It doesn't. A full node with electrum is currently 1TB. A full node with fulcrum is over 1TB now. So a 2TB SSD is a good idea for long term future use ( epsecially if you want to use a faster lookup like fulcrum ) so you don't have to download a ibd again.

i just use xrdp and directly use the bitcoin core GUI, and the only thing i imagine happening next might be running CLN on it
but the chain does grow like 100mb/day so 10 days = 1 gb and 350 left so 3500 days... ok, hah my node will be good until the hardware fails probably - and yes i have address and tx indexes enabled, uses 680gb
my mini pc was 140 euros and has 8gb memory so it's overkill hardware really, i just envisioned maybe i might run LN and one or two other things on it, i had imageproxy running on it for a while
