@luxe said in What hardware for mining?:
@AmDD Mostly like you mentioned above, you could add a 7port usb3 hub to each of the ports for example and run 28 drives with that one controller. Depending on drive capacity 50MB/s per drive may be fast enough. Again depending on the time you target to finish mining for a round. Block time fluctuates a lot, get a overview here: http://burstcoin.biz/charts/average-block-generation-time
This is how such a setup could look like:

Maybe thats where Im missing it. In any mining Ive done to date faster is always better. Is this not the case here?
Im currently plotting an old 1TB drive I had laying around, running over USB2 and on an old Core2Duo system.
