“Excellent SBC. It's my first Pi and I've set it up as a home NAS. I'm so delighted there is a plethora of support online.
The Pi and ancillaries I ordered were delivered quicker than I anticipated. Thank you. I have no problem with recommending The Pi Hut to others”
“Really good performance - running a plex media server, pihole DNS server, and a wireguard access server. Using the Argon One case, barely heats up, CPU and RAM barely under much load. It's a good idea to increase the swap space on the drive; as the 100MB it has by default fills up quite easily.”
“Excellent single-board computer (SBC). You obviously need the 64-bit version of Raspberry OS (nee Raspbian) to take full advantage of the extra memory but even though it's " beta" it appears very solid. The latest firmware has boot from USB functionality so I've abandoned using a micro-SD card in favour of an old SSD coupled with a USB3 adapter. If you need a USB3 adapter make sure you get one supporting UASP (USB attached SCSI protocol) which delivers far higher I/O. I'm looking at 170Mbps instead of a microSD card's 40Mbps. Plus you don't need to worry about wear on the SSD. Good for server applications.

“I bought this thinking it would work well with the 64bit Raspian beta but it actually performs better with 32bit Raspbian. I'm not upset though, 64bit Raspian is going to be developed and refined and eventually the 8GB will be more useful.”
“Delivered promptly and works very well. Probably don't really need the 8GB version but what the hell I wanted it. Looking forward to the full release of the 64bit OS but the beta version has not caused me any issues so far!”
