How to Download Bitcoin core with 60GB storage

[satscraper]

But how do I know when a bitcoin Core is writing  chainstate to disk ??,
Went through the reindex link it isn't  a good one ...

After closing Bitcoin Core the small window warns you to not turn off computer until this small window ,  disappears. This means that  during this  time Bitcoin Core is still producing some operations.

Went through the reindex link it isn't  a good one ...

Yeah. in most cases it doesn't help.

I found that to not waste the time it is  better to start IBD from scratch than perform reindex.

Ohh there's  a prompt, then I shouldn't  worry much about it while synchronising and downloading the blocks
One of the triggers is a corrupt disk that could really affect .
Also I noticed it kinda drain battery

I want to complete the [CHALLENGE] Run A Bitcoin Node: 14 Days but it require high storage like 700 GB but on my laptop had 256GB SSD from there i have only 60GB free space. there are any option to download with my 60GB storage or i need to buy 1TB HDD or SSD? i need your help. please give me a good suggestion.

You don't need any purchase More storage like 1TB HDD or SSD I also take part this challenge and almost 12 days passed I have a lack of storage and my PC total have 256 GB SSD and only 100 GB empty and I successfully run this node in my pc due to Prune option and you can manage according your storage from 2GB to unlimited

First just you can download setup only 26 MB almost and when you install this bitcoin core then it will ask for which disk you can select for this node and in last it also asks for Limit block chain storage or you can also enable prune feature on setting. You can easily run this node with low storage

When using the GUI, it tells you on the screen. Just wait for it to close gracefully. The reason for the warning is that closing Bitcoin Core can take a long time, especially when using HDD. That doesn't mean it's hanging, so don't kill it.

On the CLI, just check if it's still running.
