“Still amazing, especially for the price. Using it as a home backup server with a 1Tb SSD, Ubuntu 23.04, and LVM. Silent operation, with only a few watts of power draw. Replaced an x86 machine with 10x the power draw.”
“Working perfectly without any problems. Tons of instructions available. Works perfectly with cameras and displays. Powerful enough to work as NAS, servers and other DIY projects!”
“What a fantastic bit of tech for the price. I’ve turned mine into a CCTV server with Shinobi running locally and 24fps 1080p with movement / shape detection it’s only using 20% CPU and running at 45degrees *admittedly did get a fancy metal case with a great little tower cooler, but the fan barely ever has to come on as it’s set to do so at 60C. Very happy to have it running 24/7 with a very negligible increase on my electric bill.
Easy to setup, the Raspberry Pi OS changes are a bit more of a hurdle than they used to be, however the increased security and efficiency is definitely worth it.
Brilliant.”
