Using SSd's on LSI 9200-16e is a bad idea, since it does not support SSD Trim, and the controller SAS2008 is too slow for SSD IOPS and datarate. You will also be limited to half speed, throughput on the PCI-e 2.0 x8 bus. (bus is approx. 4gigabyte/s bandwidth, and 16x6gbit sata is 12GB/s for the data links, and about 16*600MB/s = 9.6GB/s Data rate to the ssds Better go with LSI 9207 or 93xx series cards to get PCI-e 3.0 and SSD trim support,
Agreed!!! I have been recommending the 9200-16e for many 3.5" hard drives but not the ssds -- pinned this comment. I just caught my mistake in the video.
@@SlothTechTV I liked the video. I actually started to think about doing it. Trying to figure it out now. I never did it and I'm in Ireland so have some problem with parts. Do you have any more advices hit me:) with reply. Limited budget but I could go max few k.
Very useful video! Finally someone who doesnt spend half their video talking about what they are gonna talk about and their channel instead of the subject we came here for!
Great vid. Nice to just hear the info straight up and not a has been who is now greedy and just doing paid promos constantly. I subscribed! Keep up the awesome communication. Thank you!
Dude, these videos are outstanding. Please don't ever give up. Talk to any successful content creator and they'll tell you the first 100,000 subs is the hardest. With CHIA just starting out, there aren't many channels for people like me that are trying to learn more about farming. I just found you yesterday, but this channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. You're a great teacher. Keep going and let the CHIA market swell take care of the rest.
Found your channel a few days ago from this video, and a T5810 is on the way. Of course I'm already plotting faster than my drive supply, so maybe I've got a problem. :) Anyway, I wanted to say that I really appreciate your style. You're well prepared, and calm and reassured, and that sticks out among "the competition". Definitely earned my sub.
You got me. Ordered T5810, Xeon 2690-v3, 4x480GB INTEL S4510 for plotting, and a number of external 4TB WD/Samsung drives (best GB per buck ratio at the moment) :)
Fantastic video! I'm all in. Setting up 6 plotting rigs with 5600x and 32tb storage each (I already had all the gear). Consumer Samsung OEM NVMe 1 and 2tb drives on the front end, 8tb cudas on the back end. Even with my years of mining experience, this is pretty wild!
I have just set up my build (different to yours) just installing Linux as i type on my laptop, found your vid very interesting and i will be coming back to it for the start of plotting, was really clearly explained and you didn't get all techy on us by using terms not everyone will understand, so please keep to that because some of the vids i have watched i have to google to see what the term is they used! please keep to the same format for future ones, you have a new subscriber and I'm sure others will follow, im sure the way you do your vids will get you over that 10k subs soon!
After watching numerous video my questions as follow before jumping investing and farming chia. 1. Once plots created you keep them in the HDD and store them away physically? 2. The cost to run this 24/7? Any breakdowns on this say AVG per week/month 3. I guess it need to be online 24/7 to creating plot and later stage farming chia 4. Will windows 10 home be ok for say 20 plots or window server required? 5. WIN VS MAC, Linux etc which of these system is most beneficial for chia plot/farm 6. Do you need to tweak and get it running or is an easy click and install thing? 7. Before starting this farming I can assume you need a wallet to store the chia or it will be uploaded to Thier server? Sorry for all these basic question, since you are a genius and more knowledgeable than me I reach out to you
This was my immediate impression. He admits when it's hard to estimate something directly, doesn't feel a need to be sensational or include information for the sake of it. Good stuff. I like objective people, especially in the crypto space.
Ordered the T5810 but it came with the 425W power supply. Will that work with the E5-2699 V3 when it arrives? Was your T5810 a 685W or 425W? Thank you.
Love this video, so informative! Basically converted my old gaming rig to farm chia but this is a great option for a 2nd dedicated build! Hodl strong! :D
Found you the day after my i9-10850K build bits arrived, I have the same Samsung 2TB M2 , will see how many plots I can get done in fastest time to fill initial 28TB. I am going water cooled so at least 5.5Ghz will help. Many thanks for a great tutorial
@@techmumus6780 Just finished the build, the cooler I got is not coping over 5Ghz so will run at 4.9Ghz until I swap out. Scheduled 30 plots to run 8 in parallel with a 60 min launch window, will check in the morning for the seconds per plot
Wow.. Really good in-depth and technical overview of the options for one of these builds! Very nicely done! I'm looking into this option-set now.. Another thing I'm seriously looking into is building out a datacenter (Supermicro) motherboard with 512Gb of RAM and doing plotting from RAMDISK temp storage space to long-term farming system mass-storage for finished plots, with large rack mounted arrays of drives. Thanks again for the great video! Keep it up!!
