Chia crypto mining: 10 exabytes of data, or 10 million terabytes – TweakTown
Chia cryptocurrency has now used up over 10 exabytes of storage, up from 6 exabytes just last week… it’ll chew your NVMe SSD up.
Chia cryptocurrency blew into the scene weeks ago, melting storage and eating up SSD supplies worldwide — but just how much storage has Chia eaten through in the last few months? 10 exabytes.
1 exabyte is 1 million terabytes. That means 10 million terabytes or 10,000,000 TB of storage has been eaten up by Chia cryptocurrency mining so far. These numbers have skyrocketed recently, as Chia had only chomped into around 6 exabytes of storage, but it has close to doubled that inside of a week.
