Yeah, you'll be fine. Also, if you upgrade to 0.94 when it comes out, the amount of space will be cut by about half. My pre-release, fully synced Armory 0.94 DB is ~175 MB, with ~46 GB worth of blocks and another 1 GB worth of "chainstate" data under BC Core.

I don't want to eat up expensive SSD space, so I think there is a way you can point to use another drive for the database. I didn't spend bookoo money on an Intel 750 SSD for an 100GB blockchain DB.

One of these days the DB will just be too large for local machines. Unless developers figure something out I guess.

There are two command line options. Use the "--datadir" option to change the Armory home directory (not that big a deal once 0.94 is released), and the "--satoshi-datadir" option to change the Bitcoin home directory (much more important since you'll still need a full blockchain).

I just got this example from the wiki at "https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -datadir=d:\BitcoinData

I just installed, so I don't need to move anything. My bitcoin data directory is o:\blockchain
So my Armory settings should look like this, right?

Just checked my own armory/bitcoin datadirs, it's a total of ~89 GB at this point in time. You should be alright.

If you're not using the supernode mode, then it should be done at somewhere close to 100GB.

Hi,

i am syncing right now and its already at 80 GB usage. Is a HD with 130GB enough??

It's almost complete, but judging by the time of your post, you know already.

ok, so the database wont need another 40GB?
