Powerful CPU, built-in wireless, great.
For a NAS the drawbacks are still the lack of SATA and USB2.0-based 100mb LAN, no?

Would like to see:
USB 3.0
Gigabit LAN
SATA
RTC

With RTC I would not care if you had to pay extra for a battery attachment but the chip to do this should be built in.

odroid-c2 is still better than RPi3. RPi3 ethernet is still connected to usb. RTC is on C2 but not RPi3.

Need an xu4 if you want usb3 which is fast enough to eliminate need for sata.

I agree.. I know they can't put everything on it because of price point. But I wish they had more expensive version that had more features. The community is huge for the RPi. I will get an Odroid.

BTW, my Pogoplug v4 died.... Was perfect WOL device for my other machines but I have had the RPi 2 there for some time.

I pre-ordered the Odroid-C2 yesterday so hope to get that next month. Double the ram and a bit faster than the C1. Plus an extra video core. Should be a nice upgrade.

If you want SATA then check out the Banana pi pro - http://www.lemaker.org/product-bananapro-specification.html although its not as powerful as a C1 it does have SATA so may be better for OMV. Its about $45 at http://ameridroid.com/t/lemaker

It would be nice to have a fast SSD connected as I bet it would seem a LOT faster.

RPI 3 comes with Wifi and Bluetooth.
I"m thinking to buy one to play with OMV.
Anybody in here have good result with RPI?

Hi Guys,

I think that Orange Pi Plus 2 its a little more expensive but excellent for OMV.

I have to agree that the Orange Pi packs better specs for a little bit more. Here in Germany you can get it for ~48€ and it supports Debian out of the box, and it seems to be compatible with the Raspberry pi images.

ryecoaaron · 14. März 2016

The RPi3 will be compatible with the RPi images once I get my RPi3 and update the images. It just needs a newer kernel.

Keep in mind that the RPi3 still only has a single USB Host and that the Network speeds will remain on the same level as with the RPi2.

I was looking at the C2. It does not have RTC like the C1. I wonder why they made that change. There was something else with the C1s that you did not like. What was that???

davidh2k · 20. März 2016

The original C1 lacks proper CEC Support (there is a hardware problem which requires soldering). Only relevant if you want to use the C1 as a Media Center, the C1+ has this fixed in hardware. C2 on the other hand is based on one of the first 4K/60Hz support which is already known to have trouble with 10bit media - which is supposed to have a wider usage compared to 1080p material.
