@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 :-)

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

I have my eyes on this for like a month now haha, already have it in my bookmarks and everything xD

tylerk07

@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!

Zeus

@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!!

tylerk07

@luxe Yeah but the cost of that 480TB is a big deal! haha

luxe

@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.

@tylerk07 yes harddrives are expensive ... but if you decided to buy some (maybe cheap on ebay or somewhere) you also have to find a cheap way to attach them.

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

luxe

@tylerk07 No idea, but if you are looking for expensive hardware ... check this 500TB for a million :-) http://geizhals.eu/sandisk-infiniflash-if500-512tb-sdif100-2y1f0000b5-a1333847.html?hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=pl&hloc=uk&hloc=eu

Don't buy it with PayPal ... would cost you another 23562€ lol

@luxe Just ordered 2, who wants one?

Zeus

Well I decided to share my external hard drives images.. compared to all of this it's nothing but I love them so much hahaha (26.5TB)

haitch

@Zeus What's with all the free space on D:, J: and L:? ;-)

tylerk07

@Zeus All you guys with your ext HDD's are crazy! Why is everything good in life so expensive...

Zeus

@haitch
D is my work drive (and games too lol), so I only use 1tb plot in there for mining.
J is a backup drive for important work files, so no plots in there (I was waiting to see how much space the backups would take, now I can plot the empty space haha).
And L is my boyfriend's drive for his Wii games, I have a 1tb plot there but not sure how much more I could go without breaking something for the Wii games xD so I have to take it slowly :P

I still don't get exactly how I can optimize my plots, so that's another thing I want to figure out. I'm starting to wonder if I need to delete a 5tb plot and recreate them or what, because if I understand, correctly I need the exact plot amount (5tb) in another drive to optimize a 5tb drive, and I don't have that much empty space in any drive right now xD. Is there a way to "cut" the created plots and then optimize them 1tb at a time?

I know this is sick ...

@luxe Who the heck setup is that? is it yours?
