Would i need a hard drive (ssd) to operate it?
asking for a friend...
a pc most likely. most of the ones like it need a pc. but to be fair I know some are stand alone. just the internet.
I never ran a bitaxe model but 15-20 watts pointed to ckpool seems like fun.
When I get it I will review it.
I have a bitaxe with 500GH/s and it does not require a PC. you can configure it with a mobile phone.
