Great video from with accurate information about Chia. "Very little read or write activity is required while farming"

The find that drives used for Chia cost more than half of new, indicating that Chia is probably stabilizing the price of used drives by making them available and buying them up when they're 'too' cheap

Hilariously they bust a few vendors for lying about drives being used for farming when they were actually used for something else. Unscrupulous sellers are claiming drives were only used for farming to imply they've had less wear than they actually have.

Good job ! You must have a Chia farmer on staff since you used the correct terminology for plots, corrected yourself on use of "farming" vs "mining", recognizing low IOPS of farming, and understanding the long term ROI and TCO with chiacalculator.com
