Hi tombxtra... Never noticed rudepeople's post until now... Oops.
For more connections on a typical system (perhaps even 20 of them) I guess the first thing you would have to do is to either get a motherboard with more SATA connections (the one I am currently using offers 8 of them) and/or get some expansion card SATA adaptors... I have a cheap Rosewill branded one that adds 6 SATA ports to one PCI expansion cards.
But realistically, I think he was talking about a server setup... Maybe a board like this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131643 - with plenty onboard, but more possible with expansion cards or on PIKE adapters.
To do it up right you are correct - it won't be cheap. Forget the adapters and racks, the drives will get expensive at that quantity. |
