I think it’s pretty safe to assume that their node is full…11.6GB of ingress is stated, also the payout image shows disk average month at 1.68TBm…this would indicate to me that the node is full, and then periodically bits get deleted and a bit more space is free to receive data.
Comparatively, my two non-full nodes have received ~1.1TB of ingress traffic (combined) this month.
Good on your little guy! I think that’s a pretty decent egress milestone for such a little node.
For your reference here are my two nodes (both running on separate RPi 4’s (4GB version) each with USB 3.0 WD Elements 12TB HDDs, and 1Gbit up/down fiber):
Yes, Node 1 is somewhere between 200-400% ROI at this point with the recent surge in STORJ price and since I haven’t traded any of the tokens I’ve received thus far. Plus still have ~$200 in held amount…I was able to buy the HDDs on sale for ~$200, and then the RPi setup was around ~$80 (board, power supply, case with a fan, etc.)
I’ve discussed the HDDs in another thread on here before, where they’re not specifically designed like other HDDs to be on and in use 24/7, although they have held up well thus far, and essentially as long as they last a year, then I’ll be well over the break even point with respect to investment cost.
