Below are suggested minimum hardware requirements for each type of node.

* 16GB RAM
* 1TB SSD (full node) or 4TB SSD (archive node)
* Reasonably modern CPU

### SSD Capacity Requirements

Given the growing size of the blockchain state, choosing the right SSD size is important.
Below are the storage needs as of April 2024:

* **Full Node:** The snapshot size for a full node is approximately 1.6TB, with the data directory's capacity increasing by about 1TB every six months.
* **Archive Node:** The snapshot size for an archive node is approximately 5TB, with the data directory's capacity increasing by about 3TB every six months.

Based on these trends, node operators should plan for future storage needs and choose SSDs that can handle these increasing requirements.
