Oh dude I’m flattered and happy the post has helped! Exciting!
Do we have the same CPU and 2x 1TB Samsung 980 Pro’s in the plotter build? If so, I just did this analysis last night and captured some of what I found with our setups here:
So the end result is more waterfall than popping 4 parallel plots every 4hrs like you mention, BUT, I don’t know if it’s necessarily better.
The one thing I can’t have though is more than 7 plots exist on the 2TB RAID 0 I plot on, because then the disk fills and ALL threads lock up waiting for space to appear (they check every 5mins).
So with your approach, I’d be really nervous about that 8th plot coming into existence before the 1st plot had a chance to move off the disk and the temp files cleaned up.
BUT if you’ve been running this just fine, then I guess it works and I’ll need to dial my timings in a bit here.
