Another Raspberry Harvester

With the drives in a "single" configuration I can get around 298 plots on them. Once I have it filled I will install the Chia software and run it as a harvester.

I have over 1000 plots at the moment and the Chia GUI is telling me I am still 2 months off winning, so it l
