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
so 105/6.4 = 16.4 months or 1 year and 4 months.
or 105/5.8= 18.1 months of 1 year and 6 months
Either way too short and my guess of 2 year is also too short in the sense that nodes support network and need to run for decades not months.
Frankly I complained about this to the builder in a post here or on the other thread.
I would say the 500gb choice was wrong and I did say it.
In fact I will be this cloning the crucial 500gb to a crucial 1tb this week.
I will be making a YouTube video and linking the effort of cloning the drive in my review thread.
Sometimes things are done stupid cheap ('Pennywise pound foolish')
I have found that the drive is too small and that the feet are too short.
My YouTube video shows the larger feet I added.
As soon as you publish this video please let me know so I can purchase a bigger drive and do the same I’d rather just get it out of the way as soon as possible.
