CPU and/or HDD aren't fast. I am preparing 3 X 1 TO disks (2.5 SATA) for mining and test...
If OK, i will make others (but not SSD, because too expensive)
Question : DISC coin will be OK for STACKING ? If OK, How ?
I get where your coming from
The ssd, literally needs borrowing for a week to help you plot, its the 3 x 1TB you plot to, not the ssd (its just a buffer effectively)
If you can't borrow an ssd, see if you can get your hands on any small fast drive, the WD Green/blue range, that kind of drive can be used as a buffer instead of an ssd, but so long as it is quicker than the drives you are finally writing to, it can make quite a difference.
Alternatively borrow as much ram as you can.
All you are trying to improve is the collating of lots of bits of data, so they can be written in bigger chucks. The bigger the chunks, the faster they write to the final disk. (if you ever want to try an experiment. Try copying 10,000 small files totalling around 100MB, then try copying 1 x 1GB file, you'll see what i mean, its similar principle. What you need is to find the fastest drive you can with the 10,000 small files, and use that as your "buffer" drive)
In your case, if you are plotting laptop drives, probably using any "modern" desptop drive as a buffer, will speed up the plotting....well, hopefully. If its going to take 3 days + to plot the drives, might as well do some tests for an hour first, who knows what you'll find
