If you added wear hdd you can halve I think.
Well, I can say that I have been purchasing external HDDs for plotting.
In two months I can recover the cost of the HDD (Unlike the 6+ month minimum ROI on GPU mining equipment).
I now have HDDs that have paid for themselves and continue to generate income.
If it dies, so what? I have already recovered the cost of the drive... I'll just go get a new one.
How is this being portrayed as SO different that using GPUs or ASICs?
It's EXACTLY the same risk... and if managed properly, you will always be making money.
must say very cool community has developed here, like person showing how to optimize RAM usage.. it is great cause you will gain ever more not necessarily technical folks in due time
have a non rainy day unless is rainy tipping wise , we don't have BURST tipping yet but I feel it is one of these things that is going to literarily BURST and not just BURST coins into mainstream (and many other things) I would not worry about low price at all this year is dismal for everyone

I have missed so ca! If you have links ...
I've tested with 8TB external esata hdd in on two of my pc installed for some time, the use of the ram over than 10Gb, then on a linux 500MB.
Out of curiosity I tried to reinstall one of the two machine with Windows 8 and magically the use of the ram does not exceed 1.5GB.
So according to my test the use of the ram does not depend on the creation of pads or the basic system or machine.
That remains a mystery to me, the only track that I have is that may be having 32bit java installed before replacing the 64bits.
Sorry for my english
