I would argue about the second one, but you must know what you want to use it for.
Oh really? I was going on most guides saying 32gb SD card recommended and just translated it over to this… Do I need more? I’m planning on using it for ZigBee/Zwave and WiFi devices (replacing my Homey)
The 5020 is a smaller footprint and I believe the newer of the two, but to be honest I didn’t notice any difference in performance. I run 15 Zwave, 10 Zigbee, 5 Lutron, 10 WiFi devices and interface with Blue Iris so I am not a big user.

For reference I only use 8.2 GB of disk on mine.

Thanks for that. Sounds like I’ll go for the 5020 then.
I’ve got probably 3 times those devices but I would imagine that should still be fine. If it’s not then I guess I can always move to a bigger HDD
Personally, I wouldn’t go anywhere smaller than 64GB.
Otherwise, just to understand what is the problem with small installs:
But it is all depends what do you want to keep and discard.
Good to know
In that case, relevant to this thread, has anyone done this?
Thinking of picking up a Kingston SSD and a cheaper Wyse with only 16gb to swap out…
I stuck 120GB $20 SSD in both of mine. A big overkill for my requirements. I have been very happy with them. The 7010 is just setting there should the 5020 fail. One thing they only have DisplayPort for video out so you will need to make sure you can connect to a monitor. I bought a cheap DisplayPort to HDMI adapter on eBay.
Thanks. I have a different pc that only has displaypot so good on that
Did you do the SSD the way they show in the video? Or is there a way to do it without butchering the SSD case? (Thinking warranty)
I bought this sata cable. You can fold it and fit the SSD In nicely. 15+7 Pin SATA HDD Extension Cable Data & Power Male to Female, 11" / 28cm | eBay

Wonder if someone can help me.
I’ve got my Wyse all set up, and new HDD and Ram installed (thanks for the advice above!)
I’ve got Ubuntu loaded from my live USB, but I cannot for the life of me get Balena running… appimages don’t load, and I’m going around in circles trying to get them to… I’ve tried appimagelaunger but it says it depends on Llibappimage0 but it cannot be installed…
Wonder if anyone else has had this with live versions on Ubuntu and if there is a way around it?
EDIT: Solved. This doesn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere but I went into Software and Packages and selected all sources - that seemed to be enough to find fuse to install and get it working… seems a lot of stuff is locked down in the live image

Glad you found a solution. I tried the video solution to verify it works and didn’t have any issues Balena.
Thanks.
Unfortunately hitting more snags accessing my setup right now…
Can’t reach Home Assistant on the network - Installation - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io)
Don’t suppose you had anything similar?!
Sorry I haven’t experienced that problem on a new install. It typically takes just a couple of minutes after the ha > prompt on the Thin Client. I don’t think it is your install. Please post when you find the solution.
Never found the ‘solution’ but it somehow started working! My steps are in that thread in case anyone on this path needs them!

Does your contact still have any for sale?

No he sold them all unfortunately,
I have been using mine for my HA for a while and it runs OK, takes a little while to reboot once you have a few addons running. I ended up moving my HA instance to a ProXMox VM on a Lenovo M720Q (Tiny PC) it has much more horsepower (i5-8400T & 16 GB DDR4 2666) and I like the idea of virtualization. I already have HA, Adguard Home and a Win 10 VM for testing software and I am working on a NAS as well. Even the older Lenovo/Dell tiny PC’s with 4th gen CPU’s do a great job running ProxMox and a few VM’s. It might be worthwhile considering this route. It is super simple to install ProxMox and with a single script you can create a supervised HA VM. I really like being ale to backup the whole VM but even better you can create a snapshot before you do anything major so if all goes south you can be back up and running literally in seconds.
I hate to hijack this post but was curious why I can’t get to Bios on Wyze 5020. I purchase the 5020 new from eBay (still in packaging). When I hit delete during boot up it goes to the VMware page. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?
@JoeTod
I found this on Dell website. You may have Dell Bios and need to hit F2. Try holding down the Delete or F2 key and also try tapping them.
### Accessing BIOS settings
After starting your thin client, you will see a Dell logo for a short time. During this period, press and hold the Delete key or F2 key based on the thin client model.
*** Delete key—Press and hold the Delete key to enter the BIOS settings on the ThinOS clients with Wyse BIOS.**
*** F2 key—Press and hold the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings on the ThinOS clients with Dell Standard BIOS.**
I have not had one with VMware installed. Have you tried holding the Delete key down when powering on? I typically tap delete key immediately when I power it on and have no issues.
