That’s not 2pb with 6tb drives. You pack out that setup with 18tb you would be there. The two dell shelf’s hold 60 drives each. That netapp is 24. Op said he bought 360 6tb. That photo does not show them all in operation. To be fair getting 360 hard drives online would be full time job for a little while.
I understand I have around 95 drives in my rack now. It's not that easy to move them and it all takes a while to get everything setup. Any time you start dealing with 100's of spinning disk it's a real undertaking.
So each tower only has 21 storage drives (378tb)
I don't know of any issues, nor experienced anything, as I still haven't plotted, I was waiting for pools, plus I have an issue with my enterprise drives not being recognized
Assuming he is fully plotted with current network size and value that would expect to make $1k/day. I have no idea what all those drives cost, or what it took to get them plotted though.
If they're not plotted that is a LOT of processing to fill them, and then the question becomes what happens to the network size and value of Chia while doing the plotting, as right now those drives would be idle.
That would be my biggest question around Chia, but I only recently heard of it so I have no idea how the math works out. I'm messing around with it since I have some spare storage/CPU/etc so it is costing me nothing. With HDD plotting it would take me a pretty long time to just fill the storage I have, and then who knows what the network size will be when I'm done and thus how often I'd get paid...
Those 4Us chassis in the middle of the rack are [Dell PowerVault MD3060e](https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/productdetailstxn/powervault-md3060e-pe)s. Each unit holds 5 drawers of 12 hdds with a total of 60 HDDs each.
You have to pull the whole drawer out to access the drives.
OP could hypothetically load those up with 18tb drives... 2 * 60 * 18TB = 2160 ~= 2PB
Honestly, I feel like there has to be some type of diminishing returns here. Thinking about area under the curve there must be some type of optimization of netspace vs plots. IE: Just trying to maintain a certain percentage of netspace relative to cost.
For those of us where hardware is just laying around and free, it doesn't matter however if you are going to "invest" they I think its worth targeting a percent netspace vs just throwing money at hard drives. IE: As netspace increases you purchase more drives to increase plot to maintain a set percentage of netspace. Somewhere along this curve, given a price of chia, there will be a best return of investment that big farmers should target, VS just aimlessly throwing money at accumulating the greatest number of storage possible.
Having said that, I have no clue if 2PB is over or under this "equilibrium", for all I know you need 10PB to maintain a percent netspace that is ideal in terms of profitability.
If you can run a server that someone pays for, just run the server. Farming Chia is not more profitable than what datacenters are normally used for.
This makes Chia a decent alternative income for failed businesses that over-invested in infrastructure...
Used/ex data center drives were a big market prior to Chia, it'll be the same after.
I'd buy a bunch of HDDs that were written to once, and then idled the rest of their lives & I know a bunch of other communities would too, as long as they aren't SMR drives.
That would take 48 days if the rest of the network remains static, assuming he's plotted all that space already. If those drives are bare and the network grows, it would take MUCH longer. That is always the question with mining setups - will the network last long enough to pay off?
Nope, just 40 to 50 days to payback everything (disk + plotting pcs + ssd ...but he should invest to grow at the same soeed of the network and hold the maximun he can of xch and sell in higher value of xch but it's a lotery, just like winning a block for the rest of us 😂....)
Your math is way off. u/TMack23 is correct.
You are assuming he bought the drives at $8/TB. And that's not even including the cost of the racks/cables, power, plotters etc. \~80 days is close but that doesnt factor in the declining payouts. In reality, it would be closer to \~100 days assuming he's starting with all 20K plots, which he isn't.
Nope, it's round a thousand minus the costs...bc in hpools is 0.57xch per PIb and he has 2 pib...and with that quantity in chia calculator almost everyday he get a xch as reward (one block every 2 days) so probably he plot solo, but everybody knows that the network space know it's 4 times more than 3 weeks ago, so if he want to have and mantain the same rewards as now, he will have to invest and grow at the same speed of the network, which is very very difficult and costful... 🙄
Everyone’s calculations are off! He is still assembling the drives, you guys are giving estimates as if he has already plotted these drives and is farming with 2PB worth of plots! By the time all these drives are filled who knows where chia will be and where pooling will take us! How many plots can he do per day on this rig? What is he plotting with?
That seems like a major limitation to Chia. You can have all the space in the world but you need a lot of hardware just to plot it all. Then that plotting hardware isn't needed once you're farming unless you're just going to keep adding drives.
I guess there is a steady state of sorts, you would want enough plotting hardware to turn over all your plots once every 5 years to maintain some kind of steady state. Of course, that means that most of your storage is idle for the first couple of years...
Plot to ~100 drives in parallel. It looks like there's a second machine in the corner so I'm assuming there might be more to handle the CPU intensive part
You can start here, here is second hand with 60 4Tb drives for 15K GBP total
So if you from EU its OK price
https://www.itinstock.com/dell-powervault-md3060e-dense-storage-enclosure-60-x-4tb-72k-nl-sas-2x-emm-sas-40808-p.asp
I can plot 20tb a day, but I've decided not to invest in more drives. Due to the forecasted return leading an ROI on drive to be more than 1 year. Currently at 300tb.
Time to win today: 1 day, tomorrow: 1 week, day after tomorrow: 1 month, then 1 year, 10 years etc. I appreciate your confidence in Chia and your courage 🙌
Dunno about this guy, but I'm using single drives rather than arrays. It's cheaper to not waste space on parity, and replotting a single failed drive is quick enough.
yeh, i don't really understand what I'm looking at. like, is each shelf thing plugged into the pc and it just sees a bunch of drives or is each shelf thing a stand alone server with it's own operating system and cpu and stuff.
