Day 1 of my Bitcoin Full Node Project.

I found an old MacBook Air from me, now trying to restart it.

It only has 128 GB of Storage, so I will order an external 1TB SSD for the full Blockchain.

Would you guys say 1TB is enough, heard about some people recommending 2TB?

The blockchain is around 670 GB right now. If you're just going to run a node and nothing else, get 1 tb and save your pennies. Bitcoin maths says by the time you need more space, it'll cost you a lot less sats

Thank you, so you would recommend only 1TB SSD and the budget for the second TB should better stay in Sats until the blockchain reaches 1TB 👍

If you are only running a node, 1tb will see you out for another couple of years. If you buy btc with the money instead of a hard drive, by the time you need 2 tb you'll be able to buy 4 tb
