You should be able to run 10-12 plots at a time, 5-6 per disk, 40 minute stagger between each plot.
5-6 max in phase 1. 4 threads/plot

If you create two cues in Swar, you have to adjust the stagger or set minimum time between plots so you don’t start 2 plots at a time.
You can also make one cue and use the list option (see default config) so that it alternates plots between the drives.

Your ram is a little less then you might want to do 12 though. 10 plots should be ok, 12 might cause trouble. 48GB would be good, so if you can add 2x8GB

I also have 3900x and getting about 32 plots per day average. Some people have gotten more though on Linux and better ssd’s.

try 10 plots first and see how it goes

Yes I’m on windows as well
3900x, 3x1tb WD sn750 (raid0), 64GB 3200.

I think below config should be a good start. The memory will be close, but you should be ok like this .

this way it will start a plot on ssd1, then 40 minutes later a plots on ssd2, 40 minutes later 1 on ssd1, etc, etc until 10-11 are running at the same time.
