Are there some recommended approaches for running Bitcoin Core on a laptop with constrained storage capacity? Is it possible to use an external hard drive as the data directory (datadir)? How does this setup work, and would I need to pay attention to?

Thank you in advance to everyone who responds to this question.

Why must people do things like this?

Here is my cheap solution buy a used laptop that allows a ssd to be put inside of it.


under 1 minute search on ebay I find a 2tb ssd i5 8th gen dell for $253.00

Problem solved.
