Re: Official FutureBit Apollo BTC Software/Image and Support thread

Full Node finally finished the blockchain sync. Any guess as to when we will need to upgrade the 500gb to something bigger?

2 years

Full Node disk space additions without address index and also ignoring blocks/index:

Dec 6.1G
Jan 6.4G
Feb 5.8G
Mar 6.4G
Apr 5.8G
May 6.4G

So going on 6.1G a month and a 512GiB drive holds 460GB in disk space (and ignoring anything else there)
and current is 383G, the answer would appear to be 12.6 months - if you let it fill up and didn't care about it failing due to that.

Just hope there's way less transactions due to a lower BTC price, and I guess then it may make it to 2 years?

wrong ratios

395 against 500

you have 105 left over

...

Firstly, yep I wrote 512 when I should have written 500

You posted this device: https://www.crucial.com/ssd/p2/CT500P2SSD8
Which is 500GB, but that's 500*1000*1000*1000 but all OSes will read this as 465GB = 465*1024*1024*1024 or less.

But unless that 465GBs of storage has nothing else on it but the .bitcoin directory, it will lose a few GB so probably 460GB in OS terms.
My months stats I stated above are the same OS GB

Login to your linux box on it and type:

Code:

df -h

and you'll see how big it is and how much is used.
