I just received an older Apollo BTC  Batch1 - batch3. and flashed it  to 2.0.6.

It is up running hashing to a pool and loading the node.

Looking over the comments in this link I begin to wonder if I should be looking for a 2Tb NVME to replace my 1Tb in the near future..

If so should I worry about brands and speeds?
And is it just a simple swap-out?

TNX

I just answered my own question.
From a fresh format of the 1Tb NMVE in my Apollo BTC I ran out of disc room after loading just over 85% of the chain.

So the question now is will the Apollo BTC support a 2Tb NMVE or will I just not be able to support a node?

Where do I go from here?

Hmmm. For reference, I show 25.66% remaining on my 1 TB NVME that came with my Apollo II (as of today with a blockchain size of 665.74GB).

Same here, still plenty of space left on my 1TB

Third time and it is full in the mid 80% again
The first time I ran it out of the box and the next two times I used the Apollo BTC format function.
Each time the used % and free % look great up till it gets into the 70% used and then all of a sudden it is clear that there is no longer enough space remaining.

Where do I go from here?
