    Before you do that, make a clone of the full drive to another one if you can. That way, you can experiment on the clone, and if your install gets messed up even further, at least you don't lose your files immediately.

    Get TestDisk to try and convert it back to NTFS. I've used it a few times in the past successfully.

    It might be that the hackintosh tools actually install the NTFS3g driver automagically. With that you can write to NTFS, but I had a few problems with it in the past so I tend to stay away from that. 
     
    But don't forget that macOS is also a different story than Linux.

    LOL, what you're saying is that mining should only be available to the early-birds, and no-one can join in anymore. At least, that's what I understand from it. Sorry, but I don't think that's fair. I mean, why would it be our problem that you guys relied on an income subject to this kind of change? That would be like saying: "Yeah, I make an investment in buying and selling Microsoft-stocks and making a living off of that, but Microsoft is doing crap lately so it's Microsoft's fault that I earn too little money to live off"
     
    I would say no, the experience would be far from identical. I think benchmarking is boring AF. Sorry, but you guys can't decide for me what I think is fun and what's not. 
     
    I'm going to get this thread closed. My question is answered and it seems like we won't be able to agree, and I don't want this to escalate.

    I have a modified off-the-shelf NAS, with 4 2TB drives in raid 10 (via ZFS) and a separate el cheapo 64GB SSD with the OS on. On the face of it, with the components you have you could make something similar to mine. IMHO, you could either:
    Use 4 drives in RAID 10 and the 5th for the OS Use the 5 drives in raid 5, and optionally add an extra drive for the OS. On my NAS, the drives only spin while being read/written, but I'm unsure whether that's a feature of my NAS/OS/HDDs, or a standard feature. 
     
    If there are screws holding the cooler brackets down, you could remove them and use the screw holes to attach a new cooler. Can you post a pic of these brackets?

    I'd recommend a RAID 10 if possible. I combines striping (and speed) from a RAID 0 and the redundancy of a RAID 1. RAID 5 and 6 are also really good bc the array will be completely fine in a drive failure. A RAID 6 is a little better than a RAID 5, but either way 5 and 6 are both generally the most secure.
