Pick the second one. 1 file for 1TB.

@fosu Because a terabyte drive is 1,000,000,000,000 rather than a "true" 1 TB drive, make the number of nonces you plot = 3,801,088 rather than 4,000,000 - you won't get 4 million on the drive.
To calculate number of nonces for a drive:
- Take Drive Size in Bytes / 262,144
- Divide that by stagger size (16,384 here)
- Round down to integer number only.
- Multiply that by stagger = number of nonces will fit on the drive given your stagger.

@fosu check this out

you can put the exact amount of bytes from your HD and will give you the right Nonces.

@haitch thanks I am trying now the number of nonces of 3,808,088 and see how it's doing...
