That is a big device for running just a bitcoin node.

If you use start9 (good choice) you can run your own freeGPT in seconds.

And many other services.

If you do that, consider getting a smaller device, separate hardware, to just run Bitcoin core, electrum and a wallet. Something like an intel NUC or other mini pc with lower energy consumption.

Enjoy the adventure.

Thanks 🙏 yes, the energy consumption is also something i already thought about. But as i already struggle to make the ssd purchase i wanted to start with what i have. Waiting to be able to buy a nuc would be another hurdle

Do you think this device is overpowered for a bitcoin node? I was more concerned it was underpowered to be honest 😅
