Hi, I have an old 1TB HDD which I can use right away.
Can I start with that and move the files to a bigger HDD later?
Btw. does the HDD or System Speed influence the income? I want to start with my old pi3 and I am worried if the slow processor might be limiting my profits?
What about upload speed? I have currently only 25mbit/s upload, is this enough?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

How important is download speed and bandwidth? The two most significant factors that will impact your success as a farmer (now called Storage Node Operator) are the uptime of your node and your available bandwidth. Your upload speed will govern the amount of data that can you can store and serve in a timely manner. The problem comes when you have bandwidth caps from your ISP. If bandwidth caps limit your ability to store and serve data, your node reputation will be impacted along with your ability to get data in the future. Your system then has to refill terabytes of data on a slow line. But, if you have a lot of bandwidth and high or no bandwidth cap, you can be very successful.
