Title: How large is the block chain DB?
Post by: opentoe on October 19, 2015, 03:28:43 PM
I have a 120GB SSD drive all setup for use with Armory and ran out of space while downloading the blockchain. How big is this thing now? I just can't see using over 100GB on my primary Intel 750 SSD drive. I have 120GB SSD's laying around to use, but not enough?

When Armory downloads the first part, that huge 28-30GB file, is that file automatically deleted after it is imported or used?

EDIT:
That's what I had to do. I had to manually delete that large CDN seed download from the beginning since it was holding over 30GB+ of space. Once I did that, Armory was then able to finish up. Now I just imported my wallet and has to scan for transactions. Has to be done on an SSD. Mechanical drive's are jut too slow.
