Can I download the blockchain, with a regular harddrive? I don't have an SSD one. Is there away for me to download the block chain faster? Right now my Monerod says (69%, 846310 left). The net hash is 288.72 MH/s, v11, 12(out)+29(in)

I'm not going to download the blockchain, unless it will be ok with my type of hard drive. Here is a website that I read about downloading the blockchain. https://www.monero.how/tutorial-how-to-speed-up-initial-blockchain-sync

I have 16GB of RAM, and am using a laptop.

Yes, but it will take considerably longer to sync than if you use a locally attached SSD.

However, once you've done the initial full sync, and if you plan on keeping it continuously online, there won't be any significant impact moving onwards.
