Seagate & Western Digital Increase HDD Production to Meet Chia Demand

Surely, you meant 'spinning rust'? :laugh:
That's even faster spinning rust. The only problem is that it's 72GB only and is beaten by any modern 7200 rpm standard spinning rust in sequential tasks, but not in access times. I also have a bunch of laptop stuff, 5400 rpm drives with capacity under 320 GB. If I wanted to make those drives do anything useful to me, chia mining wouldn't be a bad idea. I personally have no idea for what I could possibly use 160 GB 5400rpm spinning rust.
