@verdommeman That seems very low. I am getting 40,000 nonces/min with my i7-8700k.

@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 use ITbrain which is service in TeamViewer. You can monitor more then just processes and get notifications. If it goes down you can remote access via TeamViewer and restart.

Has anyone used hardware from DAT Optic? I was thinking about adding their Thunderbolt 3 JBOD (T12-SSJ.TB3) to my mining rig.
