A lot of people who want to run a full node may not realize this, but it’s no longer possible to use a 1 TB SSD. Once you account for the formatted disk size, and factor in all the blockchain data, which is close to 700 GB, plus your system software, and any other apps you might want to run, you’re already out of space.

Thanks for the tip. I just ordered my first Raspberry Pi a few minutes ago, and I ordered a 2TB SSD with it thanks to you

Yeah, I had a 1 TB drive and a RasPi 4 in 2021. I ended up ditching both two years later to get a small PC with 2 TB, and it’s upgradable.

You may want to rethink your hardware choice, if not now, after you’ve been using it for a bit. The processor speed makes a big difference.

memory speed too, although this tends to be a package deal
