one of my 4TB external drives started acting up big time. So i unplugged it and bought 16TB more diskspace to replace it.  Turns out it the box circuit was bad, after i took the drive out and plugged it in directly and repartitioned it, it seems to work just fine.

When i have sorted out usb connections, i will finally get past 100TB plots, took some time to get to 3 digits, i'm out of cheap ways of expanding, but now i *have* the 16 extra TB, i'll sure as hell find a way to connect them wo breaking the budget. Might move some of the smaller drives to USB2.

At the current price, the burst i've mined and kept are worth quite some more than the drives i've bought. PC's would be online anyway as they do other stuff too.

Burst team is stronger and wider than ever, future is looking bright.
