What am I working on?

Jim – Finishing up adding all 12 x 8TB drives to the burst box.

  1. Not all USB 3 ports are created equal.  My core i7 box couldn’t handle the load.  The AMD box did.  Using 2 USB3 x 10 powered hubs
  2. The Seagate USB drives I purchased will get hot if not give enough space.
  3. Purchase special plugs to make it all work.
  4. $50 rack from Home Depot to organize

Jim – Update for Nvidia Shield last week