Can you please post or do a video on the settings you used to get 42 plots per day? parallel? how many threads? how much ram allocated? Please and thank you.
so with 18 core and 32 thread how many plot you make in parallel at once and how long delay before it start so i it can reach 40 plot per day thx i using i7 10700 2tb nvme drive and 32 ram only can make 13-14 plot per 24 hr
Hi thanks for the video! With this build, how do you connect the all molex 4 pins from the Mini-SAS SFF-8088 to 4 X SAS SFF-8482? Do I have to have an external power supply or can I connect them to the t5810's powersupply or motherboard?
Ha, I have a dell precision T5810 with 48GB mem that was my old truenas server sitting under my desk right now doing nothing. It has 20TB of disk just sitting there. I need to get busy!
it really depends on the HBA you use to connect the drives. each drive is technically limited to 6gbits/s .. combined the available throughput will be added together.. so 2x6gbps =12gbps. This works as long as your HBA can handle those speeds.
@@SlothTechTV thank you for the information I really appreciate it. This is confusing for me I'm not much of a techy lol. Just wanted to see if combined it can match my Samsung 970 evo
Hello, I am just wondering if you can give us a complete breakdown of what your chia setup is. I am looking at purchasing 12 of those S3700 ssd's but other then the e5-2699 v3 and T5810... do I just house all of those S3700 inside the T5810? Much Thanks!
I really enjoyed your video. I went and bought the budget setup you suggested. Would you be willing to post a video or put the settings in the comments on how you manage the 40 plots per day? I realize there will be variables.
I bought a HP Z440 with a Xeon e-5 2698 v3, 64 gb ram ddr4, system comes without hdd . My question is what plotting drives should I buy to be compatible with this system and also a drive for operating system?Thank you, really good explaining video.
Yes, but most ISP's will rate limit any Tx over 1TB per month on a residential connection unless you upgrade to a business account, if you want to sell plots you'll need to factor that cost in, or collocation which would be the more sensible option without farming as that would be an expensive waste of rack-space.
Can you share the exact configurations and plot settings please. Exact Cpu, ram, SSDs (how many and chosen config), as well as plot settings. Many thanks.
The builds you suggested have Intel C612 boards that are PCIe 2 compatible. Are you able to use the m.2 to PCIe adapter you suggested with that Gen 4 NVMe?
The C612 boards have PCIe Gen 3... The gen 4 drives can be used, they won't operate at gen 4 speeds.. but honestly they barely hit speeds that make gen 4 worth it anyway as is... not to mention the fact that CHIA doesn't actually utilize gen 4 speeds because it doesn't move data that quickly even if the drive can.
I have 2 1Tb 980 and I run separate plots at eight hours each I have 32 gigs of memory and a thread ripper 24 core and it seems to just take forever to do anything. I’m also running to separate plots on the separate drives. It is definitely using a lot of my processing power. What can I be possibly doing wrong? Also if my wallet is not in sync is that a problem? It’s on sync on one of my computer so I have 15 computers all plotting but the best I’m getting out of most of them are an average of two plots per day.
How hot does this make the cpu run? Just bought 3 of the dual cpu setups. But I'm trying to figure if the stock set up is enough to keep them cool. You didn't mention anything related to keeping them cool but I would think using all the cores on the processor would run hot. Do we need to run bigger coolers or even water coolers on these?
If you combine your SSDs on a raid0, the endurance of each doesn't just add up since the failure of one of them means the failure of all your raid storage.
Hey man, how about RAM speed? Have you found any significant difference of using faster ram? I am currently plotting on 2TB Samsung NVME with a i9 11900k and 32Gb RAM. I currently assign 3,900 RAM and one core, so doing 8 Plots at a time. Do you think if I add some extra RAM to be able to assign 5,000 per each plot will make a ton of difference? Also, at this point, staggered at 60min seems to work fine, however I did not really time measured and I don't know if I am doing the best in terms of productivity.
u use 2 2tb nvme at the same time? do you start with 2 plots each nvme and stagger them after 60 min? with how many threads you plot then and how many simultan at max?
I would love to see an answer to this questions. also, is there a downside of using 2x2tb vs 1x4tb of ssd? and the same for the ram, using 2x16gb vs 4x8gb ?
Its nice that you like my commentar Sloth, but it would really nice to get an answer to my questions. I have a Setup with Ryzen 9 5900x, 128GB RAM, 4 2TB Temp M/U2 SSDs and get only 32 Plots/day with a Plot Manager. So im wondering how you will get 40/day. Maybe i can improve my Setup If you give us the numbers. Thanks.
