Question about reading speed
-
Had a question about the reading speed, which I am quite clueless about, hope anyone can answer.
Was mining at EU with reading speeds at about 13/14 seconds, after trying some other pools I am back mining at speed below:

How can the slowdown be explained? Are the stats ok?
-
@BurgerBaron going from 13/14 to 15 seconds is hardly a big change, there is always going to be some variation in mining times/speed.
-
@haitch thanks for your answer. Is 15 seconds ok? And is there a possibility to optimize that?
-
@BurgerBaron The average round time is 4 minutes, so 15 seconds is fine.
-
@BurgerBaron i mine at about 40 seconds and barely lose any deadlines, your fine
-
I have much higher times than 15 seconds on a drive, however, most of my storage is on drives 3TB and higher. My issue atm, is I have USB 3.0 drivers, and the computer(s) they are attached to are only USB 2. I am going to fix that, however its not a problem for me atm. Once I add more drives, it will be unless I get a USB 3.0 card.

@stupendelious @tomahawkeer Thanks for your replies guys, seems im fine :) Toma, these plots are both internal drives, so that must be the difference in speed
-
@BurgerBaron If that drives are the same physical drive as the OS and if the OS is writing at the disk in the moment you start mining another block the reading speeds will have a variation...
