Topic: Usb sticks don't last long for mining? - page 2. (Read 256 times)
I have a Sandisk running since 2016 and it never complained for quite some years,now I am back with Windows 10 mining because of me having the boards with a friend and not alone anymore and he likes Windows mostly because he is familiar with it.It is the problem of the brand,Kingston also are good,lately Corsair is bringing us the Voyager series which so far I have used it at work and is awesome just like anything else that Corsair produces.
I use Sandisk and have some almost 6 years old now mining everyday.
Is there anyone running hiveOS on usb stick that lasted over a year already? Mine keep dying on me after three months of use, they started behaving very slow and sluggish and at one point they stop booting up and once I go back to HDD the OS runs better
You must deactivate the logs if you are using a usb stick -> look in the FAQ from HiveOS
Yeah some are awful, Avoid cheap brands.. I've had many 'Intergral' USB pens die within days.
Buy Sandisk or Kingston brand.. I've had these operational for 2-3 years with very few failures.
