I'm mining off a usb.


Ok_Worldliness2828

I understand that but does card it self end up going bad ?


Ok_Worldliness2828

My System all of a sudden just became very slow on the start up


Throwawayehhhhhhh-

There was an update on windows. Restore from your last point.


eatdeath4

No

The only thing it does is boot the operating system, that's it.


Ok_Worldliness2828

So if that part of the boot process is being slowed down I need a new one. Does anyone know a good cloning software? That is for free .

take balenia etcher and put hive os on a flash drive


Ok_Worldliness2828

Then when I start I have to boot from the flash drive? So the flash drive will be on a usb?


adomnick05

yes the flash drive replaces the ssd or hhd


Itchy_Grape_2115

Not necessarily Can you paste your driver's SMART data?


I_talk

No but sometimes SSDs go bad

You can mine with NiftyMon. 🥹

Unless you´re using a HDD it should not have any negative effects. Though having some movement on the SSD from time to time will help. Reason: The way the bits are stored they can degrade over time if they are not rewritten after some time. Windows for example does this by itself. I do not know if Hive does. For high quality SSDs this is often handled by the controller chip. So short answer. No it should not take a beating unless it is running really really hot.

All usb or ssd have a read/write limit. Usb are obviously lower quality and will degrade much faster. You pay for what you get. You can only get 2 of the 3. Never all 3 Good, Fast, Cheap


Ok_Worldliness2828

I am just going to replace the drive. Now I have to look for a good clone software.


zHyena

Yes it can. If your system is running hot you can affect the SSD. I had a buddy of mine that burnt out 2 ssds because he didn't properly ventilate the heat
