DB Size is shown with values for different types of nodes: Full, and different levels of expiry: Post-Merge history only; rolling expiry for `33_024` epochs.
"tbd" means I haven't gathered the data. "n/a" means the client does not support this expiry mode, yet. ">1.7 TiB" means I ran out of space on my test node with 2TB drive.

All clients continously prune state, and can expire history.

Notes on disk usage
- All clients other than "Nethermind with HalfPath DB" continously prune state
- Nethermind - HalfPath DB state size can be reduced when it grew too large, by [online prune](NodeTypes.mdx).
