The recently launched Chia Network has created a lot of attention in the cryptocurrency mining community. Unlike most cryptocurrencies farmed today, Chia Networking farming operation or mining requires high-capacity storage creating a spike in demand for high-capacity HDDs and even SSDs. In certain regions like Hong Kong wherein Chia farming went ballistic, HDDs prices quickly inflated by up to 200% which threatens the balance of HDD/SSD supply and demand in the region. Furthermore, the growing interest in Chia mining has led to the development of Chia mining-oriented hardware including new SSDs and motherboards. The Onda B365 D32-D4 Magic Edition Chia mining motherboard has been spotted online which features support for up to 32 SATA drives.
