You’ll need closer to 2TB depending on your sync type and client. I quit using ETH years ago because of how difficult it was to do the initial block download and cost of maintaining a non-pruned node.
Heya,
Even though you have a 500 GB volume, it’s crucial to ensure your primary disk has enough space for temporary files and operations.
You can check our docs on how to fix issues related to disk space
