Is this data transfer a one-off situation or would this be standard operation?

Standard operation. They have 250 of these USB SSD's in circulation for a data collection operation.

I mean, technically you can connect (I believe) up to 127 devices to a single USB port. The bandwidth will get choked in no time though and it'd look very unprofessional.

Yeah, looking to keep transfer bandwidth high. They'll have a poor intern who's only job it is to take the drives and connect them and transfer data, but I guess they'll just need to use 3 workstations to do that. Thankfully the office is already setup for 10gb

Doesn't really justify what it is that they want. It doesn't make sense for a central system to have 100+ USB C ports. The whole purpose of high speed networking is so that people DON'T have to do crazy things like this.

 

If they need this much bandwidth setup a 40Gbit aggregated link to a switch and create a few ingest stations people can walk up to and dump data onto the server form there.

That is the backup plan if I can't get it all on one system is 2 or 3 systems with 7 port PCIE cards in 6-7 slots.

You should consider suggesting the use of  those 5.25" bays where you can plug a 2.5" SSD ... you can enable hot plug and play in bios and you just plug the ssd into the slot and flip a switch and they're connected to the SATA controller, and you can transfer at up to 550 MB/s

Transfers would be faster than going through usb 3.0 and taking out the SSD from the external case should not be very hard.

 

They do large scale data collection, recorded to USB C external SSD's, so unfortunately that isn't practical and we are limited to USB for connectivity.

They expect to have up to 100 people with 100 external SSDs all dumping footage simultaneously? I think you should probably talk to them and explain that that's kind of unrealistic.

 

Most large operations for stuff like this would use a series of desktops users can sit at with a 10Gbit or 20/40Gbit aggregated link to the server.

Not video, it's all data. Just dumping from SSD to local storage so they can use it. One or two people using 1-3 devices and all they do is connect SSD and start the transfer. 

I have a client that has asked me to look in to the possibility of a server or two that are able to ingest large amounts of data from USB C external SSD's to local storage and then to offsite storage. The user requests 100 USB 3.0 ports for the drives. I've looked a bit, but haven't yet found a good way to do this. Any ideas for 100 USB ports on a single server?

Will do. That usually takes a while so I'll get er done and report back.

Got to 54% and then a BSOD. whea-uncorrectable-error

Yeah, try sfc /scannow, and check for windows updates and restart your PC.

You can try sfc /scannow in CMD, that might fix stuff, but the best solution would be to clean install windows on the SSD.

You should have all drives except the SSD unplugged, and delete all the partitions on the SSD before clean installing, otherwise you will probably run into problems again.

Trying to avoid that if possible. Disk usage now down to normal, computer still very sluggish.

@Enderman

Update. Disk usage back to normal, computer still extremely slow. 

Just now, Enderman said:

Do you have any other drives than just your OS drive?

Is your OS drive a hard drive or SSD?

Did you update to windows 1703?

Yes. Main drive is a 500gb samsung evo, also have 2x 2b seagate storage drives. Currently running 1607 I think.

What do you mean? Back everything up that you need to keep.

The files are easy but I have many programs that I no longer have the CDs and Licence keys to. Those programs are important and as of now I have no way to reinstall them.

Can you reinstall Windows?

Not easily. 

Just now, Enderman said:

Something is screwed up in windows and causing it to spam your drive with accesses.

When was the last time you clean installed windows?

Have you upgraded windows or cloned/migrated it?

Do you often get BSODs?

Windows install is only a few months old. Have not upgraded or cloned it. Only very recently have I had the BSOD issues, 3-4 times now. Always that same error.

Went to use my computer this morning and everything was as usual. After a few hours had a BSOD with a whea_uncorrectable_error message. After I forced a shutdown and booted back up the computer ran extremely slowly. Programs will take several minutes to load, cursor is jumpy and slow, difficult to access things due to the slow response. Windows event logs showed a kernel power shutdown error with no other relevant information. Idling at the desktop I have 3% cpu usage, 12% memory usage, and variable but nearly 100% disk usage on the ssd. I ran HD Tune benchmark and smart info, screenshots below, but nothing seems off to me. System is a 4770k at stock, 32gb ram, samsung 500gb ssd, evga gtx 1070. 

I have a 970 and 3x 1080p monitors in surround plus another monitor on the Igpu of my 4790k. 

When I try to run premiere it snaps to one of the three 1080p monitors rather than using the 5760x1080 it should. Is there any way to make premiere use the full screen?

I finally got a new computer.

Going from a sandy bridge i5, 8gb ram and a gt630 to a 4790k, 16gb ram, and a gtx 970.

What should I benchmark/install on the new system? 

Where do I look?

He tagged me, so it gave me a notification to come look. 

As he said, the best job is one that will hire you. I started working as a file clerk in a law firm in July of 2014, now I'm leaving that job because I just got an offer as a mechanic which I start in a few weeks. 

Get a resume together and just go to every business in the area you want to work for and give it to them. At 16 you'll probably have to apply for 10's or 100's of jobs before you get hired. 

Then just work and enjoy the money. 

I'm been abusing the best buy and amazon return policy for the last 2 weeks, buying and returning notebook after notebook. Maybe I'll give the XPS 15 a shot. XPS 13 keyboard flexed too much for my liking, I'm really wondering why I can't find a notebook with macbook like build quality... it's not like apple's using magic to build its products. Is it that difficult to build a solidly build machine with 0 flex.

It can be. With apple you pay a very large price premium for that build quality. (ex. ux501 vs Mac Book Pro 15" retina with a 512gb ssd) The asus still has a better cpu/gpu,same ram, higher res display, and costs several hundred dollars less. But you lose that incredible build quality. It's a matter of what you want vs what you want to spend. For me, the ux501 is good enough build wise to make it the far better choice. For others, that simply isn't true.

I've actually tried this notebook. Build quality wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. And opening the screen lifted the whole laptop which is a design flaw in my book.

I didn't notice that issue, but if you've already tried it. 

I can't think of anything else in that price range, spec sheet, and build quality. 

ASUS Zenbook Pro UX501

The LG 34UM95C-P is on massdrop.

I'm not really sure tbh, it's like testing out a mechanical keyboard in a store....it's just not a good way to get any decent idea. 

The Note 4 is quite a bit larger than the 6+ isn't it? (similar to a 6+ w/ a case) 

 

@All Of The Above 

Does anyone text/use their phone with hand, or did you used to now no longer can? If you no longer can, do you care/did you get used to it/do you miss being able to?

Still can. Never been an issue. It took me about 3 days to get used to it and then my parents s4's felt TINY. 

OnePlus One owner here. I love it. It fits well in my hand.

There are far too many good times. People here have always been so helpful. Mods are always open to questions. I really appreciate this community.
