Overview

The Bitmain Antminer DR7, launched in July 2024, is Bitmain’s high-performance ASIC miner for SCPrime (SCP) mining using the Blake2B-SCP algorithm. With a powerful hashrate of 127 TH/s and a power consumption of approximately 2730 W, it offers efficiency around 21.5 J/TH—making it one of the most capable and optimized machines for the SCPrime storage network.


About the Coin: SCPrime (SCP)

SCPrime is a decentralized cloud storage network that enables secure, encrypted file storage using blockchain-powered Proof-of-Work consensus. It supports long-term Web3 infrastructure with a utility-driven model.
Built on the Blake2B-SCP algorithm, SCPrime rewards miners for securing data transactions across the network, supporting real-world use cases for decentralized storage. The project has positioned itself as a serious alternative to centralized cloud providers.

SCPrime combines practical utility with mining rewards, making it appealing for long-term mining strategies — especially as demand for decentralized file storage grows globally.


Exterior Design

The DR7 features Bitmain’s industrial air-cooled chassis, measuring 400 × 195.5 × 290 mm with a net weight of 16.1 kg. Its robust, metal build is similar to the L7 but internally optimized for Blake2B-SCP operation. Built for endurance in high-load environments, the unit includes optimized heat sinks and layout for consistent long-term performance.


Power Supply & PSU Details

The DR7 comes with a high-efficiency built-in APW171417B V1.00 power supply that supports 220–240 V AC input at 50–60 Hz, drawing approximately 20 A at full load.
It includes a 2x C13 Plug (20A) optimized for stable performance during long-term mining operations.


Cooling System

The DR7 is cooled by 4x high-performance fans, arranged in a front-to-back airflow configuration for maximum ventilation. These fans actively maintain temperature stability even under continuous, high-density hashing.

  • Efficiency: ~21.5 J/TH ± 5%
  • Power Draw: ~2730 W
  • Layout: 3x tightly arranged hashboards, engineered for Blake2B

ASIC Chips

The Antminer DR7 uses custom Bitmain 92 ASIC chips on each hashboard, designed specifically for Blake2B-SCP, enabling efficient processing for decentralized storage transaction validation and data proof hashing.


Operational Specs

  • Algorithm: Blake2B-SCP (SCPrime)
  • Voltage: 220–240 V AC
  • Operating Temp: -5–45 °C
  • Storage Temp: –20–70 °C
  • Humidity Tolerance: 10–90% RH, non-condensing
  • Altitude: ≤ 2000 m (performance degrades above 900 m)
  • Network: RJ45 Ethernet 10/100 Mbps

Profitability (Last Update: 25th June 2025)

  • Hashrate: 127 TH/s
  • Power Draw: ~2730 W = 2.79 kW
  • Daily Energy Use: 2.79 kW × 24 h = 66.96 kWh
  • Electricity Cost @ $0.01/kWh: 66.96 × $0.01 = $0.67/day
  • Estimated Daily Revenue: ≈ $6.40 (per MiningNow.com)
  • Estimated Daily Electricity Cost: ≈ $0.67
  • Net Profit: $6.40 – $0.67 = $5.73/day

Conclusion

The Antminer DR7 is Bitmain’s flagship solution for SCPrime mining, delivering 135 TH/s with impressive energy efficiency and industrial-grade stability. With custom ASIC chips and an architecture tailored to the Blake2B-SCP algorithm, it represents one of the best options for entering the decentralized storage ecosystem.

As SCPrime gains momentum as a real-use Layer 1 storage network, the DR7 positions miners to earn steady rewards from a network that goes beyond speculative value—offering a real-world, decentralized alternative to traditional cloud solutions.
