Yeah but I still don't recommend a RPi if you want a solid node operating experience.

what is the main problem with the RPi 4? processing power or RAM? or some other factor?

Low RAM and the fact that you're running the OS on a Micro SD prone to failure

disks reliability is the first issue in my list. USB storage sucks. Then there is limited resources. then whole platform stability

Id also recommend a 2TB SSD. If degen morons are gonna continue to want to pump monkey jpegs onto the network, the network is gonna be over 1TB rather quickly here.

or even better (if the budget allows it), a couple of 2TB SSDs so you can build a raid.

it is when you're using two or more disk as if they were one. It protects you from disk failures
