# 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.
The best thing you can do is to set your Pi to run Pyrmont. If you have no trouble syncing 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.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I expect the new Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB RAM option, external SSD) to handle an Eth2 validator node without breaking a sweat.
