Comment on HDD or SSD for a home server?
theonyltruemupf@feddit.de 4 months agoI have Nextcloud running on a Pi4 and it runs like a charm. It has a lot of RAM and processing power to spare, actually. The good thing about arm mini computers is the exceptionally low power draw. You can’t achieve that with some old x86 PC.

I second this.
I have a nextcloud instance on pi4 for personal use and love it.
It’s not good for live transcoding of video, but works great for calendars, file sharing, photo sharing and music streaming.
I have a 500 gig SSD for most stuff and a 6TB HDD for backups and archiving.
I use docker compose to map a folder called archive in my instance to the HDD.
