I am several months into the self-hosting journey and I feel I have outgrown my Pi 4 B 8GB. I’m only running around 3 dozen containerized services and it seems to struggle to keep up. But I’m not sure of the best bang for my buck. I’d like good, long-term performance, but I don’t really have a grand lying around for a Lenovo Tiny or Dell Optiplex or ASUS NUC. I’m thinking of buying an SSD to boot from, but will this even help much? For $350-500, could I make a more cost effective homeserver upgrade?

    You can get a decent Lenovo Tiny for 75€ + 10€ IMO. On eBay.

    Like some 2-4 core 4-8GB 120-240GB SSD. Blasts a hole in any SOC like the raspberry.
