  You can check speed of drives e.g. with http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskMark/index-e.html

  @haitch I am just plotting and optimizing plots as I go at the moment, turned off the burst miner while all of that is going on. Hopefully over the next 4 or 5 days I will have made a dent in getting some of these plotted and be back to mining.

  @superskid Only if it supports Link Aggregation (NIC Bonding or Teaming) . You would also need a NIC that supports it on the other end too as you will have two network cables. There would be some overhead too. Its a nice idea, let us know whats speeds you get it if you get it working.

  @Njcfamily31907 we have a bunch of sites which are translations of the www.burst-team.us website about Burst, including http://br.burst-team.us/ (brazilian), http://tr.burst-team.us/ (turkish), http://es.burst-team.us/ (spanish), http://ru.burst-team.us/ (russian)

  @Lucifer8 the more cores, the faster you'll plot - generally, do total number of cores - 1.

  OK, once they finish optimizing I will take them all out of the enclosure and move them. My case is tight so maybe I can try and find sata and power extension cables and store them outside of my case. Does that exist?

  @Propagandalf I just bought two of these puppies (Syba SATA III 8 Port PCI-E 2.0 Controller Card) , https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ESFEI2E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  Eight drives each. You will need a big PC case or just build your own rig. Lots of air will give better cooling. You will also need to power it so lots of SATA power cables, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0086OGN9E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  Internal SATA drives are cheaper so the rig will pay for itself quicker. If you are still unsure just ask.

  @haitch i had go back in there to look where i saw the 2Tb limit and it was in something called VHD or XVHD or something so probably not the same thing, i don't know nothing about this but maybe to you means something hahaha

  Do you know someway that could make possible to use two or more clouds in the same drive letter? maybe only using a VM right?

  the AIO Burst Client for Windows detects previously plotted files and adds new files to the old ones. You can plot two files and check the plots in C:\Burst\plots\

  @daWallet

  I found this guide:

  "If this is just for a single computer (i.e., you're not trying to make it the same drive letter no matter what computer it plugs into) then you can do it using the Windows Disk Management tool.

  list itemOpen the run command and type diskmgmt.msc to open the tool.

  list itemLocate your USB drive in the list of devices.

  list itemRight-click the drive and select Change drive letters and paths...

  list itemClick the Change... button.

  list itemChoose a new letter from the dropdown list and press OK.

  list itemPress OK through any warnings it gives about programs not working if you change the letter.

  And you're done! From now on, when you plug this USB into this computer, it will attempt to use that drive letter again each time.

  Note that this can cause problems if you have assigned two USB drives to the same letter at different times and then plug them both in."

  Is this how I should approach the task, or will I run into the problems mentioned in the final sentence?

  @PedroM100 open windows explorer. go to the folder where PlotsCheck.exe is located. Once there hold down the shift key and press right+click on your mouse at the same time a menu will appear. Select the menu option that says "open command window here". A black box will appear, click the box then type PlotsChecker c:\Burst\plots (that should sort it for you)

  Well I experimented this morning with a plot that had been running all day yesterday. I stopped and restarted the plotter. And it appears every time you do this it is going to overlap those plots. So now I am trying to write a much smaller plot and let it finish, then try to add a second plot on the same drive. Just to see if it also overlaps the plot.
