SSD or HDD for Umbrel

[Hungvatly]

I plan to use a Raspberry Pi running Umbrel to use Next Cloud, Photoprism, and Jellyfin. Where I live, the price for a 2 1 TB hard drive is nearly the same. Should I go with SSD or HDD?

A pi isnt gonna handle that well at all just running a jellyfin host.

 

You're asking way more than that thingy is capable off.

 

I recommend you look at a cheap older office pc as even a i5 3470 is like MULTIPLE times faster.

 

If they are same price gwt an ssd

I actually have a pi already, so i just want to get the most out of it actually . So without Jellyfin, should i get a an ssd or HDD?

Ssd still if the price is the same.

 

keep in mind a pi is not really fast enough to even cap a 1gb/s network link.

 

It is gonna have a hrd time doing what you want so expext it to be slow

Even a portable SSD would be too fast for a Pi. Purchase a 4TB hard drive from WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk instead, then pair it with a USB 3.5" enclosure. Also, a Pi should be decent to host NextCloud, or partially Jellyfin (without transcoding), but not for PhotoPrism (due to one of its functionalities, i.e. facial recognition, requiring a powerful processor).
