Please Help Me Optimize this Config :'( I5 10400f

Here's my PC:

Main: Asrock B460M Steel Legend
Ram: 24GB DDR4 2666 Mhz
SSD: Samsung 980 NVME 1TB x 2
HDD: I have like 10 HDDs 4TB but maybe i will make plots for 2 HDDs at once

looks like a good start...

Run Linux for 10 - 15 % better performance (you can run it off a usb key)

threads: I'd set it to 4 but it might not make much difference
max_concurrent_with_start_early: 7
stagger_minutes: 15 ( or however long it takes for your SSD to transfer the plot to your HDD)
max_for_phase_1: 3

thank you ... what does max_concurrent_with_start_early: 7 means ? can you explain it :D

[davevandyke]

My basic understanding is that start early will run additional plots when in progress plots hit stage 4. Stage 4 is less storage and cpu intensive than other stages. By starting early you can maximize cpu use.
