@nox The miners are multi-threaded - there are separate threads reading each drive at the same time.

@RiskyFire Well guess there are multiple factors ... number of disks, as they are read parallel (as far as possible with limited threads), also i tried not to add to much hdds to a single controller ... and i have a workstation motherboad with 40 pcie lanes and quite fast 4 channel memory.
Hi luxe, what do you mean by that the disks are read parallel? Is this something to do with the organization of your plot files throughout your drives?
No, by using more than one USB controller
-
@nox my miners have between 8 and 16 drives - I can pair a CPU to match the capacity.
-
@RiskyFire Not sure if i understood your question right ... external drives use the power supply they had included. They are plugged in usb3 from Mainboard and additional USB3 controllers with dedicated controllers for each usb3 slot.
@nox No it just means that your speed increases with every additional drive, as read speed adds up ... so you will never reach read speed of 100 drives with just 10 drives. Or in other words ... The more drives you attach the higher the overall read speed ...

The photos in this thread get me aroused.
Here is one of my Burst Mining rigs.
The O.G Burst Gadget is his name.

Great way of losing money unless you have free electricity., or need the heat. :-)

Drives:
4 x Seagate 5TB External
4 x WD 4TB Red Internal
1 x Seagate 8TB Internal
1 x 320gb Toshiba External (from an old laptop on a sata to usb connector lol)CPU: Interl Celeron g150
Ram 2 x 4gb Gskill
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 (also serves as my NAS, print server, seedbox, and Sickrage/Usenet/Torrent Client)
Plus a whole tangle of wires (all external drives bought off amazon with BTC and they have american plugs so I use adapters to australian)
Raspberry pi in the foreground is an adblocker (but makes it so I cant use surfbar)

@RichBC Thanks for the photos , you have a good configuration !
The external HDD is Toshiba disk ?
Have you got a card on back of your destop for the USB3.0 ?
A other question , it neccessary to format the when you buy it but what is the allocation size , the maximun 4096Ko in NTFS ?
Thanks soon
-
Hi how are you ?
i have a questions
what is the protocol that you use with you server it is DAS , NAS, SAS ?
What is the model and compagny of your server ?
The disk are in RAID 0, 1 ,2, 5, 10 or 100?
Thanks soon
-
@Neo38 The HDD are Toshiba Canvio USB3 Drives. 10 Drives are connected to the inbuilt USB3 Ports on the Mother Board, and the remainder to 4 Channel USB3 PCI-e interface cards, so that every drive has an individual controller to keep the read speed up. 80TB is scanned in 10 seconds.
I leave the drives as they are supplied, formatted NTFS 4096 Byte Allocation Unit.

Have you got a special card on your mother card for the SATA?
The disk are in RAID 0, 1 ,2, 5, 10 or 100?
Thanks soon

@Neo38 Hi, they are directly attached using three http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124070 , I do not use any RAID.

So Focus 5 had issues reading the 8tb and 10TB drives when they were USB so I got an 8 port sata controller card and I made a plexi rack for them, no more read errors !!
-
lurked for along time. but here's what i have
I use a lsi 9211-8i HBA + the onboard sata (theres another 4port sata hiding in there too i think). If i expand any further, it will be with a SAS port expander on the HBA.
this is also the plotting box. it runs a R7 270 + 12gb ram that if i'm plotting multiple drives can hit 36k nonce/min
7x HGST 3TB ultastars
3x WD Blue 4TB
few other misc 1-2 tb WDs I've had since the beginning (15 total attached)
