There are many SBCs that are technically better than the Pi, but the problem is always the long term support, and software offerings.
@dkryptonut Ай бұрын
This. The Pi's draw isn't the hardware, it's the ecosystem.
@christianlempa Ай бұрын
That's a good point! I probably mention it in my Kubernetes Cluster video, using RPIs, as it was part of my decision making about support, number of accessories, etc.

Yes so many comparisons get it wrong. Yes you can buy $150 n100 mini PC and put a gpio board on it, but can you imagine dealing with that and Windows rather than just flashing an image to an SD and being done? " but it has more power" So does every other computer in my house so what

Why do you claim that mdadm is oudated? I know there are newer solutions like ZFS for hosts dedicated specifically for storage, or file systems like btrfs that have their partial RAID implementation. But are there better solutions for RAID on general purpose hosts/servers that are not memory-intensive? Just because mdadm is old doesn't mean it is deprecated, rather it makes it a mature technology ready for production.

My biggest issues with the Blade are: 1) Only 1 USB port (that is practically accessible, they have 2 connectors below the pcie connector but not practical to use.) 2) the heat generated. It gets too hot to touch if you just boot up a random GUI Linux distro. 3) The mini DP port should have just been a USB-C. Technically you can use the power USB-C port for other things with power passthrough but because it requires 12V it is incompatible with most docs.

The looks reminded me of my walkman back in the day. :) Kinda cool, but like you mention, not very interesting compared to the previous version and looking cool doesn't really matter anyway. I'd rather pick the old one or A Raspberry with way more support behind it.

"Honest and humble opinion" Got it. You forgot to wink. Great review though. I still do not understand why Raspberry pi does not come with better options. Such as dual ethernet port, or modular ram and so on.

I would love to see a raspberry pi or similar that come with an m.2 slot. I've had a few raspberry pi's, but I feel the SD-cards are such a crappy and unstable medium. I've had several crashes because of it. I know that pi can boot from USB as well, but this mean that I will need to have an external device. I want it all in one nice case. If anyone know of such an option, let me know.
@pdx2240 Ай бұрын
I know its not perfect, but I use the "Samsung FIT Plus" as my node-discs in my raspberry pi cluster. The performance is good enough compared to how simple the solution is, and way better than sd-cards.

@Andy-fd5fg Ай бұрын
@@Zedris there are a number of "HATs" out here now with m.2 slots on... so you can put it in your own case. There are also a few HATs with a PCIe switch chip and two m.2 slots. @JeffGeerling has some videos on these. Hopefully when the Pi6 comes along (Probably in 2 or 3 years time) it will have a few more PCIe lanes to play with... 4 sounds good, on an oclink connector.

It's a huge "naw...", and I don't know why you agree to do these Sponsored videos when they're not even paying you. Well, that's not actually true though, because you ARE getting paid through those affiliate links, and so you're not being completely honest with us. However, if you don't personally have a use case for this product, and are going to produce a tutorial and how you set yours up, then I would tell them, "No thanks. I'm not your puppet". Otherwise, you're just a sellout, and a part of the toxic mess that KZfaq is becoming.
