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?

Both SSD and HDD are acceptable for running a walrus node. However, using an SSD will result in faster sync times for your node.

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.
