> I would only use 3.5in drives for storj, also keep in mine if you plan on using a rpi as a node you will need to use a better boot media then SD cards, probably better to use a small usb ssd drive for the boot because you will be replacing tons of sd cards because they do not last last maybe 2-4 months they will either corrupt or stop working all together. Ask me how I know.

I am using this one: SanDisk MAX ENDURANCE microSD card 32GB  
Should work a while. Hopefully longer than a state of the art SSD. 😇 @jeremyfritzen
