Hi jonnieb-uk, yes I saw that - I log in regularly to check out your stats and have a read through some of the recent threads while I'm on.

It would be great to have a GPU project again - I've still got my pair of 7870s, but have a pair of R9 280Xs too (basically rebadged 7970s), so would love to put them to use on the WCG.

Nice to see the team hitting 1500 years of runtime - won't be long before we hit 2000, especially with mamajuanauk on the case.

Thanks mamajuanauk - I've checked my 'Results Status' page, and the five longest valid WUs are showing 11.97/12.09, 7.97/8.08, 6.85/6.91, 6.65/6.70 and 6.62/6.67 - so an average of 99.036% efficiency. The WU you're showing has been running for 11:47, and has probably spent 46 minutes of that waiting for I/O.

I known that mechanical drives vs SSDs can be a contentious issue with regards to CEP2, with writes degrading SSDs, but in my opinion it's overstated and mechanical drives fail too.

Honestly, I don't know how your drives don't catch fire.

Samsung have their new 850 pro SSDs with 3D NAND which is supposed to be very resilient (10yr warranty, and the 256GB version is ~£135 (see how I don't mind spending other people's money :-))). Pop one of those into your 64 core machine and let us know how you get on - remember, it's not just the bandwidth, it's the latency.

Morning All...
