Are smaller drivers better than big ones
-
Hi everyone,
So I'm new to this PoC coin mining and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea. After searching for a bit, I couldn't find any information on hard drive size vs speed vs cost. I currently have around 10TB that's just laying around and I want to use it to mine Burstcoin (I know it's not much but I want to test the waters :) )
Theoretically speaking, which is better:
10x 1TB HDD
or
1x 10TB HDDPlotting the 1TB would prob be faster since I can plot them simultaneously (Unless I'm wrong here). I've read that RAID or hdd rpm doesn't really matter (won't increase profitability). I don't plan to go big but I want to give this a shot :)
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

The 10TB drive because if you have space for 10 1TB drives that means you have space for 10 10TB drives

but if you already have drives just use those as individual disks then replace when you want to upgrade

Slots are no an issue. Just because the smaller the drive, the cheaper I pay per TB.
Example:
1x 10TB = ~$450
10x 1TB = $15 per TB = $150So if I ever plan to expand, I would prefer the 1TB drives as they are much cheaper.
I come from a world of Mh/s per second, so it burstcoin all about read speed per second? I'm going to use GPU for plotting and scanning (hopefully I'm using the right words haha).Thanks!
