nice. i have a ryzen too and use plex for transcoding. saw someone on reddit saying a full node was thrashing the mechanical drives constantly reading the UTXO db to verify transactions and didn't recommend it. the chainstate folder gets cached and they only had 512 mb ram so i'm sure that was their issue. thanks again.

Hm well I have had to RMA 4 drives in the last several years... I've been blaming Seagate but now you've got me thinking it was my node wrecking my drives

No no, it’s seagate lol

WD spinning rust or Samsung flash is my preference.

gtk. well, apparently the overpriced nuc that is umbrel home can handle it and more, so setting up nvme as cache or decicated storage pool + maxing out the ram should go a long way to mitigate excessive hits to the drives. i'm using sg ron wolf pros and was going to trick the syno out anyway so i guess we'll see how it affects performance/durability as i upgrade over time
