Title: [2016-03-15] PiDrive Turns Raspberry Pi Into A Perfect Bitcoin Node Solution
Post by: jdebunt on March 15, 2016, 08:32:37 AM
Are you excited about the PiDrive? Would you use it to run a Bitcoin Node, or do something else with it?

For those people who have always been interested in running a Bitcoin Node on their Raspberry Pi, Western Digital has taken notice of your comments and come up with a solution. Their new 314 GB hard drive is designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi, and will be known under the name “PiDrive”. With a very low entry price and the vast amount of storage provided, the PiDrive makes for an excellent media and Bitcoin node solution.

WD already had a storage solution for Raspberry's, so I don't really see why only this product was in the news... I hope it's an improvement to previous product and can run with a single psu and usb connection directly to the RPi while having really low power consumption. This will definitely be nice to run a small, inexpensive node :)
