I was thinking to set up a full btc node and was wondering where the hell I would find a 1TB SD card.....


Thank you all for the info!
Love to everyone

What you need a 1TB Sd Card for?
If you read this thread basically everyone has been telling that SD card are notoriously unreliable for continuous R/W operations required by running a node.
Or, better, the price of very reliable SD card is not justified for the "cheap" setup we are trying to discuss here.

So, the best option is to attach a decent SSD (superfast units are not required either) unit and use a 32 GB SD card to burn the raspi OS.

If in doubt, just follow his very simple guide:
