This might be old news and off the Raspberry 5 topic. I have been looking at the Zimma Board for a SBC to mess with.
I have a couple of OrangePi3 LTS boards and I could bring one to compare with the RPi5
It is a different type of board for a different use case. I am mostly focused on the performance and SATA port(s). I do not like burning out SD cards.
How well would this board work to use to build a home ceph cluster? I used to think I wanted to get a bunch of Odriod H2 with the SATA ports and setup my own distributed filesystem.
1) open media vault 2 drive NAS
2) Low end (low power, low budget) web page server
3) pihole with a firewall (x86 build)
I tried doing this myself once, but in a VM and it was terrible. They are *so* tied into the RPi for setup and install that it's not funny. John
