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.

The block data itself is under 700 GB, but you also have to add in the indexes and log files, etc. Your node software is just giving you the total size of its data directory.
