Pros and cons of NAS
-
What are the pros and cons of using a NAS setup for Burst mining?
-
@Propagandalf Pro - Basically unlimited storage. Con - network speed; over 1Gb Ethernet your Maximum Theoretical speed is around 30TB/Minute.

@haitch Thanks!
-
The NAS I am looking at has 2 ethernet ports so I should be good for 60/TB a minute right?
-
@superskid If you have two different PC's doing the mining.On a single PC, you'd have to do a really non-standard setup to get the 60TB/min
-
@haitch Good point, my NAS would be going 60/TB a minute to the router but my PC would still only have one cable and bottle neck it correct.
-
@superskid Correct - your PC can do 125 MB/sec - which equates to 30TB of plot/min.

@superskid Only if it supports Link Aggregation (NIC Bonding or Teaming) . You would also need a NIC that supports it on the other end too as you will have two network cables. There would be some overhead too. Its a nice idea, let us know whats speeds you get it if you get it working.
