@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.

@luxe For free? how

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

@Zeus According to Burstcoin calculator 480TB is 46476Burst a day... <3
-
If someone seriously wants to buy 480TB or the like, remember, you also need the hardware to mine all that drives ... not even sure how that will perform if you do it the BURST way and access all drives at once :-) Guess they are not made for that ... or would not perform very well. Maybe with included GPU etc. but not over network.

@luxe I seen some guy on the .biz pool with about 420TB. Ask him haha He was forging so often it was annoying!

@tylerk07 yeah I've seen it too, stuck there a fair amount of time just to look at that power haha
But it's possible they have more than one PC for all those drives, or I don't know how they do it :P
-
@Zeus Attaching a lot of drives to a pc is no big deal, if you really want ...

@luxe I don't understand much about hardware, I'm more on the software side but OMG those images!! Soooo pretty!!
-
@luxe Yeah but the cost of that 480TB is a big deal! haha
-
@Zeus Yes, this controllers are impressive and quite expensive ... i posted it somewhere else today, for 150€ (+ ~100€ for cables) you can buy a controller for 32 SATA drives.

@luxe Theres no way this guy just went and spent 30K on hardware for this... He must own a Data center or something right?
