  A 2tb SSD can now be bought for 100$.

    This is good to know. I might need to upgrade the storage for my Monero node.

      Just wondering, why do you run a monero node?

        How else are you going to bring up Monero in discussions about computer hardware?

        You should ideally run your own node when using Monero

        That’s the default setting when setting up a local wallet.

      This is how I know I’m getting old, my first thought was “spinning rust for always on long term storage” and then I remembered it’s 2025 and SSD’s are about equal now.

      Get off my lawn, your interrupting Matlock!

        Still cheaper though. 4TB you are looking at around 3x the price for it in SSD storage. Although I wonder how the power use compares, might be worth factoring in but probably isn’t too massive over it’s realistic lifespan
