| - | The first phase generates all of your proofs of space by creating seven tables of cryptographic hashes and saving them to your temporary directory. Phase 2 back-propagates through the hashes, Phase 3 sorts and algorithmically compress these hashes in the temporary directory while starting to build the final file and Phase 4 completes the file and moves it into your final plot destination. | + | The Phase 1 generates all of your proofs of space by creating seven tables of cryptographic hashes and saving them to your temporary directory.

| One of the major bottlenecks is usually the total sustained write speed of the disk underneath your temporary directory. We recommend used datacenter SSD if you really want to go fast and not sacrifice consumer SSDs making plots. NVMe is faster than SAS and SAS is faster than SATA. This PC World overview of storage technologies can explain these acronyms and the differences. TBW (TeraBytes Written), is generally how SSD drive life is measured. One k32 writes 1.8TiB in non-bitfield mode and 1.6 TiB with bitfield enabled. More on bitfield in a moment. | One of the major bottlenecks is usually the total sustained write speed of the disk underneath your temporary directory.
