Note that in order to process incoming validator deposits from the eth1 chain, you will need to run an eth1 client in parallel to your eth2 client. While it is possible to use a third-party service like [Infura](/infura-guide.md), if you choose to run your own eth1 client locally, you'll need more memory and storage.
For example, you'll need at least another **140GB SSD** to run [geth fast sync](/eth1.md) on mainnet.
> **Tip:** It's possible to [tell a Raspberry Pi 4 to use a 64-bit kernel](/pi-guide.md#10-64-bit-kernel).
