“First one failed after a few days with a message "stating usb overcurrent". Raise ram with the PI hut, swift response. Send original back. Got the replacement about a week later. This one is working fine. For me the 8gb overcomes issues with running web pages. I had a 2gb PI 4 and it just could not cope. PI 4 is a lot easier to power than the PI5 when using it out and about. Runs fine from a power bank.”
“Excellent wee computer.
It's for use on a boat, so I chose the Pi 4 over Pi 5, because it's uses less watts.
The performance is excellent for my needs, although I'm sure the 5 is even quicker
I used an SD card that I had kicking around at first, and everything was hesitant & laggy. Bought a much quicker SD card(140 mb/s, not very expensive) and suddenly everything ran really well. Lesson learnt.”
“I am sure that many, many people have reviewed Raspberry Pi 4 but The Pi Hut asked me to provide a review so, in a nut shell: it's great. The Pi Hut delivered the unit incredibly promptly, as always, and I'm using it to run Zone Minder. The RPi 4 is a lot more powerful than the RPi 3 and I needed the extra welly of the 4, and its USB 3 port, but felt the RPi 5 was more processing power than necessary for my application. I'm using a passive heatsink as I didn't want the noise of a fan 24/7 and the system is rock-solid.”
