I have seen a few posts advocating that 2TB is a “Sweet Spot” for a Node but I haven’t seen any clear explanation on why this is the case. Can someone explain this for me? I am currently running a single 8TB docker (2.5GB used space), if I can fill the space faster by running more containers on th…

[image] Craig: One benefit of splitting this to multiple nodes is as the drives fill up you can migrate to larger drives and already have the established reputation vetting. this is cheating, not benefit. The vetting process have been designed to test your setup for reliability and to do not …

[image] Toyoo: Why would SNOs take the ToS seriously? Whilst I don’t disagree with your sentiment, it’s totally within Storj’s control to police the nodes and SNOs, including the terms and conditions, as they see fit. Initially downtime/offline suspension wasn’t enforced but in March 2021 it …

[image] Alexey: You can run several nodes, but as pointed out - they will not get more data than only one node if all of them in the same /24 subnet No you may not: “Operate more than one (1) Storage Node behind the same IP address” Does this still apply?

It’s one thing to state that some limit is not enforced yet—which is what happened before March 2021—another to explicitly encourage a specific practice that is against ToS.

To add another perspective, I run my node on ZFS datasets. Using the same hardware that has been through the vetting process I can increase the free space available to storj through a simple setting.

Please don’t use the migration guide as an excuse to cheat the vetting system. The Migration Guide to Other Hardware (the disk in particular) was originally designed for those who have a full disk and would like to expand the space provided, or to migrate to less power-hungry hardware like the Rasp…

Back to the original topic, here’s my take on it: Whether you have one big node or a few small ones, you will get the same amount of data on them, but there are other differences. I actually have a single large node (21TB used), but I can see why I would want to have many small ones instead. Why w…

[image] Pentium100: Why would I want to have a single big node: I would also add that usually a single big HDD consumes less power per TB than many small disks. But that applies when the disk is full though, which could take years…^^’

i guess not much have changed over the last 3 years? ie 2 nodes behind the same IP will get the same amount of data as 1 node would?
