Friendly reminder:

Running an Ethereum full node + validators is relatively easy and very low hardware cost (<$500 USD).

I'm running a full node and many validators on a low-powered Rock 5 Model B device (pictured is Mercadian Systems' Proteus variant).

I was experimenting running the Graph indexer on testnet last year and needed a full ETH node for it. The CPU didn't really matter but having more than 4 tb on fast  pro grade nvme  SSD was a requirement. So how did you manage the fast storage requirement part for that price?

I use a 2TB Samsung nvme drive which works fine and you can get them for ~$150 USD last time I checked and a Rock 5B can be found for between $150 and $200 USD
