Yep.. Unoptimized plots are VERY slow. Might also be that your discs are reading at the same time then you finish reading all discs but one. And on that disc the max read speed is 130

RE: Are my plots any good?posted in Mining & Plotting
It improves read times alot. Does nothing to deadlines.
Its in your best interest to have good read times. -

They are okay as far as nonces go. But you should optimize them. Use the Optimizer tool found in the software section of the forum.

RE: How much space do you leave on your harddrives?posted in Mining & Plotting
Dang thanks guys. I really thought that would be an issue. I guess i got a few extra hundred GB to plot then.

How much space do you leave on your harddrives?posted in Mining & Plotting
You should leave some space on the harddrive right or it will cause issues? I´ve heard it shortens the HDDs lifespan and that it slows down the writing/reading speeds and sh*t like that. Personally ive plotted every drive so theres a 100gb un-used space, should i lower that?
How much space do you guys leave?

RE: Need help plotting driveposted in Mining & Plotting
Post pictures of your nonces. Size should be the same if its the same amount of nonces.

RE: Will either of these work for mining eth or other cryptos decently?posted in Other AltCoins
There are calculators to crosscheck electricity consumption towards hashing rate. As for Burstcoin they deliver around 20k nonces per minute if im not misremembering, someone who owns the card can confirm.

Anything. Over the long run it will even out. Expect what the calculator say +- a few hundred daily

RE: Best way to set up a 1 PB Farm?posted in General Discussion
The best way to set it up and do it all within a reasonable timeframe:
1: Buy 5 computers with Rayzen CPUs and 580RX GPUs
2: Connect 24x8tb external drives to each computer. With the hardware you can plot a dozen TBs of optimized plots per day
3: When plotting is done sell of CPUs and put weaker ones in your Burst miners. Put GPUs in mining rigs for other coins.
You bottle neck will be the plotting. You have to have several really good computers to plot that much within a reasonable timeframe. The whole project will occupy ALOT of real life space, expect a whole room. Produce alot of heat and noise.
As for ROI its pretty hard to speculate.
