Hi guys,
Given the limited hard drive for the node that comes inside the Futurebit Apollo BTC, I am thinking of increasing the hard drive; I think that keeping nodes running indefinitely is important because if each of us did this, it would keep the network strong and decentralized, but I am not sure exactly how to approach it. Can I simply attach an external SDD drive to it via its USB ports, or must I figure out how to install a larger internal hard drive?
Thanks!
If you have a "Batch 3" unit, the 1TB SSD is currently less than half full, so it's good for a quite some time.
If you have an older unit with the (now) nearly full 500GB SSD, just buy a 1TB NVMe SSD, shut down and power off, replace the 500GB SSD (it's obvious when you turn the unit over), and fire it all up again. It will take a couple days to sync again of course.
