My Raspberry Pi 5 node is flying! 🚀 516GB synced in just 13 hours. Is this a new record?

Hey everyone,

I just started setting up my own Bitcoin full node at home using a Raspberry Pi 5 with Umbrel OS.

I’ve heard from many people that initial block download (IBD) usually takes a week or even more, but check this out: I managed to sync 516 GB in only 13 hours! (As shown in the screenshots).

My Setup:

• Hardware: Raspberry Pi 5.

• Storage: NVMe SSD connected via an M.2 NVMe HAT.

• Cooling: Official Active Cooler (stable at 50°C).

• Internet: 300 Mbps Fiber connection (running over Wi-Fi).

Am I on the right track? Is it the NVMe HAT + Fiber combo that made this possible, or did I just get lucky with my peers? 😅

Would love to hear your thoughts and if anyone else has achieved similar speeds with the Pi 5! 🚀🔥
