### Minimal Storage Mode
To run Reth in minimal storage mode, follow the steps from the previous chapter on
[how to run on mainnet or official testnets](/run/ethereum), and add a `--minimal` flag. For example:
```bash
reth node \
--minimal \
--authrpc.jwtsecret /path/to/secret \
--authrpc.addr 127.0.0.1 \
--authrpc.port 8551
```
Minimal storage mode is a preconfigured pruned node profile that aims to minimize disk usage by fully
pruning sender recovery, transaction lookup, and receipts, and by keeping only the last 10,064 blocks
of account history, storage history, and block bodies with smaller static file segments.
## Size
All numbers are as of April 2024 at block number 19.6M for mainnet.
