CPU importance
-
@Blago I wonder if I'm not seeing high CPU usage because I only have a few plots totaling 223GB right now.
Every time I get some free time, I plot a few more GB to keep it growing
-
@rds Can you give me a snap of your miner prompt to see your specs?
-
@mrgoldy , what is the "miner prompt". Do you men a screenshot of the miner window?
-
@rds yes. sorry, I refer to it as a prompt because it looks like a DOS prompt. I will refer to it as the miner window from now on.....noob mistake

Here is my last scan on my local machine. The scan rate is reduced because I'm plotting a file and also doing a drive to drive file transfer. If these ops were not running the scan time would be near 230MB/s.

This is your netbook ?

@mrgoldy Mining 223GB is nothing, GPU start to matter if you reach 30+ TB.

@rds
I'm wondering if a dual core netbook ~$150 would be able to handle a few TB.
Is there a topic on specs, and what new configurations people are putting together? like what's the min you can get away with spending but still have a good rig?
There's got to be certain ratios with CPU power per TB and when to go to GPU.

@mrgoldy You have a good CPU - 8 cores (16 if used HyperTreading), so you can plug 16 drives w/o any problems.
I tried AMD Duo (2 cores) with 2 * 2Tb drives - ~35 sec

@Blago right, but it's my work laptop (work from home) so I'd like to setup a rig independently in the basement that just runs 24/7

There's got to be certain ratios with CPU power per TB and when to go to GPU.I think it would be able to handle a few TB, but if you get one like mine, for another $150, you can handle 70TB+