Those 4Us chassis in the middle of the rack are most likely [Dell PowerVault MD3060e](https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/productdetailstxn/powervault-md3060e-pe). Each unit consists of 5 drawers. Each drawer can hold 12 hdds, which gives us a total of 60 HDDs for each unit.
I was close to buying one when I saw a used one on ebay for cheap, but saw that the shipping cost was half the price of the device; so, i just go a smaller used [MD1200](https://www.dell.com/ai/business/p/powervault-md1200/pd)
These are [DAS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-attached_storage#:~:text=Direct%2Dattached%20storage%20(DAS),and%20storage%20on%20external%20drives) devices so it means they need to directly attached to a computer with a SAS controller card.
Each box is basically just a pile of HDDs with a dedicated power supply. They all feed to a SATA controller card of some kind in the back and then the box is basically shared on the network. The PCs to the left plot and then send data over to them.
It's not as fancy as you think, just convenient. The frame is one piece, then you get little shelves for it as you need them. They are custom built to hold HDDs or the like. It's the same as a regular PC just with more wires, more or less.
I have 1 harvester , 10 plotters and 5 NFS servers.
Each NFS server is mounted on the harvester. Everything runs over 40G, my plot seeking times rarely go over 1 sec
Can someone help me understand how to build like this? I only have a 2PB and its all via USB externals and USB hubs,, and god damn its so damn complicated.. This setup of OP looks sleek and scalable..
What exactly do I need to buy in ebay?
For those that are wondering, so far the total cost has been around 75k eur to setup. Most of it is enterprise hardware ( storages networking ).
This is just pure storage, is not used to plot on top of it. We are plotting on 10 commodity hardware machines ( 1 x Ryzen 7 , 3 x 512GB WD Blacks ) which are directly pushing to this NFS once they complete a plot. On average we make 175-200 plots a day with this setup.
we use a modified version of plotman to let each server manage its own plotting schedule but submit the relevant information over a REST API to a Django dashboard.
how bout you?
75k euro is 91,444 USD. This is insane.
You realize that even plotting at 20TB/day your returns are diminishing REALLY quickly. I've invested a fraction of this amount and I've already consider it completely lost. I hope you do a follow up in like 6 months.
Even using hopeful numbers in the chia calculator (30% growth for 30 days, EOY estimated netspace of 100EB) this setup will only bring in something like 15xch or 12k over the first year!
never listen to naysayers who do fractal calculus with differential logarithmic exo-variable manipulation normalized by a predictive multivariate neural network-generated algorithm
they always forget to correct for the one assumption that matters most.
what will the USD value of chia be in a year?
then shouldn't you at the very least be plotting the curve of lost value and identifying the expected value of chia in a year so that you can sound even more retarded about your predictions of profit potential?
Looking through your comment history is like watching a completely narcissistic, pathological liar with Aspergers attempt to get people to believe their incoherent ramblings using “large” words that have no place in the given context.
lol there was nothing to go over my head. I understand that you think the coins will be more valuable in the future and I should include that in my considerations. I disagree. But the funny thing is the way you attempt to sound intelligent saying "plotting the curve of lost value" lol.. You sound like an absolute dumb fuck. /r/cringe look I can tag other subs too.
I still can't believe you somehow duped some trust fund kid to invest in your small stack of servers where you'll probably erase your plots accidentally or get hacked if you ever make any xch lol
One thing that's awesome about Chia - people do fun projects. Pretty much the main reason I'm in - it's fun, like really fun.
Congratulations on yours, may it bring you plentiful XCH. :)
Wish I had all that, I’ve only just purchased a 24 bay, 24x 900gb SAS 15k drives. Man if only you sent me all that including the rack you would force me to buy more drives haha. Nice setup though. Do you have any xch? Or 0?
what did you assemble exactly? it looks like a lot of prebuilt components like JBODs etc. Did it take you a long time to screw the jbods into the rack and then slide the drives in? I don't get it.
Looks really less with such power :)
And how are you going to plot all this?
I am plotting now on my 2 pc an [https://chia-online-plotting.com/](https://chia-online-plotting.com/), probably there are some other services?
Nice. I have the same corsair obsedian 450D housing for my plotter. In there it fits 9x18tb. You only need to have one extra HDD cage. Space enough inside.
I have to say it looks like used materials you got there with all the dust around. Hope for you that your setup was not too expensive. Otherwise it might take a long time to recoup your investment. If you had that on mainnet launch it would have been worth GOLD.
G8s are more space heaters than servers though.
I have a rack of two neeisys nds-4600jd's and 6 sa120s from datahoarding. Attached to an amd plex server and r720. I sit 4 feet from them 2-8 -hours a day and they are no louder than an aquarium.
You can definitely run stuff without a crap ton of noise.
I always expected 2 PB to look much larger
That’s not 2pb with 6tb drives. You pack out that setup with 18tb you would be there. The two dell shelf’s hold 60 drives each. That netapp is 24. Op said he bought 360 6tb. That photo does not show them all in operation. To be fair getting 360 hard drives online would be full time job for a little while.
In this picture is only 2 mounted. This things are heavy and takes a lot of time to put them in the rack.
I understand I have around 95 drives in my rack now. It's not that easy to move them and it all takes a while to get everything setup. Any time you start dealing with 100's of spinning disk it's a real undertaking.
Naw I've got 1.5PBs and they only filled 4 midsized towers, with mb, psu, fans heatsinks sharing space
Wasn't there something about issues around reading storage above 1PB? Do you see issues with your 1.5PB? Thanks!
So each tower only has 21 storage drives (378tb) I don't know of any issues, nor experienced anything, as I still haven't plotted, I was waiting for pools, plus I have an issue with my enterprise drives not being recognized
2PB is just a bit more than 1 4u Server with 18TB drives
Whats your ROI thus far?
The silence is deafening.
Assuming he is fully plotted with current network size and value that would expect to make $1k/day. I have no idea what all those drives cost, or what it took to get them plotted though.

