Mining common questions
We added these questions based on previous interactions we had with incoming members on different social platforms.
Is it better to mine SIGNA with SSD or HDD? There is no real advantage to scanning faster or across more drives, using SSDs or anything like that.
Does the number of CPU cores assigned to mining have any influence? Sometimes it does not. You can start mining with 2 or 4 cores. The purpose is that you can read all your hard drives in less than 1 minute. In case reading all your hard drives takes more than 1 minute. You must increase the number of cores to use. You can see the reading time in the log console
What is the log “HDD, wakeup!” ? This is a completely normal process, it is especially useful with hard drives. This makes your hard drive always spin. It will save some energy and prevent wear and tear on the HDD.
