The reason for slower speeds is the card itself. It uses controller chip and a port multiplexer. Depending on the version it is configured as 6+4 (ASM1166) or 5+5 (JMB585). The last port is connected to the multiplexer chip, so basically you have 5 (or 4 in JMB585) independent ports, then one additional port that works like SATA switch. Overall low speed of all disks compared to single one is probably due to Pi having problems with so many data streams or controller overheating, so be sure to get a fan on it, as it can get toasty. Overall nice project. That MDF board and metal brackets are the technological peak :D
Haha thanks for the feedback. I know speeds is not ideal, but for storj I believe it will work just fine - first disk has about 41GB after 50 hours - not so bad :)
Definitely a lot of fun! If you like this sort of stuff, I got another video with a 6 disk server, and another video on that where I have a public website where you can see its stats.
I wanted to make something like this! Unfortunately, in my country the PI 5 is as expensive as gold so we just ended up plugging the HHD's into a dell optiplex we had.

Thanks for the great video for X1010!
Thanks for a great product!
Thanks for the video! Very cool project.
Thanks!
this is awesome, I was thinking of building a more traditional NAS... maybe this route would be more fun though
Definitely a lot of fun!

this is awesome!! looks like i'll have another tinker project soon
Thanks man!!
Amazing Documantation ❤
Thanks!
Very interesting video! Why did you chose this way instead of a 10 bay USB-DAS?
Thanks!
I was considering it, but I had many of the parts already, and a 10usb to hdd seemed very pricey :)
The StorJ documentation recommends to reserve one core/thread to each one, curious how this turns out with all the nodes running at the same time
Yea, should be all right. -I might make an update video when all has been running for a bit

That’s also a good solution. I agree the pi 5 is overpriced- I got it second hand tho
Why not X86 normal computer, 80W at rest is a lot (I recommend Wolfgang's Channel)
Hey, it’s 80watt with all 10 drives. That is very low power. Each drive uses about 8watt
If this card is pcie 3.0 you might need to add a flag into boot config
Did you watch the whole video? 😅
@@hgsoftware5129 Maybe I missed it but to use PCI-e 3.0 it need to be set its not on by default.
So much of ‘i’m going to…’ which is unnecessary. Just get on with it.
I’m going to get on with it, and talk just like I want to :)
