I’m currently working on a project that involves managing large-scale data on Storj, a decentralized cloud storage platform. My team recently migrated to Storj for its scalability and security features, and I’m in charge of optimizing the storage transactions for our data-intensive operations.
At the moment, I’m using a laptop with an i7 processor, but I’m considering upgrading to a laptop with i9 processor for better performance. Given the high-frequency storage transactions that we’re dealing with, I’m wondering if a laptop with an i9 processor will make a noticeable difference in handling these tasks efficiently on Storj’s network.
Has anyone here used a laptop with an i9 processor for decentralized cloud storage platforms like Storj? Can a laptop with an i9 processor effectively manage high-volume storage operations, and do you think it would be worth the upgrade?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!
I can’t imagine any x64 CPU sold now would struggle with the data rates Storj achieves - the limit is usually your Internet connection. What networking does your current laptop have: 10G (maybe over Thunderbolt)? Or native 2.5? Or 5G over USB?
And are you using the native Storj API, or S3 to their public S3 Gateway? (Or maybe you’re running your own local S3 Gateway?)
If you’re having performance problems it’s definately worth opening a ticket with Storj support. I know many S3 clients have tunables that allow them to size data to more closely align with how Storj stores it (which can speed transfers up). Sounds like a cool project!
If your connection is not maxed out yet, please take a look on:
P.S. I do not think that the CPU is a bottleneck, maybe memory or your connection, but sometimes it can be the case for a native Storj integration (your CPU would encrypt segments and erasure code them).
