@savvytester told me that they think that running a Hive Witness node alone would require at least 500 GB of SSD storage (as it would take a significantly longer time to sync the blockchain using a HDD), though with the nature of Hive as a blockchain, there won't be as many writes needed on the SSD. 🧘♂️ Add other second-layer Hive network nodes (such as #HiveEngine and #Magi) and you would need more storage. 🤓

If I were to run multiple different kinds of nodes, Hive versions or other otherwise, I would have each on their own laptop. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

That's !INDEED what @savvytester (and also I) thinks is a good practice when running nodes, such that when one node fails (catastrophically) and eats up the entire system's computing resources, the other nodes would barely be affected (if at all) as they are in separate computers. 😎

It's a good practice, I'd say, since running more than one node on one system is just asking for problems. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

There's the fact though that even when nodes are separate but they are connected through the same local network, the other nodes might have difficulty synchronizing if one node tries to eat up all the network bandwidth !INDEED. 🤯🤓

Indeed, which is why a high-bandwidth, no-cap, stable, consistent, and reliable internet connection is necessary, along with managing how much each node can access at one time. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Given nearly all of the world needs the Internet at present, it would seem weird indeed if a wired Internet connection has a data cap. 🤯
Periods of network connection loss (also at present, for any reason) get less tolerable over time. 🤯😅
You're missing a word at the beginning of that sentence. When I mention a data cap, I mean that it is not an unlimited connection, so beyond a certain point, bandwidth slows immensely. I don't know how many people in the world deal with such intermittent internet. As an example of data use that would not work on capped data connection, I use about 4TB of bandwidth every month, most of which is from my Qortal node, and Arch Linux updates. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I know that throttling by certain Internet Service Providers, such that exceeding the data cap for a given period of time (usually a day and/or a month) makes the ISP severely reduce the network speed (such as down to 1 megabyte per second) until the next "period". 🤯
It's understandable though that mobile networks have data caps, as wireless Internet connections directly to the ISP are (currently) more expensive than wired ones. 💸😅
