My experience with even a single USB optical drive is that it's very slow.

How about using USB DVD-RW drives? I haven't checked prices of
external DVD drives, but I imagine that will allow you to get up and
running quickly, if that's a requirement.

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,

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.
