-
hi guyz im planing to setup burstcoin mining using this type of usb is it possible to mine burstcoin using 1tb usb
-
@issaburst i dont know how you found a 1tb flash drive but if you plug it in and plot it you should be able to
-
-
@issaburst are you buying it to mine burst?
-
@issaburst thats expensive! I got a 4tb hard drive for $160 and that still isnt cheap
-
@ddos i know but im asking if it work i will buy usb from china its more cheaper than amazon
-
@issaburst You might want to get another person's opinion but I don't see why not. I use a couple usb's on my rig and they're fine
-
@issaburst
You are able to. Storage is storage and the medium doesn't matter as much as the capacity.

Seriously, do not pay more than ~30-40$ per TB, if you can get that USB-Stick at such prices i will take a few^^
If you want a USB3 storage device without additional power supply i suggest:

The cheapest harddrive right now is 60 dollar at 3 tb, which should just do the job if you have some space in ur pc left
-
@theapple0 Where have you found that price? Thanks :)
-
@theapple0 that would be an easy ROI. where are you getting this from? If it's seagate i would understand the cheapness but still. I'm curious :)

I found http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/seagate-5tb-expansion-desktop-hard-drive-sgex5000de
Best $ to TB i could find in Australia. With conversion rates it might be pretty good for others.

Careful buying USB drives from China. 99.99% of them are fake. I purchased a couple of 2 TB flash drives from China and when I received them they turn out to be 16 GB. Only good thing that came from it was I got my full purchase price back including shipping and 2 16 GB flash drives for free.

@Wondyr Here's a great video I found some weeks ago and show exactly this:
-
Yes.. be careful with cheap TB. The prices are very similar everywhere on the world (which is btw perfect for the distribution of mining capacity):
-
@Zeus Hitachi 7K3000 at amazon, went a little up in price do (w/ 10 dollars)
-
@daWallet I only buy harddrives with reviews :)
-
I tend to stick to known brands of harddrives, in particular Western Digital. Currently investing in 8 TB drives to keep increasing my mining. Should have my 3rd early next month.
I definitely wouldn't buy thumb drives for mining burst though, its more expensive than its worth. Buy real harddrives, from known vendors of known manufacturers. That would be my recommendation.
-
really great comments and lot to learn.
Does it matter if the storage is ssd/sata/sas or any other form of faster drives.
I guess I am asking is it worth investing in faster disks (with lower latency) or the cheaper storage is the way to go?
Thank you!
