Antminer D9 vs Bitmain Antminer DR5 (34Th)
Side-by-side specs, profitability, and home mining comparison.
Quick verdict
The Antminer D9 (1,770.0 GH/s, X11) and Bitmain Antminer DR5 (34Th) (34.0 TH/s, Blake256r14) mine different algorithms and cannot be compared head-to-head — Different algorithms make direct comparison impossible — choose based on your target cryptocurrency.

Profitability Comparison
Bitcoin (SHA-256) profitability math does not apply here: the Antminer D9 mines X11 and the Bitmain Antminer DR5 (34Th) mines Blake256r14. Daily revenue for each depends on its own coin's network difficulty, block reward, and price — not on Bitcoin difficulty — so a single BTC calculation cannot compare them.
Verdict
Two specialized Bitmain miners targeting different algorithms. The Antminer D9 mines X11 (the algorithm used by Dash) at roughly 1,770 GH/s, while the DR5 mines Blake256R14 (the algorithm used by Decred) at about 34 TH/s. A comparison for diversified altcoin mining portfolios.
These miners serve different algorithms and cannot be directly compared on hashrate or efficiency. The D9 is an X11 machine for Dash; the DR5 is a Blake256R14 machine for Decred. The choice depends entirely on which cryptocurrency you want to mine. Both are well-built Bitmain products.
Spec Deltas
The Antminer D9 and Bitmain Antminer DR5 (34Th) diverge on the metrics below — each gap expressed as a real percentage, not a vague "better":
- Bitmain Antminer DR5 (34Th) 37% better power draw (2,839 vs 1,800 W)
- Bitmain Antminer DR5 (34Th) 42% better weight (16.1 vs 9.4 kg)
- Antminer D9 58% more heat output (9,687 vs 6,142 BTU/hr)
- Bitmain Antminer DR5 (34Th) 38% more score de minage domestique (8.0 vs 11.0)

Foire aux questions
What algorithm do these miners use?
They use different algorithms: the Antminer D9 mines X11, used by Dash (DASH), at roughly 1,770 GH/s, while the Antminer DR5 mines Blake256R14, used by Decred (DCR), at about 34 TH/s. Neither machine can mine the other's coin.
Can D-Central repair these specialized miners?
Yes. D-Central's ASIC repair capabilities cover Bitmain's full lineup including non-SHA-256 miners.
