My bunker node is a six disk RAIDZ2 with ~20TB of storage with a server class motherboard, a Xeon E5 and 32GB ECC RAM. Lightning channels backed up automatically to remote location. All major parts have exact model NIB replacements offsite; two disks, two ram modules, identical mobo

Here I am impressed how well my bottom of the barrel Nuc with 2TB NVME and 8GB of RAM is handling the thrashing Iām giving its bitcoin RPC interface while I process all transactions since last December.
That is quite a setup you have. Iām officially jealous of it. š
Thanks! During the depths of the last bear market, I was content to run it all off of a raspberry pi, but out the other end of the bull, it was NOT an amount of bitcoin I was comfortable running something as rickety as a project SBC. It was a fun project and represents an investment of time and money that is more suited to the value the node now protects and the liquidity it provides.
