i am a noob who is getting into DIY pc build and crypto mining .
Currently i have a PC with config
Ryzen 3600XT
-DDR4 64 GB RAM Gskills
-1TB Samsung NVME M2
500 GB Samsung NVME M2
10TB HDD
X570 motherboard .
Four more slots for additional HDD and Sata SSD
My requirements :
i want to scale my storage needs for storage based crypto mining .
In market for a hardware that is super silent for an apartment.
Will like to have the hardware with Linux debian on it .
of course it should be scalable to say 100TB as mining will require lot of plotting on HDD .
Budget conscious
Need some recommendations from experts in the community .
But the need for HDD is a problem for a truly silent build, since they’re the loudest components of a modern system with an adequate tower cooler.
OP basically just needs a NAS and to avoid small-form factor cases.
With HDD capacity exceeding 18TB at the high end and no need for RAID, so long as the motherboard supports 6 or more SATA ports, literally anything should work.
lol but on a serious note i saw someone online got some sort of solution to this with a casing of sorts . Not sure if its any good. title of that you video is " How to build a quiet 117TB Plex media server (Pt 1)".
Personally i don’t care about the noise just don’t wanna get thrown out of the apartment by my spouse.
True dat . I have enterprise Seagate so far the noise levels are very low . Only thing is i have like other people who are mining like few 100 tb in parallel so planning on doing it on larger scale.
