@iKnow0 By the way how many TB each rig?

[rapidfireman]

@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

[tylerk07]

@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?

[haitch]

@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

[haitch]

@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.

16 Drive chassis, $180 shipped

@haitch damn O_O currently i have borrowed from work LSI SAS 3000 series controller for SAS hardrives (happened to get coule 73GB SAS disks lol) old thing but still works nicely only problem those 15K SAS disks are noisy as hell :D

[haitch]

@LithStud Mine aren't - quiet little beasties. The server they sit in on the other hand ..........

[LithStud]

@haitch lol :D

why not go a notch higher? :D

[haitch]

@LithStud You're not thinking big enough ..... 480TB of goodness ....

[luxe]

@LithStud The worst is that this guys get all the fine hardware for free ... hell i want such box :-)

[LithStud]

@haitch i didnt even know such things existed :D but in both our cases its pretty much custom builds :D for us average joes to look at :D

@luxe i know right :D but again i imagine he worked his ass off to get to this stage :)

[tylerk07]

@luxe For free? how

[luxe]

@tylerk07 Check their youtube channel, they do reviews of hardware and have millions of views on some videos they made, so hardware manufacturers send them their stuff to promote it etc. And it works, every time i watch some of their videos, i want new hardware :-)

[tylerk07]

@luxe Dammit I want a youtube channel now! I want a piece of that sweet 480TB pie
