@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 ?

@Njcfamily31907

Hi how are you ?

i have a questions

what is the protocol that you use with you server it is DAS , NAS, SAS ?

What is the model and compagny of your server ?

The disk are in RAID 0, 1 ,2, 5, 10 or 100?

Thanks soon

[RichBC]

@Neo38 The HDD are Toshiba Canvio USB3 Drives. 10 Drives are connected to the inbuilt USB3 Ports on the Mother Board, and the remainder to 4 Channel USB3 PCI-e interface cards, so that every drive has an individual controller to keep the read speed up. 80TB is scanned in 10 seconds.

I leave the drives as they are supplied, formatted NTFS 4096 Byte Allocation Unit.

@Neo38 Hi, they are directly attached using three http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124070 , I do not use any RAID.

So Focus 5 had issues reading the 8tb and 10TB drives when they were USB so I got an 8 port sata controller card and I made a plexi rack for them, no more read errors !!

[jmeek82z28]

lurked for along time. but here's what i have

I use a lsi 9211-8i HBA + the onboard sata (theres another 4port sata hiding in there too i think). If i expand any further, it will be with a SAS port expander on the HBA.

this is also the plotting box. it runs a R7 270 + 12gb ram that if i'm plotting multiple drives can hit 36k nonce/min

7x HGST 3TB ultastars
3x WD Blue 4TB
few other misc 1-2 tb WDs I've had since the beginning (15 total attached)

Not sure if anyones interested anymore but here's my new setup

[cornerstone]

@weaveR Nice to see. New to Burst... just reading through some posts and I was hoping this thread was not dead. Lol I love to see ideas and see how other people handled where do I put this stuff!?!?!
(small apartment here.)

[CesBurst1782]

Thanks,

@cornerstone Haha yeah I just live in a small cottage don't really want a fire hazard I tried my best to keep it tidy.

[iKnow0]

@weaveR some details on your hardware would be good.

[weaveR]

@iKnow0 Both the mining rigs are i5's the lenovo to the bottom left is a Lenovo ThinkCentre M92p with a 3470 3.2Ghz CPU and 10Gb ddr3 ram (not sure what speed its running at) and the custom built machine has a z77-v pro mb, i5-3570k CPU and 16gb of gskill 1866 ddr3 ram

[iKnow0]

@weaveR how big are your plots and how long on average for your miner to read them?

[weaveR]

@iKnow0 I've got screenshots of all the plot filenames if you want to have a look at those. and 35 seconds. I'm still plotting on the custom computer I only just installed the hard drives in it.

[hoooood]

@Focus are they plexi racks self made?

[weaveR]

I took a picture of the guts of my custom PC for anyone interested. Have a laugh at my cable management lol.

[ctt]

How many Burst coins does 24 TB generate per month with average network difficulty?

It looks like 75% of all Burst coins are already generated based on CoinMarketCap, is that true?

It will cap at 2.1 Billion Burst Coins?

Has anyone knocked off the hard drive 'plot' concept?

[Gibsalot]

@ctt not sure about 24TB .... but me personaly with 14TB i earn an average around 280 burst per day ...it can varry.
yes aprox 75% has been mined alredy however burst has a built in -5% block reward every x amount of block's aprox every 30 day's witch puts burst at fully mined out no newly minted coins at somtime around 2027 - 2028 , all transaction fee's are included in the blocks as rewards so as long as the value of burst continues to go up mining will still be profitable even after its been mined out. 2.1 bill is the cap. as far as i know the only HDD competition Burst has is Storj witch uses HDD's in a completley dif way..... thou there is talk of Bram Cohen pitching a HDD mined coin , watched a few youtube videos of it basicly he is reading from the Spacement Whitepaper witch i believe is the whitepaper Burst was built on.... he never mentions Burst by name but states there are coins out there that try to do what he wants to do but they are " Broken" acording to him , the why he says it is broken and how it fix it ... is completly false about burst coin and his Fix is almost exactly how Burstcoin works ... it has to do with making Time relevent in the mining process witch burst does ... anyone running a pool or solo mining will tell you make sure you synq your clock to a known time source lol there are a few threads in this forum reminging people to do that.
