The Chia surge wiped out the retail supply chain for hard drives. Thankfully that has passed and prices have come back. On the SSD side though, the part often used for plotting Chia, there's been increased interest in endurance specs. The creation of a Chia plot is extremely write intensive using the standard plotter, though creative types have even worked around this limitation. But for small plotters that just want to get going with the official tools, selecting a good SSD for Chia is important. Now we have dedicated drives coming to market for this purpose, the first to hit our lab is the PNY LX2030.
