Mining with SSD
-
Hi everybody, I
m noob in this and Im wondering can i mining with SSD ? Is this posible is any difference with SSD and HDD ? If i wont to invest in free space i have to take more HDD or SSD?
-
You can use either, SSD and HDD are both good. I think there is a slight advantage to using SSD, but I can't remember the technical explanation.
-
The more free space, the more coins you can mine. You get a much better Terabyte to price ratio with HDD.
Maybe there will be a change in 5 to 10 years... SSD get cheaper in the future and HDD are not growing in capacity like before due to physical limits of the technology.

I would think in a couple years ssd is cheaper than a normal hdd. I seen a used 1tb stick(€60) on ebay so its not far away.

We will see, however it's not only capacity ... price per TB, energy consumption per TB and lifetime will be important, too.
Still a long way to go, i guess ...
SSD ~ 200€ per TB
HDD ~ 25€ per TB
