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
1. Install the second internal drive (NVME or SSD) into its appropriate USB enclosure, NOT into the Second machine yet.
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.
