Would a Athlon x2, each DVD drives on its own channel (I would get a PCI card for the 2nd 2 channels) and four DVD Drives pull it off?

Or would it require an Athlon x4, I wonder?

CitizenDoug, what are you up to?

Topics you've created:
Who are your favorite distributors?
Is it legal for a small business to sell stamps?
Your deafness ( I missed that the first time, that's crazy man. Have a :beer: )
mp3 player to record voices
Digital files into film
BitTorrent unlocked at your University
HD Camcorders
Purposely destroy your car

Now this....

What's going on dude?

Making commercials for your computer business or something?

Oh, and I have no idea really on the what kind of hardware to rip so many DVDs at once.

No, I'm just backing up my DVD collection in a rather extravagant way.

What so no one is going to answer this question on ethical grounds? And they say I am crazy :Q

:thumbsup: I've bought some component cables from them a couple times and I'm quite satisfied. Make sure you look through all the shipping options as the one on the bottom was cheapest for me both times.

2 computers, each with 2 dvd drives [lite on] [fast rippers] [research for best drive out now] on seperate channels preferably with any hyperthreading cpu. put your hard drives on a controller card/sata instead of the dvd drives

And to answer your question. No you may get lucky occasionally. I dont even think those drives would work reliably on a controller card.

Going the other way, I've set myself up a neat little device. Four Plextor SCSI CD-RWs in an external caddy, connected to my LSI 20860 card, which also has a Plextor CD-ROM.

This allows me to put a disc in the CD-ROM, and burn four duplicates of it in the burners. I call it The Burninator.

Why Plextor? AFAIK, in the CD world theirs are the only ones who do actual SCSI commands. Don't know about the DVD world. I do know that most SCSI DVD burners are really IDE, they're all expensive, mostly external, and sometimes restricted to DVD-RAM.

Anyways, the closest you could come to that is getting an equal number of (IDE) DVD-ROMs, and SATA hard drives so everything's on its own channel. Hyperthreading and/or multicores will help too.

you'd probably need 4 cores, 4 hard drives and 4 dvd roms.

you'd probably be better off just getting 4 computers.

i mean you could do it with 1 hard drive, 1 cpu and 4 dvds. it would just take forever.

'Backing up' on a quasi industrial scale is almost certainly questionable but in order for it to work at all well you will need 4 cores, 4 dvd drives on separate channels, 4 hard disks again on four channels and you will need all this to be free of the constraints of the PCi bus. So you will need to be looking at PCI-X or PCIe controllers. For the cost involved in all of this you might as well just buy the DVD's again, then there would be no need to 'back up'.

That said, it was along the lines of:

Idiots drive Ferraries made to go 200mph on the freeway.

Other idiots build giant mansions they never live in.

John Trovolta has his own 747.

So if I want dual dual core opterons with four hard drives and four dvd burners for bragging rights.. i just dare you to stop me ;)

Anyways, I did decide to just leave it at two ;)

Athlon x2, 2 DVD Drives, and I guess two hard drives although I really only want one.