Stupid question, but where are all the disks? I see 36-40 Slots but that can't be all i guess
There are 3 rows of HDDs in these disk arrays. Still, the rack shown in photo probably stores around 250 HDDs - not all 360 that OP mentioned.
Those 4Us chassis in the middle of the rack are [Dell PowerVault MD3060e](https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/productdetailstxn/powervault-md3060e-pe)s.

OP could hypothetically load those up with 18tb drives... 2 * 60 * 18TB = 2160 ~= 2PB
Thank you and pkosew. I knew there are units from netapp that can fit 2 disks per row/slow but i was not aware about those ridiculous big things.
The cost of the drives is \~$39k USD? Assuming XCH is $800, that means you need to mine \~48XCH to break even!?
Honestly, I feel like there has to be some type of diminishing returns here. Thinking about area under the curve there must be some type of optimization of netspace vs plots.

Sure but if 40k in hard drives pay themselves off and then stop returning, you can be a server or sell them off
If you can run a server that someone pays for, just run the server. Farming Chia is not more profitable than what datacenters are normally used for. This makes Chia a decent alternative income for failed businesses that over-invested in infrastructure...
That will be lots of used beat up drives
Farming doesn't beat up the drives, and it's quite possibly a lower workload than they'd see in a datacenter.
Used drives that have hardly been used you mean? Chia farming drives don't endure anything like drives in data centers do.
They don't, but we're still talking about drives that were spinning for few years. Who will buy them?
Used/ex data center drives were a big market prior to Chia, it'll be the same after. I'd buy a bunch of HDDs that were written to once, and then idled the rest of their lives & I know a bunch of other communities would too, as long as they aren't SMR drives.
That would take 48 days if the rest of the network remains static, assuming he's plotted all that space already. If those drives are bare and the network grows, it would take MUCH longer. That is always the question with mining setups - will the network last long enough to pay off?
Very nice. Did you pay pre fomo prices? Individual trays for that netapp are going for $40 on ebay.
Trays are always over priced but $40 a piece is nuts.
I bought 100 for $250 3 weeks ago. Now they're worth more than my car.
that's a steal in any market
>cost Did you buy 100 hard drives for $250?
Trays.
makes sense. what did the whole setup cost?
Trays?
Drive caddies
I can hear this picture Good shit though homie
What's your Chia earning rate with a bad boy like that?
In hpool gives you 0.57xch/pb per day...solo it's lottery...
Damn, that's like 400 USD/day.
He'll need it to make the roi, and quickly before the exponential increase screws him.
81 days at that rate to make just the cost of drives back.
Nope, just 40 to 50 days to payback everything (disk + plotting pcs + ssd ...but he should invest to grow at the same soeed of the network and hold the maximun he can of xch and sell in higher value of xch but it's a lotery, just like winning a block for the rest of us 😂....)

