How long could a Nostr node and a Bitcoin node last on a SSD? They both are very write-heavy

The term TBW stands for Total Bytes Written and its an important indicator of a solid state drive’s endurance or estimated lifespan. It essentially tells you the amount of data you can write to the drive before it can no longer function correctly.

So it depends on the drive's TBW spec. Ideally you want to choose a ssd with a large TBW. You can look here for suggestions.

Speaking of space taken, i have no experience with a #Nostr relay (yet), but i know the #Bitcoin ledger will use a total of 1TB in the next 3 years, which should help when plan an upgrade

Thst will suck. I run bitcoind on my nas so it can write direct

I got space for it
