Home Assisant Server hardware recomendations

The hardware that you should look at for running hope assistant depends greatly on your plans and requirements

Home Assistant Green

This is a great product if you are just starting out and want to learn. It allows you to jump in without alot of complicated setup.

It is however limited as it is a very low poer and low performence hardwaree. If you are looking to run alot of addons (an addon is not an integration) to run addition services then you will find the green will get bogged down

There's no question that many people successfully run SBCs and are happy with them but here's some of my biased reasons why I don't recommend ARM based SBCs like the pi, HA Green, HA Yellow, HA Blue, etc for running servers.

They have a poor price performance ratio
Some need a powered USB hub if you want to reliably use their USB ports, for example for a external SSD [2]
Their internal storage sucks [1]. SD cards corrupt easily
USB boot can be finicky and likely has to be configured:

You need a HDMI adapter or USB C cable and a serial software to debug some of them
You can only run specialized distros on them and hence can't easily boot just any live iso to troubleshoot or test something [3]
You're limited in what you can run (ARM) and debugging tends to be harder
