It's plenty - lots of miners that run their farms using USB "pen drives" to boot/run from.
Other than ETH and clones using older software that built the DAG file on the CPU/HD, and the "HD mining" coins like BURST/Storj/SIA, nothing in mining uses the HD very much if at all once it has started actually mining or needs a lot of bandwidth.
Some of my early mining rigs ran on EIDE interface hard drives - which were a LOT slower than anything SATA.
Topic: Would 1.5 Gbps HDD or SSD suffice? (Read 191 times)
Hi,
Just want to know that if I can use 160 GB HDD/SSD from my hp 6910p laptop (not sure thats HDD or SSD). One thing I want to point out that its 1.5 Gbps. I know space is OK but not sure if 1.5 Gbps would suffice or not.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Build a rig on a very simple HDD with a capacity of SATA-1 1.5 Gbit/s Conventional mining does not require high-bandwidth HDD (SATA-3/SCSI/SAS) or SSD use. This will be enough to operate Windows and miner.
What do you want to use it for?
In any case, SSDs are almost uncomparably faster when working with small chunks of data - which is the majority of everyday workload. So if capacity/cost is not your priority, SSDs are the way to go.

I assume it uses SATA? It will be only slow. It's definitly not SSD. Just want to know that if I can use 160 GB HDD/SSD from my hp 6910p laptop (not sure thats HDD or SSD). One thing I want to point out that its 1.5 Gbps. I know space is OK but not sure if 1.5 Gbps would suffice or not.
