any math geniuses can do up a simple chart for hard drive plot sizes?
1gb =
5 gb =
10 gb =
etc.?
1gb =

etc.?
What do you mean with "hard drive plot sizes"? The number of nonces?

I am mining with 3 drives:
Drive 1: 200GB plot: Found 8 blocks
Drive 2: 250GB plot: Found 2 blocks
Drive 3: 1 TB Drive, found 0 blocks, plot is still being generated.
Today another 4tb drive should be delivered on which i will experiment in generating fast plots. Have a idea for that but if this succeeds and many perople do this the diff will just increase.

how to see which drive found the block? thanks!
Each drive has its own series of plots. Since the plotfile is generated from the passphrase and the file resides within the same directory as run_mine.bat, i created another bat file and gave it the name of the drive letter. This way i know which address belongs to which drive. This means that i am using 3 wallets. So i know which drive generated which block simply by logging into the wallet using the correct address.

I have 4tb still waiting for plotting to complete.
How long did it take you?
it can't i suppose, because if you want to read or write the network mapped drivers, it will still download to your local first, like you can't edit file in the network mapped drivers directly,,if you can use the network mapped drives like local hdd,,,than who will by the hdd...just apply lots network mapped drives!
i have my miner running on a network mapped drive. i'm using one of my spare 4tb ext4 formatted disk in my qnap whose shared folder i have as a mounted drive on my windows 8.1 machine and i've found 4 blocks with it so far.

It would be nice if someone is able to confirm if mining is possible on the network mapped drives. Thx.

it's still going. it's a tad below 600GB and taken 1.5 days to get to this point. still lots more to do as i set the range from 0 - 8192000 and it's only onto 2316000 at the moment.

My i7 needs around 6h for a 250gb plot with 6 threads so...do the math xD

is it normal i see 0/24 Up-to-date Peers ? found 0 blocks in 12 hours of 200 gig

which better -Xmx?
-Xmx4000m better or -Xmx1000m or -Xmx3000m or -Xmx8000m............?
-Xmx4000m better or -Xmx1000m or -Xmx3000m or -Xmx8000m............?
Depends on the staggering size, 4000m is enough for 8096 -> 2gb from ram to hdd
But i reduced it with my machines, some couldn't handle to write that much.
Imho 4000m is enough and i create my plots with 2048 or 4096
my cpu corei7 2600k RAm 8gig ddr3 i can use -Xmx8000m?
No you can't from 8GB ram you only can use 7.XGB or lower.

So I just woke up to find my 100gb plot (server) found a block, the 1tb rig and 500gb still have yet to find one, I got block 726 with 100gb plot, 3 days worth of mining, totally worth it 
Edit - So this means that regardless of the hashing power and number of nonces you have, its just pure luck pretty much that you find the hash with the smallest deadline

i believe so ... may be so much nonces , only one is useful, every nonce will do the computation with the number transferred from server(so, the wallet must be opened first and connected to the server, or the miner will report can't get info from the wallet error), then it will get a deadline, and when the time reached, it will choose the smallest deadline from your whole nonces to subimit to the server, then server will choose the smallest deadline of every account, then the smallest will be the lucky one ,so you have more nonces,,you have more chance to be the lucky one, but still can mine with little capacity if you are lucky enough

As usualy, there is always an avg blocktime but for example when i was mining XPM i had an avg of 1 block per day, that could mean up to 7 days without a block or 3-4 within 24h - random & luck

anyone able to tell me what happens if you run out of hdd space before a plot is finished 
Nothing, its just like mid-generation, you will mine with what you got so far and it will throw an error at the end because it couldn't read the last one, no biggy.
