Hello, fellow space farmers,
Can advise me on my settings?
Cpu (8 cores 16 threads) /2 = 12
Ram (64gb) /3400 = 18.823
Temp space 2x(2TB ) (3.6TB available / 256gb = 14.06
I am currently running 8 plots at the same time with 8 powershell windows.
4000 ram 2 threads settings.
Could i do more?
Is my additional 32gb ram and 2tb a wasted resource for my rig of 8 cores 16 threads?
For 8 core 16 threads build, is 2 TB enough?
If yes, i can use the 32gb + 2 TB on another setup. Just need to get 8 cores 16 threads cpu + motherboard n psu.
Pls advise
What is the brand and model of temp space that you are using?
Adata XPG SX8200 pro 2 TB m.2 nvme
Ok. I think you can do 12 plotters at once with 6 on each NVMe. I’m not sure if more plots in parallel will provide more performance though. The SX8200 loses performance once the SLC cache is filled:
You will have to run it and compare your results to 8 in parallel and see if its worth it.

Yeah that is an important graph. Reinforces my lesson: Always Go Samsung™.
Ok i will try that when i get home. Thank you so much for the advise.
Can i jump on this thread to avoid creating a new one?

Final space 4x HDD
Interested in stagger, pretty sure i’m going to get bogged down by single temp drive. Got a handful of 2TB SN750’s on the way but wont be here anytime soon (thinking 4 onto a hyper).
Using SWAR i’ve got 4 of the following job configs setup within the yaml for when ram arrives. (each with own final dest hdd). It’s only got a max of 4 concurrent in phase 1 but don’t want to clog up the temp when in phase 3…(?). Even if i went 12 wide, that’s massive on the single temp for ph.3 and 4x3 writes to HDD’s at near enough the same time.

The 4TB temp drive is a bit of a contention point as you have correctly identified. You’ll have to do some trial and error to see how much it can handle before diminishing returns sets in.
