I have 16 of these 500GB seagate drives that are just sitting here.

I'm thinking of putting them into good use. I'm a video editor and need fast drives. Is it a good idea to get a ... x bay ( 8 < x < 20 ) RAID enclosure and use them this way?

I have a MSI X99s SLI Plus mobo, so I can use eSata.

USB 3.0 wouldn't be buttleneck for such a RAID, right?

That won't be an issue. Just need this to survive for a few months.

>>55752331
I will

Just wanna know if USB 3.0 will be a buttleneck? Or what's wrong with using eSata?

usb 3 is 5gb/s

eSata is 6gb/s?

So, a single HDD is also 6gb/s. I RAID 0 a whole bunch of them to increase the read speed up to 8x. But then because of the connection between the enclosure and PC (wither USB 3 or eSata) it will be all wasted?

What's the solution then? Thunderbolt card?

>>55752827
You can buy a pcie raid card and use that. Using USB3.0 or esata will most likely bottleneck such an array. The only problem is that your case might not be adequate.

I don't actually think you should use 0 jesus that has a ridiculous failure rate. eSata is fine
