Nvme

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.
