If you're running Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi or planning to, it's crucial to know that using a regular SD card may lead to its quick wear out. This happens because Home Assistant frequently writes data, which can degrade SD cards rapidly. To avoid this issue, consider using a more durable solid-state drive (SSD), like those found in laptops. This guide will be divided into two parts. First, we'll cover the process for a Raspberry Pi 4, which is straightforward and also applicable to the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. If you have an older Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (without the plus), the process will be a bit more involved, and we'll go through that next. In both cases, you'll need an appropriate SSD. Typically, Home Assistant doesn't require much space unless you plan to use it for media streaming. A 64GB SSD is usually sufficient, but for this guide, I'll use a 120GB Transcend M2 SATA SSD. I'll link to this in the description. Choosing the Righ
