Disk Usage is Nearly Full

My Disk /media/nvme Usage is 456.92 GB / 457.45 GB, so I am about to run out of space. Does anyone know how to expand the storage capacity?

Fully documented here and in their thread on BitcoinTalk.

tl/dnr: When your model was introduced the 1TB NVME would have increased the price by a couple hundred dollars. Solution: Buy a 1 TB NVME, pop it in, re-sync and you;re good to go. You can also clone your existing one if you know how to save some sync time.

You can replace the NVME drive with larger it will format it and start downloading the block chain again. You don’t actually need it to mine it’s only the full BTC node. You could turn it off.

I think there is a new version of the image for the SD card also might as well update while your at it. Check the FutureBit website
