Hi Joe VanDalsem,
It is possible to send commands to multiple hyperdecks at one time. Although this wont be perfectly synchronized.
Using a standard off the shelf Ethernet Hub/Switch you can connect multiple hyperdeck devices to the same network.
Then using the ethernet protocol, you could format each drive in each device one after another. If you were to do this via terminal commands you would have to connect via Telnet to one device, format, then disconnect and connect to the next device.
However, using a scripting language (such as python) you could automate this process. You could then execute this script once per day which will send all Telnet commands to all devices one after another with one single trigger/executable.
You could even run the script as a crontab job so that the script is automatically executed once per day at a specific time (say midnight, for example)
I hope this helps, let me know if you need any more information.
Kind regards,
Brendan
