Plotting 8Tb WD external drive....wish me luck
-
@darindarin I am using Xplotter as well.
Worked just fine after I formatted the HD.
Oops.
-
@darindarin I went for it all. Not sure if it was the right choice. I am at 8% plotted after 24 hours on 8tb HD
-
@PETENICE nice! .. keep us updated :)
-
@darindarin at 23% today!!!
-
@darindarin hey brother.
At 38% today
Working much faster now that block chain download finished. Then I realized I did need to do block chain for pool mining.
I am learning like I always do. Trial and error.
-
@PETENICE i am finishing up my last 1.6tb plot.. im only using 3 cores this time so i can use the computer while i plot.. 4 cores takes the life right out of the computer and how i plotted everything else..
i will say i am somewhat jealous you are plotting the entire drive in one file. wish i did that even if only 2 or 3 cores to keep computer functioning. i dont see this being my last external harddrive.. so trial and error for me too... im excited for you to start mining next...
-
@darindarin I earned 115 burst yesterday with 284gb. I am hooked.
Not bad for free space laying around.
-
I was done plotting earlier today and forgot to post..
Now i am getting a deadline almost everytime!Plotting slows down my read speeds and now that i am done i expect to hit more deadlines in a timely fashion improving my gains.
Hope my experience can help someone in the future.
-
If i compare your screenshot with mine, then i see you have faster reads then i do. How can i improve that?

You can set the number of cores on the fly .

So you can use 4 cores while sleeping and let´s say 2 cores while you are using the computer :)

How is the performance of the drive? I am deciding to buy myself one of these WD 8TB soon as I get my payment and if the device work good I will order like 11 more of them :D

@pr0cesor i love it.. newegg has it for 209 after a 10% coupon they advertise for you ..

@frere i believe that is the cpu hardware.. i have 16gb ram and sandybridge mother board.. im not that computer saavy my brother built this machine for me almost 5 years ago and its great to this day
-

I have been mining for two days at full capacity and already won my first block..
i am a very happy burster!!!i have taken about 2000 burst mining in a week from .5tb - 8.3tb.. dont know if it is good or bad but it feels good.

@darindarin like a boss! :-)
