ADATA Technology, a manufacturer of high-performance DRAM modules, NAND Flash products, mobile accessories, gaming products, electric power trains, and industrial solutions, today unveiled the ADATA PROSPECTOR 970 and PROSPECTOR 950 PCIe solid state drives. Geared toward Chia coin farming (a.k.a. plotting), the SSDs sports high capacities of up to 2TB, excellent read and write performance, and robust durability.

Endurance for Chia Farming
Unlike other cryptocurrencies that are based on a “proof of work” system, Chia coins follow a “proof of space and time” system that is less energy-intensive and requires plentiful hard drive space for storage plotting. To meet the requirements of Chia farming, ADATA has developed the PROSPECTOR series. Designed for continuous operation, the SSDs are especially durable. The PROSPECTOR 970 has a Total Bytes Written (TBW) value of 56,000 while the PROSPECTOR 950 has a value of 28,000, which are at least 40 times higher than ordinary PCIe SSDs. TBW directly measures how much can be written cumulatively into a drive over its lifetime. What’s is more, the PROSPECTOR also sports a high Program-Erase (P/E) cycle rating. An SSD’s P/E cycle indicates its lifetime based on the number of P/E cycles it can endure.

PNY announced today the launch of the LX2030 and LX3030 line of ultra high endurance SSDs to the company's assortment of solid state drives. The new LX families of SSDs offer ever higher levels of endurance designed for "proof of space and time" applications like Chia (XCH) Plotting.

Designed for Plotting
The PNY LX2030 and LX3030 M.2 NVMe SSDs are the ideal solution for "proof of space and time" applications like plotting Chia Coin. Unlike "proof of work" models like bitcoin which consume large amounts of power by requiring the miners to do complex mathematical calculations, "proof of space and time" applications utilize the unused space on a users' systems, making it a more energy efficient and environmentally conscious model. To secure the blockchain, the data needs to be first created in a process called "plotting", which is only required once per plot file. This process is write intensive, so a desirable SSD for plotting has high sustained write bandwidth and endurance (TBW, or terabytes written). Typically this level of write performance and endurance was only seen on enterprise class SSDs.