Great video! I have some questions 1 - In terms of *storing* the plots (the permanent drive farming process), would it be fine to use HDDs since they're cheaper and can hold more? I'm unsure where we'll store this since the 2TB Samsung SSD's are for the temp drive process. I didn't quite understand. 2- Will an e7 8890 18 LGA 2011-1 be able to sustain all of this? I just want to be able to get the processor and SSD/Hard Drives quickly before everything gets sold out! And then I can take my time getting the less demand products. Thanks!
I just got into chia bought a single 3 tb and uh....I get about a plot a day. I do have ssds, but given my relatively low income, a cheap 3 tb HDD was my foot in the door. I currently have about 1.2 tb filled up.... I plan on buying like a used i5 laptap, attaching either a NAS or a Docking station, and just farm in the closet.
Nice video! I always get confused by this, but how can you hit 40 plots a day when you are starting a plot every hour? Cause at 19-20 plots on a 1hr stagger you'll only have your all those plots start in 19-20hrs meaning you'll only be starting a plot every hour in a 24 hour day. Are you starting multiple plots at the same time every hour?
That is a REALLY good question and I actually appreciate you asking it. You are absolutely right with the math you did above. but lets say I have 2 sets of drives in a raid 0 -- so 2 plots will start at the same time one for each raid 0 with a 60min stagger that means in 24 hours it *could* be capable of 48 plots, but realistically the machine can't do the ~24 that could be running all at once if they each took 12 hours, so I would have global limits of say "no more than 20 plots at once" to keep it from bombarding the CPU with interrupts. It can get a bit more complicated than this with phase and minor phase tuning but I hope thats a decent explanation. Its a balance of setting how many can be in Phase 1 at the same time A global limit of concurrent plots Total stagger time
@@SlothTechTV So what is your temp space layout for hitting 40 plots? Are you saying you have two raid-0s with each raid having 2x2TB? So a total of 4 TB of temp space? I'm just trying to get an idea of how much temp space we would need for this sort of build. I just imagine that becoming a bottleneck real fast if its any less that 4 TB.
@@dynizzle3166 At peak while doing 20 plots at a time (with proper stager and delay between phase 1 and phase 2) youre looking at somewhere between 149-180GB per plot .. with the right stagger you can get this closer to 150GB per plot, but these numbers are hard to summarize as there are a lot of factors and it really comes down to how well you balance the concurrent plots. (great question btw)
Just purchased a T7810! Is it technically possible to add two E5-2699 v3's?! Just out of curiousity more than anything, I wouldn't know what to do with more than 40 plots/day for storage. Also, what is that AOI cooler that's in the beginning of the video?
Buying servers as they will have a lot of cores for plotting is a good idea. I’m still not sure about temp option: consumers sss or sas sss or multiple smalls fast sas hdd. Can you give me some advise about pros/cons of each option? Thank you.
I am trying to understand how much does processor speed matter here? I understand cores / threads but what is stopping anyone from buying an older gen Xeon like T36xx Dells and using 10-12 core processors from that gen?
I've been averaging 14 plots a day with this set up. Still takes about 10 hours per plot. With that size SSD, you can only do 7 at a time. Also, must get an extra fan as heat will crash your PC.
With the 40 plots per day setup how long will an 18tb hdd last until it's full? My T5810 will be here this week. How many internal hdd's are in your t5810 setup?
@@SlothTechTV I was lucky enough to get everything on your Amazon list to build this same exact rig. I should get everything by May 21st. Really excited about this project. Thanks for taking time to reply.
Hey new to the channel, new to mining, and building computers in general. My question to you is, the prebuilt 7910's you have the links to don't need any extra parts to mine safely? Are they just plug and play, or do I need to upgrade parts to mine that rough figure you mentioned $6800/month (it's probably more now since chia is soo much higher)? thanks for the info, keep it up cause your making it happen for all of us we owe you. Thanx again.
Hi, I bout the pc, name and the adapter, I can see the fire Ida in bio but in windows 10 pro I can see it at all, not even in disk management, I tried all pcie slots, please help
is possible to use many 1tb pen drives instead to hdd to store the plots? is the only available alternative to store plots that dont need 40usd per TB, next would be mypassport 5TB external hard disk, but out of stock everywhere
Hi is it recommended to use one HDD with large storage size like 12 TB or can we use multiple 6 pieces 2TB HDD? will that work as having one large 12 TB hdd?
Just bought the "Prebuilt 7910 with DUAL 2680 v3 32GB RAM SSD & 6TB HDD $1495". Do you have any configuration settings regarding plotting and mining to pass on for this machine? Thanks in advance for your help!

