Question on running off 16GB usb flash drives. Do these wear out pretty fast and die? When I tried running off a flash drive for HiveOS the flash drives died in about a week because of the constant log writing that was going on.


I'm using Sandisk USB 3.0 16MB sticks with no problems so far.  I did have a few issues early on with some cheap no name sticks.

The R815's, while power hogs are work horses.  They just plug away like nothing is wrong and require minimal baby sitting.

I'm having an issue getting more than 4 cards working on the 580s under Windows.  Two separate boxes lock up with 5 Nvidia cards connected.  I will try hive OS next.
