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.
Hows the servers working for yall?
Just realized your a fellow container farmer like myself, but i have mine setup on an all watercooled setup to control temps... how have you managed to control temps in yours?
mine is located in Florida, i bought some property that had 2 old mobile home pads with separate power panels that old abandoned burned down mobile homes lived once a long time ago...... Picked up the property for little to nothing and settled with the county to offset all the fees tacked on the property from all the junk and 2 abandoned mobiles if i cleaned it all up and got rid of the junk... so i spent a few months burning junk from the 80's lol....
I'm new to using USBs to run OSs for mining. Is it possible to use or does anyone have experience running Windows as an OS on these USBs? or do i need a custom mining OS like Hive or EthOs? I'm familiar with linux/ubuntu as well but windows is just way user friendly for configuring and remote troubleshooting.
