That value can only be figured out with trial and error of your own system. The key is the delay between the plotters. You can do it, I’ve seen it done, 9-10 plotters on a 2TB NVMe. The reason to round down here is because over allocating temp space is a bit difficult. Each plotter will use 256GB ( Edit: 250GB now) (aka 232GiB) as temp space. If you run out of RAM, its going to cause the plotters to error. The reason to round down here is that RAM cannot be over allocated like the CPU. This is the amount that each plotter will use at some point of their plotting process.

In order to make the math a bit simpler, I use 3400. Normally when using two threads, the optimal amount of RAM is 3389. CPU can be oversubscribed a little bit meaning that you can go over your total thread count, it will just slow down a bit. So, as plots move out of Phase 1, it frees up an extra thread which you can then use for a new plotter.

Phase 2, 3 and 4 are all single threaded. When you set your threads for the plotter, that only affects Phase 1. This is done because of the way Chia does its plotting.

This formula is your cores plus your threads divided by two. Let me explain each formula and its purpose, starting with the first one, CPU.
