Title: Nvme Post by: gueorguiev on July 13, 2017, 12:19:30 AM With the recent uprising of Nvme SSD's I was wondering if there were any advantages in having one over lets say a HDD,SSHD, or SSD while mining things like Burstcoin or renting out space like Storj. If so, is it worth getting one or is the difference negligible?
Title: Re: Nvme Post by: LoneRangir on July 13, 2017, 12:22:34 AM I would guess that the access speed at the client level would be dwarfted by the access time at the WAN level.
I could be wrong, though. Title: Re: Nvme Post by: bathrobehero on July 13, 2017, 12:43:55 AM Even super slow HDDs are enough for Burst/Sia/Storj. For Storj your bottleneck will be CPU/RAM/bandwidth way before disk speed.
Besides, per gigabyte SSD prices are super high compared to disks which makes it a bad investment.

Besides, per gigabyte SSD prices are super high compared to disks which makes it a bad investment. So best bet would be to get a cheap HDD with like 4-5TB. Any idea what the life span on those are while using Storj or mining Burst. Is it an intensive process?

Any idea what the life span on those are while using Storj or mining Burst. Is it an intensive process? I only mine Storj and disk activity is pretty low. But it depends on how much of the shared space is filled which takes months to get even ~20 GB. I don't know about Burst, I haven't mind it in years. |
