  @burstminergrow If it was me...

  8TB x 125 (not SMR drives)
  2 x 16 Port SATA controllers per PC ( 32 Drives per PC)
  using 4 PCs x 32 = 128 Drives

  or

  2 x 24 Port SATA controllers per PC ( 48 Drives per PC)
  using 3 PCs x 48 = 144 Drives

  Its usually cheaper to buy the USB 3.0 drives then extract the drive from them for use with a SATA/SAS controller. ( Warning will void your warranty)

  My advice would be to start small then grow as there is a learning curve to Burst. Also your newer GPU's will be best for plotting. The use the old GPU's to mine.

  Good luck with your build.

  Hi, thank you for answer

  no, they are not yet optimized, new HDDs are yet to come, I'll try to optimize as soon as they arrive
  but I saw people reporting 100+ speed without optimized plots :-/ Aren't they telling the truth? :-)

  @burstminergrow There is a learning curve to Burst, in time it will all make sense.

  @KenMasta The Burst Id you posted does not have an outgoing and incoming transaction. So, I sent you a few Burst. Once they have 10 Conf. Send out 1 burst to another burst id or change the name of the wallet. Click on the "No Name Set" located at the top left side of the wallet.

  Once you have an outgoing and incoming transaction, reassign your miner to the pool you want to mine on. Wait four blocks to pass. Let us know if your up and running after that or still having problems.

  @pipop you can use the 'targetDeadline' parameter to only send to the pool the max DL you set. However pools also have a max DL they accept, try finding one according to your capacity.

  Thank you so much for the fast reply!

  In regards to that calculator, how would I know what to put in for my coin base target and coins per block for now?

  Cheers

  And for the price I would say that is cheap, it is used right ? I believe you can expand it with a couple of USB3 Pci cards to run some additional external drives as well, remember to buy cards that have individual controllers per port so you can use hubs and have 5Gb/s per port instead of 5Gb/s over all ports.
  Is it single or dual processor by the way ?

  The only thing with such solutions is that they are damn noisy compared to a normal desktop computer. so you better have a good place to put it.

  A few questions about ploting and mining

  @shadowlin Hey, I'm not much experienced but I think I could answer some of your questions. When you mine at a pool, the chances for you to find a block is more or less the same of you mining alone, the difference is that everybody mines like they are a single person, so the plots of everyone kind of add together and the chances of finding a block boosts a lot.
  About the plots, in the beginning I had 3 plots of 1TB each, and made 15s to read them all (not so good CPU ):), after changing some things, I ended up with 9 plots, and the speed is the same. I think if you make 10 plots of 100GB per TB, you could see a difference in speed, but with that much I don't think so.
  The speed of reading don't affect directly in mining, the thing is, if you are in a pool and your plots take 60s to read, the pool may find another block while you are still reading your plots, so the reading stop and begin from 0 for the new block, making you lose the remaining chances that you had from the total plots.
  A reasonable time I think would be like 30s most.
  Hope this could be of some help :)