All the cables and adaptors and of course an OS and mining software
Using SSd's on LSI 9200-16e is a bad idea, since it does not support SSD Trim, and the controller SAS2008 is too slow for SSD IOPS and datarate. You will also be limited to half speed, throughput on the PCI-e 2.0 x8 bus. (bus is approx. 4gigabyte/s bandwidth, and 16x6gbit sata is 12GB/s for the data links, and about 16*600MB/s = 9.6GB/s Data rate to the ssds

I’m also running to separate plots on the separate drives. It is definitely using a lot of my processing power. What can I be possibly doing wrong? Also if my wallet is not in sync is that a problem? It’s on sync on one of my computer so I have 15 computers all plotting but the best I’m getting out of most of them are an average of two plots per day.
How hot does this make the cpu run? Just bought 3 of the dual cpu setups. But I'm trying to figure if the stock set up is enough to keep them cool. You didn't mention anything related to keeping them cool but I would think using all the cores on the processor would run hot. Do we need to run bigger coolers or even water coolers on these?
Hello, great video but could you do a video showing the steps to build that rig please ?
If you combine your SSDs on a raid0, the endurance of each doesn't just add up since the failure of one of them means the failure of all your raid storage.
Hey man, how about RAM speed? Have you found any significant difference of using faster ram? I am currently plotting on 2TB Samsung NVME with a i9 11900k and 32Gb RAM. I currently assign 3,900 RAM and one core, so doing 8 Plots at a time. Do you think if I add some extra RAM to be able to assign 5,000 per each plot will make a ton of difference? Also, at this point, staggered at 60min seems to work fine, however I did not really time measured and I don't know if I am doing the best in terms of productivity.
Thank you for the video this is amazing keep making these videos my friend
u use 2 2tb nvme at the same time? do you start with 2 plots each nvme and stagger them after 60 min? with how many threads you plot then and how many simultan at max?
I would love to see an answer to this questions. also, is there a downside of using 2x2tb vs 1x4tb of ssd? and the same for the ram, using 2x16gb vs 4x8gb ?
Its nice that you like my commentar Sloth, but it would really nice to get an answer to my questions. I have a Setup with Ryzen 9 5900x, 128GB RAM, 4 2TB Temp M/U2 SSDs and get only 32 Plots/day with a Plot Manager. So im wondering how you will get 40/day. Maybe i can improve my Setup If you give us the numbers. Thanks.
Great video! I have some questions
1 - In terms of *storing* the plots (the permanent drive farming process), would it be fine to use HDDs since they're cheaper and can hold more? I'm unsure where we'll store this since the 2TB Samsung SSD's are for the temp drive process. I didn't quite understand.
2- Will an e7 8890 18 LGA 2011-1 be able to sustain all of this?
I just want to be able to get the processor and SSD/Hard Drives quickly before everything gets sold out! And then I can take my time getting the less demand products. Thanks!
Can you please make a plot manager video?
Great Video... good job my friend! Greedings from Greece...
I just got into chia bought a single 3 tb and uh....I get about a plot a day. I do have ssds, but given my relatively low income, a cheap 3 tb HDD was my foot in the door. I currently have about 1.2 tb filled up.... I plan on buying like a used i5 laptap, attaching either a NAS or a Docking station, and just farm in the closet.
Hey im struggling with my build as im based in NZ - loving your videos though and looking forward to more of your content!
Nice video! I always get confused by this, but how can you hit 40 plots a day when you are starting a plot every hour? Cause at 19-20 plots on a 1hr stagger you'll only have your all those plots start in 19-20hrs meaning you'll only be starting a plot every hour in a 24 hour day. Are you starting multiple plots at the same time every hour?
That is a REALLY good question and I actually appreciate you asking it. You are absolutely right with the math you did above. but lets say I have 2 sets of drives in a raid 0 -- so 2 plots will start at the same time one for each raid 0 with a 60min stagger that means in 24 hours it *could* be capable of 48 plots, but realistically the machine can't do the ~24 that could be running all at once if they each took 12 hours, so I would have global limits of say "no more than 20 plots at once" to keep it from bombarding the CPU with interrupts. It can get a bit more complicated than this with phase and minor phase tuning but I hope thats a decent explanation.
Its a balance of setting how many can be in Phase 1 at the same time
A global limit of concurrent plots
Total stagger time
@@SlothTechTV So what is your temp space layout for hitting 40 plots? Are you saying you have two raid-0s with each raid having 2x2TB? So a total of 4 TB of temp space? I'm just trying to get an idea of how much temp space we would need for this sort of build. I just imagine that becoming a bottleneck real fast if its any less that 4 TB.
