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

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.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

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

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.

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.

That disk enclosure is $135, you find me a 16 bay eSATA enclosure for less than $150 and I'll kiss your ass.
Then you find me a eSATA enclosure that you can connect 18 of to a single server.

Plot generation with cpu is difficult on big arrays of hdd's, especially for a single socket motherboard. Ideally a quad socket motherboard (ie. server motherboards) are more ideal for plotting and have a lot of memory slots too.

Awesome! Name of the music? Please no Darude Sandstorm jokes  

man my first terabyte when i relized how long it was taking..  i was so stressed out looking at the pile of harddrive i had to fill. thats when i turned on every computer in my house and had them all plotting to it and boom like clock work
