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?

With raspberry pi prices and availability issues - I think the concensus in selfhosted community is to prefer a thin client, which would provide better performance, while being more reliable, and only slightly more power hungry

Actually you are right. I can buy a cheap or second hand laptop and install Nextcloud.

I know there are a lot of pi competitors that have some pretty good offerings.
