Do you have a plan to mirror/aggregate/import nostr events from other relays to your relay?

If not then I think 40GB will give you 2+ years. Assuming it is public relay with small activity/users who write events on that. If yes then you might need at least 128GB since mirroring/aggregating/importing from other relays need quite a lot storage.

Somehow I though it would require far more storage than that for a mirror relay.

I had no idea that Nostr relay software where so efficient with storage. Good to know! Tks!

I have run an aggregator relay and it tooks around 170GB after mirroring nostr events from major popular relay since January 2023. Yes, the storage size depends on whether do we mirror all events or certain kind events? Also, what is the time range that we mirror the events?

Welcome. You can also probably start to check out of "strfry", "nostream", and "nostr-rs-relay". They are mature and popular relay softwares.
