@tylerk07 My mac system is a dual cpu system and it has 4 cores per system and that is what i am using to plot the drives on the server ( since it is a more powerful system ) and i am getting 5400 - 5600 nonces/minute with it
I am waiting for the Newest addition to the BCMPMiner Asset a HP ML370 G6 Server, 2x 2.53Ghz Intel E5540 processors, 6Gb RAM Which Will allow me to add more drives and expand the plots even larger
-
@Njcfamily31907 Sounds fancy!
-
the server that i am waiting to rec'v is the model made before @haitch 's hp system
-
@Njcfamily31907 Cool, I've got a Poweredge 2900 laying around that I'm wondering if I can do anything with it.

@tylerk07
AMD FX 8 Core + XFX RX 480
Old server motherboard Dual socket 2 x 6 Core Opteron

@iKnow0 Dude thats crazy! Top pic has 19 Drives attached? What piece of hardware lets you achieve that?
And I have a Poweredge 2900 dual Xeon server sitting in my garage, is it useable like your server board is?
-
@tylerk07 20 actually :-) . PCIE SATA Controllers. You should be able to do something with your Poweredge just get creative.
-
@iKnow0 Nice Ill have to invest in some of those! Do some motherboards cap the total capacity it can handle?
-
@tylerk07 Just depends on what you can connect to the board, but the more drives you have the better CPU you will need.
-
@iKnow0 Perfect ill look into it!
-
@iKnow0 By the way how many TB each rig?
-
@iKnow0 My ethereum rig used to look like that.

I'm just using a Acer Aspire 5755G laptop sitting ontop of my media center PC with a 1 TB drive inside the laptop, a external 1 TB 2.5" and a 8 TB external 3.5" - saves power
-
@weaveR Easy 10TB right there!

-
I want a miner like @haitch 's :D haha
-
@haitch Thats awesome! what are those Sata Data Cables you have in the second photo? and how are they powered?
-
@tylerk07 They are 2 x SFF-8088 mini-SAS External Connectors connected to an LSI 9285 8e RAID Controller. The controller is an 8e - so the ports are actually external - I plug the cables in externally, and then feed them back through an open PCI slot. Each cable has 4 SAS/SATA connectors.
-
@haitch how much it costed you for a controller? and is it good? :) While i do have on my board 6 Sata connctions (4 - sata3, 2 - sata2) at some point i should run out :D
-
@LithStud The card was actually a trade for a PSU & GPU. It's a VERY nice card, new they're just under $400. However you can pickup LSI 8i's for around $50 on ebay. Note that you'll also need to get the matching cables if they don't come with the card. But they give you 8 drives off one slot. You can even use an 8e card with external ports, 2 * external chassis with a SAS expander, and drive 32 drives off one card.
