GUI Plot Optimizer faster with more Ram?
-
Hello everyone!
I am in the process of optimizing my 16 TBs of plots.
The GUI Optimizer lets me choose the amount of Ram used for optimizing. I curently have 8gb of ram. Of which I am using 4gb for the optimizing process to still beeing able to work at the PC at the same time.
Would it make sense to upgrade the Ram to 16gb? Would the optimizing process be twice as fast with 8gb dedicated to optimizing then with only 4gb dedicated?
Thanks!

@PummelHummel I used different amount, could not see a real performance difference.

@Han-Solo are you sure?
Right now optimizing from one internals Hdd to another takes me about 48h (8tb).

You might be right, that Specs dont make that big of a difference.
At least thats the conlusion that I make when you are getting 30h for 5TB with i7 and 20gb. And I am getting 45h for 7,25tb with an i3 and 3gb.
But it cant just be the write speed. 5 or 7,25TB should be written fasten then 30h or. 45h...

Your right. It does seem strange that if you were to copy a large file (say in the region of 5TB) to a HDD over SATA3, granted it will take some time but certainly not anywhere in the region of 30Hr!
This begs the question that there must be some other area which is taking the time? If its not the CPU or RAM specs then what other process could be hogging all the time?
I guess the real question is why does it take so long to plot a drive??

@Han Solo there is something off with your CPU then. Usually a CPU like that should be pretty quick at plotting.
