Definitive Summary for Plotting & Farming

All,

I’ve attempted to craft a definitive summary for Plotting and Farming. This represents my best effort at the moment. I’m seeking assistance or support, as I believe that accurately resolving this will be advantageous for the entire community. Currently, a unified source of truth on this matter seems to be nonexistent, and clarifying this could really aid in specifying the machines necessary for Farming or Plotting. Recommendations on suitable machines, such as the M1 Mac Studio Ultra, M2 Mac Studio, NUC machines, or others, would also be appreciated.

Changed a couple months ago.
NOSSD added new plot compression levels to stay in a more-or-less tossup with GH and Drplotter.

Also, the original BladeBit RAM plotter needed 416GB RAM to generate plots that were not compressed, but it was quite a bit faster than anything that predated it. Not sure why you’re including the original MadMax plotter and not the original BladeBit plotter.
