10 years down the road from now.. your node needs to accommodate up to about 200GB of growth since segwit, so you will need 2TB more than now if you don't plan to upgrade any in those 10 years. It's rare to run systems that long without an upgrade, but it sure is nice to know you can do it on a 4TB drive. So your total node price is gonna be in the ballpark of $500 in today's prices. I upgraded last year from a rpi 4 8gb to a refurbished Dell optiplex and only put 2tb in it, knowing I'd upgrade to 4tb or 8tb in a few more years when prices come down more.
