four cd burners

[gnef]

Hey guys,

I read in another forum (2cpu) a while ago, of a guy who setup a four drive raid 0 on a tx2 with 157 MB/s str. I still don't understand this, but I have a question regarding the feesibility of using the same technique to burn four cd simultaneously using a tx2 card. Would it be possible to do this if each cd burner had burn-proof or similar technology with a hard drive capable of supplying the necessary data to each cd burner simultaneously? And also, would nero be able to do this? roxio? built in software in xp?

TIA,

If I remember right Nero can use mulitiple drives.

As far as everything else, no clue.

Hm, K, Thanks,

any other thoughts on the hardware side though?

i think u would have to have a controller card and maybe a raid but i dont think so. i say that cause when u use nero it moves the files to the temp bin so if anything a 7200 rpm drive with hardly anything on it oh and nero supports multiple drives

I do not plan on "raiding" the cd burners, in fact, I dont' think you can... I just wanted to know if i could burn them simultaneously through one tx2 controller card, non-raid, since the raid requires hdd, without any negligible problems.

also, with nero, can it burn different files to each burner or does it have to be the same file synchronously to all burners?

You might have a better chance of this using SCSI cd burners. Have you seen the lag you get during burning on just one IDE cd-rw?

Hm, true.

I do not plan on building this right now, i was just wondering as to the theory behind it. If i were to build it, i would have it as a solitary cd burning "station", so the lag would not be noticed at all, simply because i wouldn't use the computer for anything else, except to burn more cds when the first batch would be finished.