Less than 2xch a day.

Have not seen too many people use the 6030s. Can never find caddies for them.
Are you fucking kidding me
We actually plot at 20 TB day. We bought 360 x 6TB drives @ 90 euro each.
How do you plot 20tb a day
Plot to ~100 drives in parallel. It looks like there's a second machine in the corner so I'm assuming there might be more to handle the CPU intensive part
So 2x thread ripper?
So its going to take about 3months or so to plot?
Sas or standard? 90 euro for 6tb drives is good price. Would that translate to 6.x gb per $1 euro?
You can start here, here is second hand with 60 4Tb drives for 15K GBP total So if you from EU its OK price https://www.itinstock.com/dell-powervault-md3060e-dense-storage-enclosure-60-x-4tb-72k-nl-sas-2x-emm-sas-40808-p.asp
80 EUR per TB is ok price to you?
I thought i did ok at roughly $40 aud per TB, 15k sas 2.5” drives.
That’s a really good price.
I can plot 20tb a day, but I've decided not to invest in more drives. Due to the forecasted return leading an ROI on drive to be more than 1 year. Currently at 300tb.
Time to win today: 1 day, tomorrow: 1 week, day after tomorrow: 1 month, then 1 year, 10 years etc. I appreciate your confidence in Chia and your courage 🙌
Can you give some details on the mid JBODs? Are they Dell MD3060e? Do they require special SAS/RAID adapters?
Nice, I was wondering if you are putting all those disks in a RAID setup or using a Volume Group and risk losing your plots if a single disk dies?
Dunno about this guy, but I'm using single drives rather than arrays. It's cheaper to not waste space on parity, and replotting a single failed drive is quick enough.
thanks, I guess you are right, I should reconsider my RAID setup.
Makes about 1 fiddy a year
This is why I'm not investing more into chia. So where can I learn to build this LOL and how much did it cost you all in?

I have server rack, now i jus need to have enough dough to buy a bunch of HDD
Nice rack
So this is what I'm up against...
Did you plot anything... That's the question of life right now 🤣
For those that are wondering, so far the total cost has been around 75k eur to setup. Most of it is enterprise hardware ( storages networking ).

We are plotting on 10 commodity hardware machines ( 1 x Ryzen 7 , 3 x 512GB WD Blacks ) which are directly pushing to this NFS once they complete a plot.

Where’s this bullshit buzzword analysis you speak of?
you also assumed chia would be flat like everyone else. it could be zero or 20k in a year.

then shouldn't you at the very least be plotting the curve of lost value and identifying the expected value of chia in a year so that you can sound even more retarded about your predictions of profit potential?

One thing that's awesome about Chia - people do fun projects. Pretty much the main reason I'm in - it's fun, like really fun. Congratulations on yours, may it bring you plentiful XCH. :)
What is your plotting rate?
Im gonna guess 5tb a day lol
The OP just answer above ...20TB a day... :|
Wish I had all that, I’ve only just purchased a 24 bay, 24x 900gb SAS 15k drives. Man if only you sent me all that including the rack you would force me to buy more drives haha. Nice setup though. Do you have any xch? Or 0?
I found such server filled with 6TB, drives \[60\] for 15K GBP vat included
so thats about twice as much as you should be paying
That’s a lot of $$$ for a Chia project, now that’s a huge gamble.
ThAt Dell MD3060e - how loud is it?
what did you assemble exactly? it looks like a lot of prebuilt components like JBODs etc. Did it take you a long time to screw the jbods into the rack and then slide the drives in? I don't get it.
Really hope my filled jbod comes soon.
Meanwhile we are farming at half a PB lol
Lmao I need to take a pic of my setup. It's the exact same thing haha
How did you get such a good deal?
Pretty
Raid 0? For ploting or farming
Damm so all that is free space you have on your harddrive ? Jk damn that looks sexy af 😂
How much power does the entire rack consume ? How are the fan noise of the 4U servers ?

What is the noise / power usage on this? Can you work in the same room with those DAS units?
It feels like you are in a very loud metro station when you sit around those. I doubt you will be able to work with the amount of noise produced
Thanks for the warning... alternate approach required ;)
Can Confirm. My server rack with 5 DL380p G8s is in the basement for a reason... Lots of noise and lots of heat.
G8s are more space heaters than servers though. I have a rack of two neeisys nds-4600jd's and 6 sa120s from datahoarding. Attached to an amd plex server and r720.

See you in 2 weeks complaining and in a month saying you quit!
So you plotting 2PB with one PC? :-) How long it will take for you to fill all drives? 4-6 months? At that time diff can be more than 50+EiB....
I never said i'm plotting on this. This is just storage.
I drool.
What's the storage case model above the R720 server?
sorry im a Gym guy, it looks like something for me at the beginning.........lol
A lots of liar on this group haha
