After the popularity of graphics card mining, hard disk mining has suddenly become popular throughout the network recently. The typical representative is Chia coin. Because large-capacity disks are required during the mining process, the price of hard disks has risen wildly recently, and it is 2-3 times Skyrocketed.

Chia coin mining does not require high-end CPUs and graphics cards, so many people are eager to try, but the threshold for this coin mining is not necessarily low, and the storage system is very demanding.

An official account today summarized Chia coin usage instructions, and gave suggestions for SSD, memory, and hard drives, as follows:

SSD: SSD is a temporary storage center for data during the P disk process. The speed and size of the SSD determine how many tasks we can parallel at the same time, which is one of the decisive factors for the efficiency of the P drive. At least 256G hard disk can be used as temporary storage, but for P disk efficiency and SSD life consideration, we may need NVMe SSD above 1TB.

HDD: HDD is the final storage area for Chia mining. HDD determines how much farm we can store. The number of farms is directly proportional to the output. Considering the crazy price increase of large-capacity HDDs, HDDs below 8TB are recommended.

Memory: Memory provides addressing for the CPU and is the factory where the CPU processes data. The entire process of Chia mining takes up a lot of memory. The content usage on the graph is just a reference. In fact, it will be more powerful. Even if K=32 single image is opened, 16G memory is required on the computer.

The configuration of the general professional mining machine is above 32G. Therefore, if we want to mine more efficiently, we may need more than 16G of memory.

Refer to the Chia mining storage instructions, if we want a slightly more efficient mining, only storage products (SSD+HDD+Memory), we may need to spend about 3,000 yuan. With the shortage of storage products and the gradual increase in prices, Chia mining may cost more.

The official account stated that this is not to pour cold water on everyone, but just to remind everyone: Although the threshold of Chia mining is low, if you pursue output, then the cost is not low. The higher the cost, the higher the output/return. , But at the same time the higher the risk. At present, the situation of Chia coin is not obvious. Mining is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the pit (investment).
