I'm not sure about the running costs. It would be much.

The 2tb SSD cost a few hundred dollars and the computer I got for free.

I'm still hanging on with 1tb. Probably need to start thinking about that.

My problem with running a node is the internet speed. I think the recent inscription/BRC20 stuff is making it harder to sync and stay insync

Do you have any data on this? Inscriptions or not the block size has a max.

TBH I don't have any data and wouldn't know how to look.

I thought it could have been the RAM so I upgraded last year but still having the same issues. So its either the internet, or excess on chain data.

Unless you're on dial-up or some kind of mobile network, you shouldn't be having trouble downloading even full blocks. It's only a couple megabytes every 10 minutes. Could be something else going on

I'd just prune. 1tb is plenty
