Hi Mike,
Thanks for this. Indeed, it's an interesting alternative. If you add up
the drives, SATA cards, etc. needed to implement an 11-drive machine,
not to mention the labor, the total cost wouldn't be too far from P35T,
I suppose. Greetings,
Obet Verzola

We have a unit here in our office that do just this. It has 11 drives, one
source and 10 target. We bought it in greenhills, I believe, for about PhP35k.
We use it for burning sales/marketing materials on CDs/DVDs.
It's a turnkey solution. I'm not sure what OS it runs on.
I merely mention it here to pose an alternative solution.

I'd like to build a Linux machine that will simultaneously burn several
(say, 10) DVDs from an original ISO file. It is our DVD, so no copyright
issue is involved here.
I find burning from a single burner too slow, if I want to burn, say,
100 copies quickly.
What I have in mind is to connect 10 burners to one machine. Then, to
have 10 instances of K3B (or some similar disk-burning software, K3B is
best though...) running, each instance using 1 of the 10 burners.
Is this at all possible? The PCs I've seen have at most 4 SATA ports,
and one of these is for the hard drive. That leaves only 3 for 3 burners.
If I connect a DVD burner to SATA ports 2, 3, and 4 (#1 is used by the
hard disk), will this idea work?
How do I connect more than 4 SATA drives to a PC?
Thanks in advance,
Obet Verzola
PS. To the curious: I work with farmers and we have a training video for
farmers that we produce on demand, and sometimes we need to do so quickly.
