MicroBT Whatsminer M30s Review

In April 2020, MicroBT, one of the leading crypto mining hardware companies, released the MicroBT Whatsminer M30s, the first in its M30 series. It was clear MicroBT meant business this time, as shown in the improvements from the older M20s version and the wide acclaim that followed the release. MicroBT has quickly built a reputation for being one of the leading equipment providers in the space, with a commitment to transparency and reliability.

They're the necessary backbone of Bitcoin, and their products should be any farm's first choice. The MicroBT M30s is an ASIC mining hardware machine, which works with the SHA-256 algorithm. The Whatsminer M30s can mine top coins like Bitcoin(BTC), Bitcoin Cash(BCH), but it's also able to mine coins like TerraCoin(TRC) and Unbreakable(UNB), to mention a few. The M30S was one of the first miners to boast the beginnings of the 3x joules per Terahash generation.

Sitting at a maximum of 88 TH/s with a power consumption of 3268W, it's one of the most stable units out there, with less than 1% fluctuation in hash rate and less than 1.5% fluctuation in power consumption.

Appearance

Of appearance, the size is 150 x 255 x 390mm, and the weight is 10.5kg. The difference between the M30S and M20S is that the power supply is replaced with a flat style, which reduces the machine's height by 15mm, and at 0.9kg, the weight of the whole machine is lighter than the M20S-68T. The device uses one input, one output system with two dedicated fans for cooling. The air inlet fan comes with a protective metal cover.

Specifications

The WhatsMiner M30S uses a standard power supply model: P21-GB-12-3300 and uses a 16A power cord for the power supply. It uses two 14038 12V 7.2A fans, which reduces the power consumption and noise level. Also, it is an improvement from the M20S model, which uses 9A fans. The rear fan uses a 4-core 4P interface, and the front fan uses a 6-core flat interface. Internally, this machine comes with three built-in hash boards, and each has 148 Samsung 8nm ASIC chips, a total of 444.
