I'm planning to set up an
Ethereum archive node and want to know how much storage space is required for it. I need to ensure I have enough capacity on my server to handle the archive node data.

For instance, the Geth client software consumes approximately 15+ TB of disk space. This is due to the extensive data and historical information it stores.

A minimum of 16 GB RAM is necessary to run a Full Archive node. This ensures that the node can handle the data and transactions smoothly.

Alternatively, the Erigon client software requires more than 2 TB of disk space. While this is less than Geth, it is still a significant amount of storage needed.

However, for optimal performance, 32 GB RAM is highly recommended. This will allow the node to process more data and transactions simultaneously.
