8G ram and 480G SSD. I use a second 3T spinning drive to store the blocks since they don’t need to be on a fast drive - only the indexes and chainstate. The blocks folder is a symlink to the slower (and larger) drive.
This works because core doesn’t do random I/O on the blocks - they are written and read sequentially, so a regular hard drive works fine.
