Ah, right, storage performance bound.
The Etherium blockchain is roughly 1122.97 GB. Cool, how long would it take me to write all that data with an RPI4? Let's pick the ~20th fastest SSD listed, just so we ensure we don't have a ringer in the data: https://pibenchmarks.com/benchmark/53760/
Awesome, let's do some division. Let's pick the DD speed:
1122.97GB/174 MB/s = 1.79273627 hours. Hm, that can't be it.
The RPI4 could write the entire Eth blockchain in under 2 hours. Hmm. Well, maybe there's lots of data being added in a torrent at the end? That could be a real problem?
Looks like it's adding about 3GB a day. A rip roaring rate of 34.7222222 kBps.
Ok with the data in hand, this looks like a pathetic system and it doesn't look like a technical achievement. It looks like an embarrassment to me. Could you check my numbers?
