Upgrade a 9 years old computer to plot on HDDs? (0.9TiB/day?)

Hey!

I guess you can also use this machine for plotting, just plot with 2 threads and 3400 RAM, then Just check the debug.log file to see if farming is affected in any way, but I doubt it, I think you have enough resources to plot and farm on this machine.

Imho you are wasting resources on this machine. Maybe you can plot 4 in parallel on that NVME drive; with 2 threads, 3400 RAM and 2h stagger between each plot. But I would recommend you trying first only with three though.

Sure, go for it! I think the idea behind this project is using resources we already have available (at least at the beginnings :upside_down_face:).

Best of lucks with your farm! :man_farmer:
