4. Second machine needs the following hardware specs:
- Intel or AMD processor (NO ARM processors)
- 16GB of RAM or Larger
- First main internal drive to install Sovran_SystemsOS (NVME 500GB or larger)
- Second internal drive to store the Bitcoin blockchain and the automatic backups (SSD or NVME 2TB or larger)
- Also, the Second internal drive needs to be be installed FIRST into an USB enclosure. If the second drive is SSD, you need a SSD USB enclosure. If the second drive is NVME, you need a NVME USB enclosure. The USB enclosure will be plugged into the first Linux machine.

## Preparing the Second Internal Drive

2. Plug in the USB enclosure with the second drive installed into the first machine with Linux installed into one of its available USB ports.
