Tom's Hardware: Crucial Caves: Says Chia Cryptomining Voids SSD Warranty, Then Retracts Post. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/crucial-says-chia-cryptomining-voids-ssd-w... Jim Bell's comment: I wonder if DRAM-based SSD's would be practical for Chia mining. There shouldn't be a need for non-volatility. SD- cards get a lot of their density by constructing them in many layers, up to 144 I recently read. I haven't been keeping up with DRAM construction techniques, but I wonder if DRAMs can be multi-layered in a similar way. I also wonder what is the wearout mechanism for SD non-volatile memories.
