Which SSD should I go for? five 4tb or twenty 1tb

Chia Plotting

I was trying to plot 30 in parallel but it took 20 hours to complete.

I’m currently using 5 4TB nvme ssds. Should I switch to 20 1TB ? Will the be quicker or slower?

Thank you for your help!

I think it the same, Can I know your PC spec?

30 in parallel over 20 hours is really good.

I was expecting it to finish within 12 hours. Do you think I can do 60 in parallel and finish within 12 hours after the upgrade tmr?

Are you plotting them all at the same time or staggered with delay?
