Bitcoin Explorer disk space?

[makeholer]

Anyone here developed an Bitcoin (no altcoins) explorer?

I'm trying to store all the data (360million transactions) on MongoDB using https://github.com/norestlabs/mousexplore-vcoins/ but it will need around 3 terabytes of space and I'm not sure if it is reasonable.

There are multiple blockexplorer that are open source, you could check them out. A database-free one, but I doubt it has as many features as the others. Or also BlockCypher's and Bitpay's (Insight).

I tried Bitpay (it uses something like Microsoft Access to store data), i'ts VERY slow, like 20 seconds to show one address (even on bitpay official website).

I think any database-free will be very slow. I'll give BlockCypher a try.


Edit: Just installed BlockCypher and discovered it is a front-end only source, it doesn't store anything, just make the api calls to blockypher database...

Not sure what you mean by saying its very slow. I just tested out Insight on Bitpay's official website and its working really fine, not slow at all... Maybe its something on your end.
