@haitch It's summer nearly in NZ as you probably know and we don't get much snow around residential areas so that shouldn't be an issue but since power in NZ is so expensive (about 23 cents per kWh for me) it should pay for itself over time - well as long as it's sunny.
I'm hooked up to a fiber internet connection too with a wired connection and its been working solid since I had it installed.

I have a Sapphire HD 7970 ready to go. Waiting to upgrade the stock PSU.

Very nice

Dude maybe you should optimize your plots or run the GPU miner in order to readd those plots faster ;D
-
@Luxe How did you get your read speeds so fast. The best I've managed is 550 MB/s with a RX 470. My 7950 Does it about 400 MB/s
-
@RiskyFire Well guess there are multiple factors ... number of disks, as they are read parallel (as far as possible with limited threads), also i tried not to add to much hdds to a single controller ... and i have a workstation motherboad with 40 pcie lanes and quite fast 4 channel memory.
-
@luxe Okay, thanks I'm trying a few things here.
Also with your external drives do you have them plugged into the mains? or running them off a small psu. I'm thinking like those ones gridseed was using to power 10x usb miners.

Hi luxe, what do you mean by that the disks are read parallel? Is this something to do with the organization of your plot files throughout your drives?

@goodplanets One thing I've found that helps with plotting is a high speed drive for the pagefile - I'm replotting my 60TB drive and threw a PCIe NVMe drive in the rig, and created a 64GB page file on it, removing the pagefile on the physical drive - it's been running great.
For mining, if using CPU, try and use a CPU with at least as many threads as you have drives.
That's kind of hard to sustain long term right? If you want to have more than 8 or 16 drives..
-
@nox The miners are multi-threaded - there are separate threads reading each drive at the same time.

No, by using more than one USB controller
-
@nox my miners have between 8 and 16 drives - I can pair a CPU to match the capacity.
-
@RiskyFire Not sure if i understood your question right ... external drives use the power supply they had included. They are plugged in usb3 from Mainboard and additional USB3 controllers with dedicated controllers for each usb3 slot.
@nox No it just means that your speed increases with every additional drive, as read speed adds up ... so you will never reach read speed of 100 drives with just 10 drives. Or in other words ... The more drives you attach the higher the overall read speed ...

The photos in this thread get me aroused.
Here is one of my Burst Mining rigs.
The O.G Burst Gadget is his name.

wow, I just started and the pictures make my little 4 tb seems sooo small like I just started mining bitcoin with a antminer S1 200 ghz LOL.

S1 200 ghz
Great way of losing money unless you have free electricity., or need the heat. :-)

Thankfully my miners are on free power but they aren't s1's

Drives:
4 x Seagate 5TB External
4 x WD 4TB Red Internal
1 x Seagate 8TB Internal
1 x 320gb Toshiba External (from an old laptop on a sata to usb connector lol)CPU: Interl Celeron g150
Ram 2 x 4gb Gskill
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 (also serves as my NAS, print server, seedbox, and Sickrage/Usenet/Torrent Client)
Plus a whole tangle of wires (all external drives bought off amazon with BTC and they have american plugs so I use adapters to australian)
Raspberry pi in the foreground is an adblocker (but makes it so I cant use surfbar)

@RichBC Thanks for the photos , you have a good configuration !
The external HDD is Toshiba disk ?
Have you got a card on back of your destop for the USB3.0 ?
A other question , it neccessary to format the when you buy it but what is the allocation size , the maximun 4096Ko in NTFS ?
Thanks soon