@@dynizzle3166 At peak while doing 20 plots at a time (with proper stager and delay between phase 1 and phase 2) youre looking at somewhere between 149-180GB per plot .. with the right stagger you can get this closer to 150GB per plot, but these numbers are hard to summarize as there are a lot of factors and it really comes down to how well you balance the concurrent plots. (great question btw)
@@SlothTechTV Brilliant, makes perfect sense! Love the informative content chia or otherwise
@@SlothTechTV are you saying to get 40 plots a day, you are using a total of 4x 2TB NVME drives, two sets of 2x in RAID 0?
Just purchased a T7810! Is it technically possible to add two E5-2699 v3's?! Just out of curiousity more than anything, I wouldn't know what to do with more than 40 plots/day for storage. Also, what is that AOI cooler that's in the beginning of the video?
Great video, just ordered one of these in kit form (18 core 64GB), I hope this makes some money :-)
great video best I have seen keep up the good work!
Hi, great video very useful👍 I have had a look for the Dell precision you recommended, but it looks sold out.
What are your thoughts on alternatives?
Buying servers as they will have a lot of cores for plotting is a good idea. I’m still not sure about temp option: consumers sss or sas sss or multiple smalls fast sas hdd. Can you give me some advise about pros/cons of each option?
Thank you.
Do you recommend the xeon e5 2683v4 with the motherboard you have described using? It has 16 cores and 32 threads
Can you show how to install swar plot manager for a noob like me
I am trying to understand how much does processor speed matter here? I understand cores / threads but what is stopping anyone from buying an older gen Xeon like T36xx Dells and using 10-12 core processors from that gen?
Those work great and I have several.
I've been averaging 14 plots a day with this set up. Still takes about 10 hours per plot. With that size SSD, you can only do 7 at a time. Also, must get an extra fan as heat will crash your PC.
Do you use a plot manager? Do you stagger them out appropriately? There are many variables
Great video m8! what’s ur threadripper setup?
With the 40 plots per day setup how long will an 18tb hdd last until it's full? My T5810 will be here this week. How many internal hdd's are in your t5810 setup?
I’m actually wondering the same question thanks
about 4.5 days
Grate video
How about a z640 with 2 X E5-2690v4 and 128 GB DDR4 as the plotting and farming machine?
Could you make a video on how to set parallel plotting using this rig? Thanks, great content!
Absolutely! That is a great idea. ty for suggesting it.
@@SlothTechTV I was lucky enough to get everything on your Amazon list to build this same exact rig. I should get everything by May 21st. Really excited about this project. Thanks for taking time to reply.
@@SlothTechTV +1! Definitely would be awesome if you could do a video on how to setup parallel plotting using this server...thanks
Hey new to the channel, new to mining, and building computers in general. My question to you is, the prebuilt 7910's you have the links to don't need any extra parts to mine safely? Are they just plug and play, or do I need to upgrade parts to mine that rough figure you mentioned $6800/month (it's probably more now since chia is soo much higher)? thanks for the info, keep it up cause your making it happen for all of us we owe you. Thanx again.
how profitable would this setup be? whats the expected win time?
Hi, I bout the pc, name and the adapter, I can see the fire Ida in bio but in windows 10 pro I can see it at all, not even in disk management, I tried all pcie slots, please help
is possible to use many 1tb pen drives instead to hdd to store the plots? is the only available alternative to store plots that dont need 40usd per TB, next would be mypassport 5TB external hard disk, but out of stock everywhere
Hi is it recommended to use one HDD with large storage size like 12 TB or can we use multiple 6 pieces 2TB HDD? will that work as having one large 12 TB hdd?
With the (2) 2tb SSD plotting drives, do you recommend setting them up in raid 0 for a performance boost or leave the SSD plotting drives separate?
I was watching this before launch. But diceded not to jump in. How is this going 1 year after?? Chart looks very sad do.
Just bought the "Prebuilt 7910 with DUAL 2680 v3 32GB RAM SSD & 6TB HDD $1495". Do you have any configuration settings regarding plotting and mining to pass on for this machine? Thanks in advance for your help!
You are the best on explaining. Im a noob and I can actually understand what your talking about 😂😅
Thank you for the compliments! :)
I wanted to make sure I understand everything I need.
1.) computer case, including power supply
2.) motherboard
3.) internal hdd for OS (why does it need to be 16TB?)
4.) soopa fast CPU / replacement CPU
5.) 32+ GB RAM
6.) at least 2TB plotting drive
7.) All the cables and adaptors
and of course an OS and mining software
