources from such a pool. This includes a discussion of RAID and some of the different supported levels as well as Logical Volume Management (LVM). We further illustrate some of these properties by example of ZFS.
