So, I have my 8700k (it is 6core-12threads). I have a spare 1tb samsung 860 that im plotting on (that should die by the end of the month) and I have a 4tb external HDD(where i am storing my plots for farming.

My buddy is getting me a 1.6TB enterprise ssd for when my samsung kicks the bucket. I am thinking of buying a 2-4 18TB WD external drives and just plugging them into my 4 spare usb 3.0 in my tower.

Right now I am only doing 1 at a time in my queue for plotting. I havent been able to find out proper settings for parrallel plotting, and I am not sure what the best settings for the 8700k with 32gb of 3600mhz ram is. So im just dicking away at 1 at a time. Im assuming I could overclock my 8700k and speed up plotting time maybe.

I guess you dont really start making money until your external drives are absolutely filled. I think it said 4tb gets you roughly $10usd a day. So your not making good money until those drives are filled to the tits


Can someone explain to me how the plotting SSD size matters? like if you can only plot 2 or 3 at a time, that only takes up 4gbs(each plot is only 1.1gbish) before it finishes and transfers the plot to your external big TB drives
