I run my system on a Pi4 (4GB) and boot directly to a 250GB spinning Pidrive.

I like how fast everything runs.  Is it overkill for running a BBS?  Of course it is.  I may in time get another Pi4 with less RAM to run the board on a repurpose the 4GB one for something else.  But for now it does the job with no hiccups.  (I use BBSLink for my doors, super easy to set up and you get the added bonus of being able to play with others).

I could probably get away with running everything on a 3B with USB booting but I had the same reservations about that one-way trip.
