@manfromafar Is it possible for you to connect the arrays with USB? or how do you connect them to your computer exactly?

Those ARE computers yo. :D
@manfromafar great man, yea, I did look into something like that, and even had a really good hookup on drives, but I just couldn't justify the matchup of the drive size I could get, with something that made sense, nothing beats 8TB density, and buying any smaller drives at this point I can't justify.
So I picked up the USB because they had best over counter prices, but now I'm picking up some from haitch in the group buy, and yea, I'm thinking right now that I'm going to up my order.

@crowetic I'm not familiar with servers as you can tell, so you pretty much plug the array to a modem and access it from a browser? how do you mine though?
-
@cyberspacemonkey A "server" is just another computer so installed windows/linux and run it the normal way yo uwould any other machine.
@crowetic yup the external 8TB seagates are the cheapest drives out there. All I do is order them Rip the internal drive out of the enclosure and mount them in the servers.

@younoob007 10 drives on a single hub will be bottlenecked. Try to keep it down to 2-3 drives/port.
I have 24 USB 3.0 HDDs connected to one USB 3.0 port on a $350 laptop. I plot/replot, run 3 local wallets and use JMiner. 92TB scan in 79 seconds.

@manfromafar Sorry if i'm asking stupid questions, but how do you access the array from the computer?
-
@cyberspacemonkey The array is in the computer, it's like the harddisk in your PC, just a lot more of them
-
@manfromafar @haitch Do they have a connection for like a monitor, etc? I looked some up and most of them have for networking only on the back.

USB 3.0 Array + Read Times

@cyberspacemonkey These ARE regular computer, just with a lot more drive slots, and higher engineered parts. So yes, keyboard, mouse, lan, video, PCIe slots - it's just a big computer.
