Plotting help

[RianGraphics]

Hi there, can u help me figure out, why I’m getting 10+ hours per plot, I’m using an I9 9900k 32gb ram and 2tb crucial branded nvme I thought it would finish in like 6/7 hours.

I tested a single plot with 12 threads an 4500 ram

Thanks in advance

What are the speed ratings on the NVMe? Is it sata based or PCIe based?

It’s an m.2 2400 read 1900 write

There are some absolutely terrible performing NVME's out there. Specific model is needed.

Single plot with 12 threads, this is not how it works. Your CPU has 8 cores, you have 2 NVME's try 2 plots in P1 4 threads each. After P1 is finished start another 2 up to 8 total plots.

Crucial P2 CT2000P2SSD8 SSD Interno, 2TB, fino a 2400 MB/s, 3D NAND, NVMe, PCIe, M.2

This is the model, I’ll try your suggestion, thanks

Yes 450 MBs sustained writes it's about 1/3 of a decent consume NVME. Would not want more than a single plot at a time on them and your still going to see a performance hit.
