Hi Guys,
In the process of making my own rig for mining.
Will be running claymore to mine, not planning on downloading any local wallet software what makes u download tons of data.
Planning on mining Ethereum and Minero on separate rigs atm but may look at other currencies in the future.

For multi-gpu mining rigs you'll want ~ 8 gb of memory for each card. That's "virtual" memory usually, since actual ram is a lot more expensive. So, if you want to run 8 GPUs per rig, you'll need at least 64gb for just the swap file. Meaning 120+ gb SSD. It's not a hard rule though (mostly applies to amd 8gb cards), and for many systems/algos you can get away with less space, but considering how little difference in price there is between 60gb and 120gb drives, it kinda makes sense to just go with 120.

I'm not sure about the swap file which I dont think is that much with 64Gb. Because I've mined for a while with 8xRX580 8Gb, and all SSD are 64Gb only, I set virtual memory ranging from 3Gb to 20Gb. So far so good. Actually 120Gb SSD should be better.
