I’m sure all the crypto fans are lining up around the block to tell us that their pet technology doesn’t waste valuable resources, it just uses storage that would otherwise have gone unused, as they do with Bitcoin and electricity.
> Chia plotting is extremely I/O intensive and destroys most SSDs in under a few weeks Woah, really?

From what I understand, newer consumer level SSDs are designed to have a lower TBW (TeraBytes Written) - mostly because any reasonable consumer doesn't write terabytes of data to their SSDs in any decent length of time. Enterprise/Higher end "GaMeR" SSDs have higher TBW ratings - I believe 1TB FireCuda Model NVMe SSDs have something insane like a 1800 TBW rating when I was looking a couple weeks back. These above men…
> As you can see, (the scale is in Petabytes), the space used is growing uncontrollably, and has already reached 7 Exabytes. Judging by the graph in the article, it was 1 exabyte in late April, under a month ago. Wow.
It is really just speculation fever?

What is the expansion of the acronym “GaMeR”? I’ve not seen it before and I want to be sure I understand.

This is still only a couple hundred 100GB plots (the smallest possible size).
"Chia SSDs" being made are something like 12000TBW.
