I want to build my own cloud with Raspberry Pi, but I don’t know which hardware to buy.

Will it be enough if I buy a Raspberry Pi 5 and two SSDs?

    Raspberry pi’s are decent budget starters, but each one will only really do one thing, and not well.

    Honestly, you’re better off going with someone ‘s old pc.

        umm if you dont have room for a computer or its fan noise then maybe youre not in a position to build your own on site cloud service.

          A pi to host an SSD and run a plex server would take up as much space as two pair of socks in a sock drawer…

          Just depends on what “hosting an on site cloud” means. If it’s just backup storage and a local-only Plex server for one or two tvs, you could get away with the socks ;)
