@haitch If you had to guess, what would it be ;)

@haitch You have a addiction ...
@tylerk07 Currently 77 drives for burst + 13 data drives, so 90 drives attached to one PC. Mining BURST with ca. 280TB.

[tylerk07]

@luxe :O Whaaaat, What computer do you have running this!?

[haitch]

@tylerk07 61 I can think of off the top of my head.

I know this is sick ...

This looks like the initial seed power of BURST LOL
Just kidding but man you have a serious addiction LOOL I guess it's better than drugs or gambling but fuck XD

BTW how is possible to put 90 drives attached into one PC? :O
And it would cost much? I was thinking in trying to start a big mining farm (was doing the math for around 1PB farm) with some people but i think i would need at least 2 rigs to do it but if it's possible to connect 90 drives into one PC i guess it's possible to make it with just one PC...

@gpedro Ok, besides from drive power supply you should have no problem attaching even more drives via extern usb3 or intern sata, provided you have enuogh free PCIe slots, as you can add USB3 or/and Sata crontrollers to handle nearly as much drives as you want.

[gpedro]

@luxe Yeah but my bottleneck will be the OS accept as many drives i think... I guess this can maybe be solved with RAID or something but i never used this kind of things... Can you point me to some good intel in how to set up such a thing?

[luxe]

@gpedro You talk about windows? You can add much more drives than A-Z or what do you mean?

[gpedro]

@luxe Yes i only have experience with windows but if you have a better OS solution for such a rig i am willing to learn... xD

[luxe]

@gpedro No idea, windows works fine for me ...

[gpedro]

@luxe WOW that tutorial make it pretty easy haha Big thanks will look into it...
Another question: This will make the speed of writting/reading slower?

[haitch]

@gpedro You can mount drives as sub-directories of another drive. So USB Drive 1 can be c:\Drive1, USB Drive 2 is c:\Drive2 etc. No real limit to how many drives you can mount, as long as you can find a way to physically connect them.

[gpedro]

@haitch Yeah i just learn that from the Tutorial @luxe posted ahhaha

[luxe]

@gpedro No does not make it slower ... for me it looks like:
