RE: 3 Coins One Tiny Mining Rig [Burstcoin+Ether+Decred]

I'd be careful of all them external seagate drives, I picked up a bunch of desktop expansion 3tb drives which were just 3tb barracuda drives and they all died at 2.5 years (just outside of warranty) Hard Disk Sentinel showed the drives reported a max temp into the high 80's and low 90's... Which I think had a huge hand in the failure of all the drives Might want to consider improving the ventilation of the externals and possibly adding of fans to the mix Just a thought Impressive setup though!

Sort:  

Yes ....some of them run a bit high then others but for the moment it is all going well.
I use only 2 external drives and 5 internal ones.
Inside the case I have 4 extra fans and the case is always cold...even now when it is outside 20 degrees.
