@Propagandalf It takes 20 seconds to scan my 50TB of optimized plots, so 40 seconds isn't bad at all.
@Burstde Yeah, I noticed that even compared to the 4TB Expansion drives sitting right next to the 8TB ones, that the 8TB ones were hotter to the touch just doing Burst mining until I put a fan right under their butts.

@Propagandalf @sevencardz It takes me like 32 seconds to scan 28.3TB all the hard drives I'm using have slow RPM though.

My WD external is about to get a circle cut out of its plastic for a vent fan. It it goes well I will post a photo but as far as internal drives go there are cooling solutions. Like a plate that screws on and fans vent the spindle bearings i saw on ebay. I bet water cooling cpu blocks could be attrached lol
