TeamGroup To Embrace Chia with T-Create Expert mining SSD series

TeamGroup To Embrace Chia with T-Create Expert mining SSD series

TeamGroup has presented a more durable SSD that has to combine a very high write volume with a very long warranty period. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, Chia relies on free hard drive storage.

The T-Create Expert SSD series provides a high storage capacity and a warranty of no less than 12 years. The drives are said to have a guaranteed write volume of up to 12,000 terabytes (Total Bytes Written), where normal-use SSDs, such as Samsung's 980 Pro, come in at just over 1,200 TB.

May 4, 2021, Taipei In recent years, the cryptocurrency market has been gaining a great deal of attention, leading to a continuous surge in global mining. Chia, started trading in May, is one of the new types of cryptocurrencies. Its mining method is different from previous cryptocurrencies that use GPUs and ASICs to complete calculations and earn profits. The everlastingly durability EXPERT PCIe SSD, developed by TEAMGROUP’s creator sub-brand T-CREATE, is the best choice for the environmentally-friendly “storage capacity mining” that Chia promotes.

 

 

The Chia Network utilizes a consensus algorithm called “Proof of Space and Time.” A Chia farmer’s possible yield is directly proportional to their amount of storage space. If you want to earn higher profits today, you need to have more hard drive space. This approach ensures that no one will design special-purpose hardware (ASIC) for mining it. Storage capacity and power consumption are also relatively unrelated. Therefore, Chia Network is a new “green” currency system. If you want to join the mining community utilizing this environmentally-friendly model, T-CREATE EXPERT PCIe SSD can help you get the greatest results. It features spectacular TBW values of up 12,000 TB, making it the perfect tool for supporting the intense write-cycle algorithms required for the mining process.

Compared with TEAMGROUP’s MP33 PCIe SSD or QX SSD, the T- CREATE EXPERT PCIe SSD has 3 to 10 times higher endurance, the T- CREATE EXPERT PCIe SSD has 3 to 10 times higher endurance, eliminating the hassle of constantly replacing SSDs and providing more valuable time to mine cryptocurrency! Starting today, TEAMGROUP is opening pre-orders of the T-CREATE EXPERT PCIe SSD for the mining market. If you want to get in on the mining action, reserve your unbelievably enduring consumer-grade PCIe SSD today.

The manufacturer's website does not yet mention the price of the SSD.

It was sheer luck that I happened to buy a 2TB SSD for my server last month. I was considering waiting, thinking "hmm, maybe prices will drop". Wow was I wrong.

CHIA will be a memory before this drive gets a 3rd of the way through its read/write limit. TC is going to have issues with the 12 years warranty; 11 years and 11 months from now someone is going to RMA it and there will be no replacement available. Besides 12 years from now we will be on pure optical tech and a PCIe NVMe drive will be an antique. Being a Gen3x4 drive is really going to limit its appeal to customers were speed is all that matters; If it was Gen4x4 I would consider getting 2 dozen 2tb drives to build a long term storage SAN.

Most won't need nor see the advantage of a high speed long term storage.
TBW is more the selling point than the 12 years warranty, 12 years is kind of crazy thinking controller though, also is a slap in the face to manufacturers like GALAX.
So if the price is right they won't have problems selling these drives, both to CHIA miners as average consumers.

Not sure if I would recommend such a drive over 4-8TB SATA SSD's for average usage though.
For pure speed there are better options available, with a warranty that should be enough for any none excessive use, the day those drives fail they will most probably already be in another machine since they got replaced by something even faster.
