https://verus.io/discord Verus Discord - In today's video of we're going to discuss what's the best hard drive and SSD to use mining the Chia Network. On another note the audio on this is not the best unfortunately there's something wrong with my mic I ordered a new one but I wanted to get this information out to you guys as fast as possible instead of waiting.

About This Video

what’s going on cryptocurrency universe, it’s a bitcoin miner here. in this video i break down what i think is the best hard drive and ssd setup for chia mining/plotting, and more importantly, how to stop burning up drives. chia plotting will absolutely destroy regular everyday ssds and m.2s if you run them full blast—i’ve seen it where you’re basically looking at a 30-day lifespan on lower-end drives. that’s why i tell people flat out: don’t plot on your primary operating system drive. use a dedicated plotting drive, and build your rig with endurance in mind. i walk through endurance ratings (tbw / writes) and why that number matters more than marketing speeds. gen4 m.2 drives can be “decent,” but you’re still realistically looking at a few months if you’re hammering 12–14 plots in parallel 24/7. once you’re spending gen4 money, my personal opinion is you might as well look at real data center u.2 drives—specifically the intel dc p4510 series—because the endurance per dollar is just better, and i can run 14 in parallel when i stripe two 2tb drives. after plotting, storage is a different game: cheapest cost per terabyte and reasonable power. bigger drives are better long term because fewer spindles means less standby power. i also talk about internal vs external (and shucking), vibration considerations, and how usb hubs can be the easiest path for home setups until you scale past it.
