I read that thread and noted that only one person actually owns an Atomic Pi. Not sure what he's using it for. I'd like hear from him and get feedback from current owners.
Which energy efficient ARM platform to choose?

I'm not using it as a NAS. It is running Ubuntu 18.04 as well. What kind of feedback are you looking for? The speeds attainable are in that thread and I can verify it is very stable running Ubuntu 18.04.

Have you looked at the Atomic Pi? (Also sold on Amazon.) The price point is good.
but it comes with 2GB RAM only They suggest to look for AAEON UP Board but this comes with 4 GB max.

Thanks for the reply. That's mostly what I was looking for, stable. It's also good to know first hand that it doesn't have throughput problems. Is it running a server function of some kind?

In looking at the market, it seems that 4GB is the upper limit for devices with integrated ram. A sodimm slot would be nice, but costs go up.
An Intel NUC board may be interesting to you. The NUC has options for i3 to i7 with up to 32GB, but you'll pay for it.
A device that has a full breakout board, X86, 64bit, and under $100 USD for both is rare. That's why I'm interested in the Atomic Pi. -

this is true but the UDOO X86 II ULTRA is still cheaper as the cheapest Intel® NUC Boards.

Nothing important. Just a cheap test box. Right now, I am testing pihole on it.

Any opinions about Raspberry Pi 4?

It's good to know that it's stable from first hand experience. It appears, from a you tube gaming test, that it performs well enough.
Thanks for the note. -

NUC's are not cheap. If the goal is a small PC that has more than 4GB and the budget is under $100, the field narrows quickly.

Orange Pi works very well and are cheap...only caveat is they typically run rather warm...so a heatsink/fan and enclosure are HIGHLY recommended...my Orange Pi Zero runs OpenVPN like a boss, and Orange Pi PC in a 3D printed enclosure w/ 1TB laptop harddrive work incredibly stable and with a small fan on top running at 5vdc (practically silent) never get above 35-40C running at performance cpufrequtils and max processor clocking, and my Orange Pi Lite runs my 3D printers with no issues at all

Well so far it's blazingly fast. My Gigabit network is now the bottleneck!

hello All,
I was too fascinated by SBC designs and quite influenced by tkaiser cas for BTRFS. I am currently running 3 setups, 2 based on ALWINNER H5 (ORANGE PI ZERO PLUS and FE NEO2 on NAS enclosure) and one based on NEO4 (connected to some 10 Tb external DD from WD).
AW H5 setups are extremely stable with adequate passive cooling and BTRFS seems to works well enough.
This is different for my NEO4 setup : my PLEX setup fail whether I use Docker or not (and docker volumes are supposed to be friendly to heavy I/O on BTRFS since COW is disabled ans so on).I wonder if using BTRFS on my NEO4 was a good idea, since it is (like all RK3399 hardwares) using an old kernel (4.4.xx) and BTRFS has changed quite a lot since 2016..
Should I go back to EXT4 ?

What fails?
-
It's good to hear that you are happy with RPI4.
Maybe you can check the HELIOS LanTest. -
-
Scanning library (music usually). The process hangs then at some point Linux seems to crash (no longer reachable through the network). When I restart the docker volume seems to be corrupted (docker not able to restart the container).
We'll, I've just installed armbian-config and will try switching kernel..

You should check the logs

I've setup everything again from armbian buster iso (so omv 5 beta).
Lots of quirks to have a properly working omv (network setup should not be done using omv interface otherwise 2 ip adresses) and docker ( config.json is your friend, as is portainer ).
Samba perf is not so bad but irregular and inferior to my x86 setup.
Strangely, while I can copy mkv video files to/from samba shares (60 MB/S), I can't play them directly from the same share (excruciatingly slow..).
Some stability concerns even if cpu temp is less than 60.
We'll, I'm making progress but still lots of things difficult to comprehend..

The OMV install process, using Armbian for OMV5, is being looked at. One of the issues I'm interested in is the inclusion of NetworkManager in Armbian. Using DHCP out of the box, NM works well for wireless interfaces but such considerations are not the highest priority for any device that operates as a server, with wired Ethernet.
OMV5 is still in Beta and it may be awhile, after it comes out of Beta, before SBC support is ready. If you want something now, consider the SBC images available for OMV4.
