For anyone who wants to get into mining seriously - quit thinking about SATA ports and USB enclosures and crap and start thinking real hardware.

http://unixsurplus.com/product/sgi-3u-media-server-storage-16-hd-bay-sas-sata-ssd-san-array-35-nas-jbod-good
less than $200, comes with 16 drive sleds and supports SATA disks.
All you need is a external SAS hba, which runs you less than a hundred bucks on ebay.

People can use eSata with an eSata enclosure with multiple bays for cheaper. Most motherboards have eSata already, plus 8 to 12 Sata ports on board.

still gotta plot the harddrives first though. my desk is big enough for 16 harddrives. but very nice thinking

edit for 300~ id rather grab another 10TB and just clutter my desk

BTW, you can daisy chain up to three enclosures in a row off of a single external SFF-8088 port.
You can easily fit 3 HBA's into most computers that will each have two SFF-8088 ports, which means you can run up to 18 enclosure off of a single box.
which is 288 disks per box.

oh, and they all run 3 gigabit SATA3 speeds.

Great coin will be holding for the long haul. Is there an IRC channel for this coin? If not there should be.

#Burstcoin

check out http://burstmultipool.com/irc for a web client.

does any one know who the channel op is for there. ive been sitting in that channel since there was 1 person in there and never seen a channel op

For solo or pool mining, I would need to generate the plots for your own address, so unfortunately I can't pre-generate plots. However, I can deploy storage very quickly in the cloud.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

well its only like what almost a month old. the network size is pretty incredible. there is lot of harddrive space plotted.

Sata 1 is good enough ?

Sata 3 is very expensive

sata 2 is faster but not as expensive

Very expensive for sata 2

Although sata 2 is faster , but the question is sata 1 good enough ? 1.5 gb / s is good enough for the operation ? It depend on HDD size , but i think its good enough for a 3 TB HDD since a fully plot 3 TB HDD would require less than 1 gb of reading when mining ? Am i correct ? I am not sure. I remember mining only read around 0.026% of space

2 for $10 http://www.ebay.com/itm/eSATA-II-SATA-II-IDE-3-5-RAID-to-PCI-E-PCI-Express-Converter-Adapter-JMB363-/331208214082?pt=US_Drive_Cables_dapters&hash=item4d1d8c4642

the one i show is 4 port.

For the one u show 4 port, 2 port is sata 1.

Data transfer rate up to 300MB/s (3.0Gbps) per SATA II port.

Data transfer rate up to 133MB/s (1.3Gbps) per SATA port from PATA.

2 SATA II ports (J1 & J2) & 2 SATA ports from PATA (J3 & J4) available.

you have some people mining with usb2.0 for connected harddrives.. thats what 60mbps so sata 1 should be fine. just takes longer to read your plots

yeah i though so too. If people were to go big mining this , it have to be cost effective. If sata 1 is good enough , i wouldn't want to spend even an extra dollar for something better

yeah im right behind you with ordering some. but ive managed to put harddrives/miners on other computers and free up sata ports for more

Nope i am way behind u. I am only planning , getting ready if everything looks good. I am learning as much as i can so that i don't spend too much money learning. There is a saying lesson cost money , good one cost less.

I am not going to expand until the coast is clear. Right now , it's still planning stage for me.

This coin is too new. It can either go to the moon and stay there or get stomp to the ground , buried.

I have 4TB drives available to start generating plots immediately (which would take 2-3 days to complete) after which I could ship the drive. For other capacities, I would have to wait a few days for shipping to me first, so a 6TB drive would likely ship from me in about a week. The included shipping is UPS ground, though if you wanted the drive faster I can offer faster shipping for an additional fee.

What about renting? Do you have plots ready to go for that?

For solo or pool mining, I would need to generate the plots for your own address, so unfortunately I can't pre-generate plots. However, I can deploy storage very quickly in the cloud.

Good question.. I tried looking around Freenode in the early days of the coin but didn't find an official channel. Has one been created since then?
