5TB Seagate Expansion Drive writing at only 5MB/s
-
As the title of the post suggests I have several 5TB Seagate Expansion Drives and when I plot them they will only write at about 5MB/s with occasional jumps to 100+ MB/s.
I'm pretty sure this is not a SMR drive (I could be wrong) the HDDs in question are direct connected to my laptop via USB 3.0 so no hubs or anything to bottleneck.
I also don't run any other programs while plotting and yes Disk Caching is turned on.Anyone else have this issue or know a way to fix it? If you sit and watch TaskManager while plotting you will see the HDD spend most of its time only utilizing like 3% or 4% of my max Disk capacity. with the random 10 - 20 second spike to 100% once every few hours.

@socal It's an SMR drive.

@socal Check this post https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/3877/need-tech-help-on-plotting/14 ... creating optimized plots on SMR drives is very slow due tech limitations.

@socal , what's the Asset status? Is it mining? When will the payments start to arrive again? Make it rain, brother.

@Egidius
The asset status is the 95TB that Haitch is running is still mining and will payout on Saturday.The 20TB I am running are currently being plotted at a rate of 2TB/day. So in about ~9 days I will have all 20TB I am running up and mining as well. Bringing the total to 115TB mining for the asset.
