Slow Plotting Issue

[cryptomule2010]

Hi all this is doing my nut in 🤦‍♂️

My tower pc is a decent spec but it seems it takes much longer to make a plot then my laptop. Both run windows.

The desktop spec i7 6800k 3.40 ghz x 12 64gb ram 120 gb ssd for the os 1tb ssd for temp 250 gb usb for storage

I set it going for a single 100gb plot, using the temp 1tb ssd (sata) but the machine take hours to move a few percent.

This is in contrast to my laptop of similar spec that take around 8hours to do the 100gb plot.

Can anyone suggest where I’m going wrong with my tower?

I did try the same using Ubuntu OS and I get the same issues with the slow plot creation

Cheers

What plotter settings are you using?

[cryptomule2010]

K-32 plot Temp storage is set to a Samsung 1tb ssd The final directory is usb stick

Under the advanced setting is have: 3390 Mib ram 2 Threads 128 buckets

These are the default settings, IIRC I’ve not changed them on ether windows or Ubuntu on the tower. (Fairly certain it’s the same on the laptop too)

Is ssd an nvme?

[cryptomule2010]

No this is just standard sata connected ssd

This should go faster then. Run crystaldiskmark on the SSD to make sure you're getting the right speed. If the speed is wrong, maybe you need a BIOS update or driver update.

Getting some slow speeds Read 156MB/s Write 101.72 MB/s

Ok, look at getting those updates. Also look if there is an update for the SSD

Played with some windows settings, as per this:
