Whats the size of local cache

That’s pretty dang cute ! Where do you order that from?

Just got it on Amazon

Dang it! I swore off Amazon years ago but now I’m gonna have to make considerations! Thanks for sharing !

Thats the one!

The enclosure is sabrent as well. I’m liking their stuff

I’ve haven’t had a failure, but I did have some underperformance that I don’t think was machine related, so I’ve stayed away since. I RELY on their 2.5” sata to usb adapters though - big fan, not a single issue. Great price point, and I’ve bought over a dozen.

USB c? I have a 1tb that’s just sitting there, didn’t end up installing in my node. Perhaps this is the better way.

Haha i had the same situation. I have an arm board ready to go but im too lazy to install linux onto it. Now i just plug this in occasionally and sync with bitcoin-qt on my mac.

It truly is adorbs

lot of alpha in this post

I don’t know why I thought I saw that you were cleaning a Glock. 🤣

If you're in Indonesia

You also consider to buy this one. Same speed more cheap.

I have the same one! Pretty handy

Same sabrent m2 sitting around (actually the 1tb version). I put it to good use when I built my node

Wow.

I have that exact housing. I use it to dual boot my steam deck for playing emulated games with Batocera.

Hmm... this has to stop Will

Is this hardware really worth a buy? Sure you must join a mining pool and get 0.00xxx BTC but does it pay out, means you actually make a plus? I have here an #AntMiner S9 and it consumes 1 KW and produces 1 THash/sec.

huh

Node != miner

Yes, now I saw it. Okay. :-)

Sabrent?

I want one for Christmas

What’s the use case for a mobile bitcoin node? Archiving? I have an unused drive but already run a BTC node on an Intel NUC so I don’t understand the benefit in that case.

haha, i have that same case 🤙🏻

What is the price ? How to use it ?

are you running the node on that NVMe or on the mac?

Looks cool, what is this used for?
