I'm selling items I don't need on eBay, which I absolutely hate, so that I can raise funds to build a new, more powerful Lightning node with a RAID 1 setup. 🤙

Do I build one from scratch or buy a refurbished small form factor machine with two SATA ports? Decisions.

A refurb will be cheaper, but finding a device that supports 2X storage devices is the kicker.

If you've done this, what hardware did you decide upon?

There are 5-7 years old second-hand servers that really do the job very well for what you need. Even with dual power supply

I had rack mount servers in my house for many many years. I don't need or want that.

Then I misunderstood. If you are looking for a cheap option, I have set up raid storage with an old laptop, using both sata ports. With the added bonus of the battery, which saves you from power outages.

In fact I have a node just like this 🙂
