“Everytime teh Raspberry Pi is switched off and then on again the machine gets hung up on SPI EEPROM being corrupted. This happens on every reboot.
The Raspberry in it's current state is un-usable. It should not have been made generally available until this issue has been fixed.”
“I've been running OMV on a Pi 3 for just over a year and while it was functional it didn't see much use because it was so slow. USB 2 and the 100mlMb NIC really hurt it as any kind of NAS or media server.
The Pi 4 resolves all outstanding issues and really is the perfect device for network storage. It's cheap as hell and it works great. Paired with OMV and an 8TB USB 3 drive I now have a network storage server that is capable of upto 100MB (yes that's bytes) transfers and the new CPU can easily handle streaming full 1080p content with zero issues, heck it even handles X265 files with no issues at all. Got NGINX running and serving webpages, MINIDNLA for my media streaming, Transmission for downloading files.
This £50 device is capable of doing everything a £500 server would do and is probably the best purchase I've made this year.
My only minor problem is it runs HOT!!! 70°c isn't abnormal. I've ordered some heatsinks which should help and I believe a firmware update is coming to address the heat issues in the future so hopefully it'll get fixed fairly quickly.”
