Hi,
What do you think of the Radxa Rock 5B? I'm searching for a 4 bay system as power efficient as possible. That board has an M.2 slot which is supposed to be 4 lanes pcie 3.0.
Do you think it could be possible to add an m.2 to ssd adapter like the Binardat https://www.amazon.com/Binarda…es-Windows/dp/B0CN9BY7SF/ with decent performance?
It has a 2.5Gb network, I'd be happy with anything above the 1Gb (network) limit.
Thanks Adoby, I haven’t been able to find good performance arm hardware, my top at the moment is the RockPro64 from pine64. Actually I’m not even sure if that one is a good option or what else is available.
What’s the ideal ratio between power consumption and performance?
I have a nanopim4 with quad sata hat and an RPi4 with quad sata hat (rockpi). The nano pi m4 four drives are connected via 2 lanes of pci-e. The RPi4 is sharing one usb3 bus. From my tests, the nano pi m4 is better
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.
I’m not an expert, but it seems like the nanopi uses a pcie bus as the sata channel, same as de rpi.
There are sata hats available for both, but I have been unable to find the differences between them.
I have only found that the rpi4 has 4 pcie lanes, and the nanopi has one (gpio). but not sure, my google-fu is weak
What about the sata/usb speed, for example, comparing the raspberry pi 4 vs the nanopi m4? For example when using a sata hat with 2 2.5 hdd?
Asking because I have a rpi4 doing nothing but not sure if I should get a sata hat for it or just get a nanopi m4 with a similar hat...
Thanks!
This is awesome, thanks kirkdis!!
I’d like to try this. Do you think it make sense to go with the M4V2? I’m not sure if the extra money will result in an improvement of the speed.
Thanks a lot!, I’d check it out and reevaluate.
Hi,
I’m planning on building my first nas. After a bit of research, it seems that the odroid hc-1 is a good low power consumption option with good performance.
However all the guides that I have seen so far describe using only one odroid, which leaves redundancy out of the equation. I’d ideally like to have sone kind of redundancy. Is the odroid not a good choice in this case?
The features i’m looking for (in priority order) are:
- low power
- redundancy
- cheap
Thanks!
