The Chinese have learned to mine on SSD. But it is not very profitable

 The drive quickly deteriorates, but saves energy


Despite the volatility of the bitcoin rate, its value again returned to the $ 60,000 mark, which has a positive effect on the entire cryptocurrency market. Against this background, Chinese miners have found a way to mine some coins using solid state drives.


Mining Chia, a cryptocurrency from BitTorrent creator Bram Cohen, requires heavy use of the hard drive. For acceleration, you can use the SSD as a temporary storage location for the graph file. However, the lifespan of such a drive will be seriously reduced, since the number of operations per minute performed with data will be simply off scale.


The Chinese have learned to mine on SSD. But it is not very profitable

On Reddit, users share their Chia mining farms, usually they look like this: processor - Ryzen R9 3960X , 256 GB of RAM, disk for system storage -  Samsung 980 Pro , as well as NVMe drive for mining business with 16 TB. A 1000 watt unit is used to power this. However, this is still much less power than is required for a classic farm with a bunch of video cards. 


So far, Chia mining remains a niche entertainment, so a shortage of solid state drives is not expected in the near future. But once the market gets bigger, consumer SSDs may be in the same situation as video cards now.

Resident Evil Village review. In the village of ghouls

-

Resident Evil Village turned out to be exactly what was expected of it: a larger and improved seventh part in all respects. If that's all you wanted to know about the game before its release, then we can assure you: Capcom has a competent horror action movie. True, without the slightest claim to innovation or other revelations. And now - in detail. Sometimes you involuntarily begin to sympathize with the developers. Have you ever tried to put yourself in the shoes of the team that needs to create the twenty-sixth part of one of the most famous video game franchises? Reboots, remakes, relaunches and other tricks are used to dress up a familiar doll in new dresses. At the same time, it is necessary to somehow preserve identity and recognition. Capcom has used all the tools at once: the classic parts of the series receive high-quality remakes, and the new ones appear in the form of a new line of "soft relaunches". In the seventh part, Resident Evil has successfully mastered...
