Bitnodes Launches 'Power-Efficient' Bitseed Rival

Addy Yeow, the developer behind Bitnodes, has released a new hardware bitcoin node.

According to the website, which monitors bitcoin node performance worldwide, the Bitnodes Hardware B1 model comes equipped with the latest version of Bitcoin Core and is said to be a "low footprint quad-core single-board computer built and configured to operate a dedicated bitcoin full node".

Will these devices work properly when block sizes increase to 20MB? Will storage need to be upgraded. Is the OS on the storage device or on a separate flash?

My current bitcoin full node is a spare AMD bulldozer + mobo with a 300GB hard drive for storing the blockchain. I have currently allocated 6 threads for script verification.
