A lot of people who want to run a full node may not realize this, but it’s no longer possible to use a 1 TB SSD. Once you account for the formatted disk size, and factor in all the blockchain data, which is close to 700 GB, plus your system software, and any other apps you might want to run, you’re already out of space.

Yup. Also consider that bitcoind indexing plus electrum indexing takes up about 120GB. To do anything fun or performant with a node for (optimisitically) the next decade, 2TB is the new standard.
