Anyone know what the yearly workload would be per TB of storage?
Edit:
Think I found it... approx 31TB workload per TB storage

Thanks for the reply. 1 AMD GPU will be all that's needed for that much storage?
I know a bit about GPU mining, but I'm still fairly new to HDD mining. I'm currently building several GPU mining rigs and thought I might as well start the HDD farm while I'm at it. I'm thinking around 500TB.
My question is the following: What would be the most cost effective way to handle 500+TB?
I have a few ideas, looking for input
1: Distribute the hard drives among the mining rigs, use either 1 of the GPU's in each rig or preferably CPU but they aren't as fast... I want fast... This may also be difficult to have to change settings on all these rigs when I need to, vs all on 1 rig.
2: Put all the drives on one mining rig, use as few GPU's as possible to effectively mine the drives, leaving the other GPU's and all other rigs mining 100% other coins.
3: Build a dedicated rig(s) for the drives if necessary
I fully plan on expanding, hopefully 1PB and beyond. GPU's I'm using will preferably be GTX 1070, 6 per rig. Any special RAM or other requirements for something this size? Thanks in advance.
