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?

Hi FutureBit gang,

I have a Full BTC Node running fantastically, mostly unattended except for the few times I got it dusted off. I noticed that disk is almost full with space remaining at 3.31%. I am wondering if there is a recommended upgrade path and instructions I should follow. Thanks for your help!!
