Phil, The hardware requirements are driven by the nature of the dataflow you are developing. If you're looking to play around with NiFi and gain some hands-on experience, go for a 4 core 8GB RAM i.e. any modern laptops/computer would do the job. In my case, where I'm having 100s of dataflows, I have it clustered with 3 nodes. Each having 16GB RAM and 4(8) cores. I went with SSDs of smaller size because my flows are involved in writing to object stores like Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob and Amazon S3 and NoSQL DBs. Hope this helps.
