# Validating with a Raspberry Pi: Mainnet advice
Whether or not your Pi is up to the task will depend on a number of factors such as SSD speed, network connectivity, etc. So it's best to verify performance on a testnet first.
Whether or not your Pi is up to the task will depend on a number of factors such as SSD speed, network connectivity, etc. As such, it's best to verify performance on a testnet first.
The best thing you can do is to set your Pi to run Pyrmont. **If you have no trouble syncing and attesting on Pyrmont, your setup should be more than good enough for mainnet** as well (Mainnet is expected to use fewer resources).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We&#39;ve been running lots of PIs and NanoPCs 24/7 for 3 years and never got a hardware fail. It is easy (and cheap) to get redundancy of components (even spare PIs in different locations, more of this to come).</p>&mdash; Ethereum on ARM (@EthereumOnARM) <a href="https://twitter.com/EthereumOnARM/status/1332772217420177408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 28, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Although we don't expect it to happen, we recommend buying a spare Pi, and enterprise grade SSD, on the off-chance yours fails. Keep your original SD around, so you can copy the image + Nimbus software quickly over to your spare SSD.
