Best storage type for running a walrus node?
I'm planning to build a walrus node and I'm concerned about storage requirements and costs. I see that it requires a 52TB disk space, but I'm not sure if it needs to be SSD, NVMe, or HDD. Also, if I choose SSD, are SATA SSDs sufficient, or do I need NVMe?
- Walrus
- Typescript SDK

SATA SSDs are fine, and there is no need for them to be NVMe. This choice would be a cost-effective option while still getting the benefits of faster syncing compared to HDD.
