Was it ever worth it?
I may be biased but I never took it seriously. Doesn't it wear out the drive?
Hard drives and SSDs have a limited lifetime that is shortened by heavy use.
Topic: Mining with your hard drive...Is it worth it? - page 2. (Read 514 times)
I've been checking out various cryptocurrencies on the market which can be easily mined via a Hard Disk Drive (also possible to mine them with a Solid State Drive). When using the mining calculator for Burst, I've noticed that mining with an HDD is not as profitable as it used to be a long time ago. Similarly, I've checked Storj and Sia's estimated earnings when renting your available HDD space, and everything was the same. Does this mean that mining with a hard drive is no longer worth it? Comparing other hardware for mining cryptocurrency, it seems to me that both GPUs and ASIC machines will give you the most profit in terms of USD.
What are your thoughts? Does HDD mining does have a future? Is it still worth it?
