Elaborate on SSD requirements #239

Closed silverfisk closed 2 years ago

silverfisk commented 2 years ago

I'm looking into using Umbrel for my RPI4 node and have some feedback.

Could the documentation elaborate on why an SSD is required for storage as opposed to regular HDDs? Or is it really a defenite requirement? If it is just preferable it should say so.

My current BTC node always ran on rotating disk storage. I understand SSD may be prefarable, but switching out all my TBs of HDDs to SSD would be quite costly. I'd probably just stay with my home grown node for now if that's the case.

@lukechilds Is it neccesary to blacklist UAS even if I have storage devices with it's own power source?

I'm running HDDs on a USB Raid set with its own power source . It would not detect the storage until I removed the blacklist_uas parts from /home/umbrel/umbrel/scripts/umbrel-os/external-storage/mount.

So far everything seem stable.

I can run commands or check logs if there's any interest to look this up.
