SSDs used for Chia have a lifetime of 40 days instead of just 5 to 10 years, resulting in 256 GB of data continuous write / delete.
When exploiting Chia, large-capacity hard drives will last longer, but are still much shorter than their average lifespan when used for general purposes. In particular, a 1 TB SSD will “survive” after about 80 days, 2 TB 160 days – much less than 10 years when used to store data.
Exploitation reduces the life of the Chia SSD hard drive.
Hard drives are usually covered by a three to five year warranty. However, a split mining can invalidate this time due to a large amount of write / delete. According to Fast technologySome hard drive manufacturers and distributors begin to rewrite the warranty terms. Products, if used to mine digital currencies, will not have a longer warranty period as usual.
SSD drives are loved by Chia Digger due to their higher read / write speeds than HDDs. Hard drives are cheap right now, and miners can quickly throw them away if they fail. However, this action will increase the amount of electronic waste and cause environmental pollution. This contradicts the original intent of Chia’s launch – banning cryptocurrency mining by GPUs to protect the environment – the reason it is called cryptocurrency “Bitcoin Blue”.
Divide is cryptocurrency “fever“In China. With the facility to leverage free space on the hard drive to run command / read-write for new blocks in the chain. Blockchain, “Minors” use hard drives instead of GPUs like Chia Minors Bitcoin There Ethereum. The larger the capacity of a hard drive, the more efficient it is to exploit.
Dong Chia began the verification and mining process on 19 March. According to the data, the Chia mining network has mobilized 2,700 PiB hard drives (1 PiB = 1,125.9 TB). On May 4, Chia also went public with the ticker XCH, priced at $ 1,700. However, after a few seconds, the virtual currency saw a selloff, bringing its value to $ 700, then recovering approximately $ 900 – $ 1,100 per coin.
