“Great little unit - bought a few of the 8GB spec to make a Docker swarm to host some home network components including Pi-hole, OpenVPN, Nginx and Let's Encrypt. Good for personal interest, and for adding to my work capabilities.”
“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.
