In theory an ssd through usb 3.0 should be capable of 300Mb/s. The sd slot on a pi theoretically tops out at circa 60Mb/s (take both these with a pinch of salt)
So the processing is always done from the state machine in memory which in my tests run about 58% faster on pi4 vs pi3
Booting (at the moment) will always be via the sd (even if just used as a boot loader, though that ‘should’ change soonish (6 months maybe) )
So the major benefits will be : -
Increased RAM (you know if you’ve bought a 4GB version)
Reloading automations and scripts (which also helps in the start of HA as well)
Configuration checks
Durability as discussed
The most noticeable in regular use though will be the serving of Web pages (your UI experience will become a LOT slicker).
Losing a USB port ??? You have 4 ? Say you have z wave, zigbee and the ssd, you still have a spare
People can use MQTT in different ways, over ethernet, over zigbee, to z wave (z wave protocol is proprietary so I think this is just to the hub) but none of those options require another port.
Though someone is bound to surprise me at some point.
I would like to install **Mosquitto MQTT**

Sure this does not concern USB port
I will follow the advice of moving to SSD once my HomeAssistant will be ready to work and once I’ll find a USB3-sata connector for it
That Shinestar adapater that i linked in the guide works pretty good. Been rock solid for a few month now without issues. It was recommended on some rpi forum, thats how i learned about it.
Actually the last version is 2020-05-27
I know that it does not changes much from the previous release but it seems to me that the following script does not work
