Yes and honestly most of that drive is empty. Using less than 50GB I think and it only has stuff for lightning.
On Start9 if you have less than 1TB it prunes your node down to the last 0.5 GB of the blockchain. You still download the entire thing but it deletes the old blocks as it goes.
Ideally you would want a 2TB drive and have a full copy of the blockchain but for what we’re doing I don’t think it’s needed.
I researched full vs pruned nodes when I bought this and couldn’t find a good reason to not do it. Plus 2TB SSDs are expensive and this is my first lightning node so I didn’t want to spend the money.
Sir TJ is running the same setup
