@HiDevin I'd actually do it the otherway around - GPU mine, CPU plot.
-
@HiDevin Haitch recommended CPU plotting for plot reliability and once I eventually remove the 1TB from mining I don't want to replot the rest of the drives.
-
@haitch rly? I love the GPU plotter just because it gets things down so fast, I don't think I had any errors with it that's why :P
-
@HiDevin Yeah, I've got some GPU plots that are 100% good, and others I need to replot. I have zero CPU plots I need to redo. Plus, the restartability of the CPU plotter is something I love - been having powercuts, and that sucks when you're GPU plotting an 8TB SMR drive - with xplotter you just resume.
-
@haitch I was just direct plotting from gpuplotter 3 days ago 8tb seagate external idk if it was smr but it only took me a day and a half.
-
@HiDevin 8TB SMR drives are taking me a week .....

@HiDevin GPU plotting in direct mode? my system was generating the nonces fast, then painfully slow writing them to disk.
-
@haitch yea, 1 and 1/2 a day, idk what I did but the max transfer speed on this drive is 160MB/s
-
@HiDevin Mine start at that then go down to about 10MB/sec

@HiDevin Reading shouldn't be a problem - it's writing that's the problem. My SMR are reading at 121MB/s
-
@haitch oh ok, well then xD idk what's the problem with mine, maybe because im using my crappy cpu to read the plots lol
edit: I don't use gpu plotter bc it interrupts mining with nicehash atm
-
UPDATE
Mining has now stopped in order to plot the first new 8TB drive. As I mentioned previously all dividend payouts will continue to be made and I will pay out of pocket for the mining downtime.Well I decided to go ahead and turn the miner back on while plotting the new drive. I am plotting with my CPU and mining with my GPU now.
. Forgot to post these pics before but here are pics of the drive

@newsense2004 Congrats! This is one of the best advancement in the asset :)
-
@HiDevin Thanks. I was going to order another one but since It looks like plotting this one is going to take quite a few days I decided to hold off for now just incase the price of the drive goes down again. Once plotting is done there will be another one ready to plot. For now I plan to stick with the Seagate Backup Plus hub 8TB. They have a 2 year warranty, already registered the first one.

@newsense2004 are you still plotting the 8tb drive :?
