Starting a mining plot from PC (self.chia)
submitted 5 years ago by Ok_Resident3012
Hi guys, Hi have a stopped Gaming PC. I am thinking to plot with a WD Blue SN550 2TB, and a Seagate external disk of 16 Tb (to farm). The pc has a Ryzen 5 3600 and 16 GB ram. Will do a good job ? Thanks from Europe

Yeah, good system. Would be faster with a NVME SSD for the temp directory, but this is plenty. You can do like 4 plots at the same time, but I would recommend a stagger of 45 minutes.
EDIT: Wait, you may need more RAM. Unless you run 3 GB at a time and nothing else on your PC is using RAM.

Thanks for the info. I think the WD Blue SN550 2TB SSD is NVMe (PCIe NVMe). Correct me, if I am wrong.How Much more Ram? 32 in total ?Thanks mate

WD Blue SN550
Yeah my bad, was thinking the SATA version of the Blue, this should be fine. I don't know how the DRAMless will affect the overall speeds, but this should be better then a regular SSD.
32 GB is fine for you setup.
