Replacing my Raspberry Pi #bitcoin nodes with a new #node on proper #hardware. Which m2 #ssd do I go for? I want this node to last for a long time so I'm getting at least a 2 TB one.
Samsung is solid from my experience.
Samsung' ssd have general good quality and higher performance, and they cost a bit more also, but it is worth the price. In case you haven't done it yet, use one main disk for the OS and the 2TB ssd for the blockchain data. In this way at least you dont lost both the node and the blockchain data
@0xtr You don't actually need anything close to NVMe performance for storing blocks. And since you're not rewriting blocks all the time, any cheap SSD or NVMe will suffice.
if you have the physical space, you could buy two not very big SSD to use in raid (better with btrfs or ZFS) for the important data, and a large and cheap HDD for the blocks
I just replaced the stock 1TB one in my i7 mini pc with this one. Available on NewEgg https://image.nostr.build/82bd061b794647f99bb34b1801160159f7e817c9e497d26bbb75a972d223e830.jpg
