  @duncanvalen33 Get yourself an 8TB Seagate Barracuda or Barracuda Pro and plot to that first. Then copy to the Seagate expansion drive. I plot to a Barracuda Pro using a i7-8700k CPU at 40,000 nonces/min with TurboPlotter and it takes about 18 hours. Then I copy it to the Seagate expansion drive and it takes about 16 hours. It will start around 180MBs and then slowly slow down at the end to about 80MBs. In total it takes 34 hours. Best to get the Barracuda Pro for the longer warranty and larger MTBF. Read times with Blagominer are just as good as any other HDD at about 11sec if shucked and on a SATA connection. USB3.0 is about the same depending on how many drives connected to single HUB.

  I am the one that got the first "workstation/proof of concept PC" and I have to say this thing is a beast. The Xeon E5-2650 V3 CPU makes a perfect WS/Miner CPU you can be plotting and mining and still doing other normal days to day stuff. My machine has been running steady since I got it and it has not missed a beat. Haitch is a top notch guy, I am really pleased with my purchase and you can't go wrong getting him to build you a WS/Miner.

  @haitch I just finished building a workstation/proof of concept PC for a friend. His had a couple of additions over what I'm proposing - eg Dual GPU, 10Gb Ethernet ..... It's an E5-2650V3 Xeon in a consumer mobo. 10 Core/20 Thread, non ECC DDR. It runs like a champ, and would make a great desktop or mining build. I have a couple more of the CPU's and am happy to build more of these if anyone is interested: System Specs: Asus X99 Mobo Intel Xeon E5-2650 V3 CPU (10 core/20 Thread) with closed loop water cooling. Case: NZXT Mid Tower (11 x 3.5 Internal Drive bays) Corsair 750W Modular PSU 256GB Plextor NVMe PCIe OS Boot drive. DDR4 (non-ECC) RAM - tbd by buyer GPU - tbd by buyer Cost would be $900 + list cost of RAM + GPU + shipping. Other hardware upgrades modifications are possible. DM me. The system comes with NO HDD, just the SSD, but I can add 8TB White Label WD Reds for ~ $185 each depending on availability.

  Just purchased 32GB - wiFi 5 (ac/a/b/g/n) - $176.00 from haitch. Thanks @haitch. I know it will take a bit for you to build and ship so while I wait I got another 8TB drive inbound for my voiplanparty.com pool to boost the mining probability. V/r, Cybermancer

  @Jaxblack We have caught smurfs and gnome-like folk having dance parties on the CPU coolers with our security cameras @HiDevin These Burst rigs are hiding from the noise and heat of the rest of our mining warehouse~ This is the only space we have that does not have adequate ventilation~ which the Burst rigs really don't need So we put it to good use . . . besides, something about hard-drives and safes, just seem to go together

  I can sell you an old laptop if you want something cheap and simple to start with. It would be an old XP machine or something like that. I would just charge you for shipping and perhaps a beer.

  @eq , It's all good. I hit 4 Burst blocks yesterday, which is about twice my normal with the price rise that almost covered it.

  You can get a power strip surge protector that has wide-spaced outlets. I'm using a bestek 8-outlet desktop power strip with 2 outlets on each surface. Each two outlets can be controlled by independent switches. You can also get a swivel tap power strip that has swivel outlets, so you can rotate the outlet to any direction for larger plugs without interfering others.

  thanks @ChuckNorris Which miner are you using? If you're using some GPU assisted one, which GPU you have?:) You've said that you're using usb controller card with separate controller for each usb port. Which one - Sonnet Allegro Pro?
