Cryptocurrency mining requires strong hardware and different cryptocurrencies can be mined on different types of HW. Company Biostar decided to accommodate exactly two types of cryptocurrencies at once with a new motherboard TZ590-BTC Duo. For the extraction of the cryptocurrency Chia, which ideally requires a combination of SSD and HDD, it will offer 4 M.2 ports and 10 SATA 6gbps ports. Two M.2 ports are built on the PCIe 4.0 x4 bus (max. 64 Gb / s), the other two on PCIe 3.0 x4 (32 Gb / s).
