Same Disks, same settings but Hdd writing scoops way slower on one machine.



  • I jus picked up a bunch of 3tb WD red HDDs. I want to plot them on two different machines using xplotter.

    Machine 1: Laptop with i7-4700mq, I am using 4 cores and 2gb ram. Hdd is connected via orico usb 3.0 dock.

    Plotting speed is around 4900 nonces/min. Hdd writing scoops is reaching 100% and stays at 100 untill batch is finished.

    Machine 2: Desktop with AMD 8350, also 4 cores 2gb of ram. HDD directly connected to sata port.

    Plotting speed is around 4400 nonces/min. But on this machine HDD writing scoops increases very slow. At around 30% or so it is getting gray and the CPU has to wait untill all scoops are written.

    Both HDDs are formated to NTFS/4096bytes

    What is going on, why is one machine slower on writing scoops than the other? I tried all 8 HDDs that I have. All of them are way slower on the desktop machine when writing scoops.

    Is there a way to optimize this?
