A little bit off topic, but so I don't have to make a new thread, my Odroid C2 arrived today! @HalfEatenPie @willie @wlanboy Thought I would share some pics :D This thing is TINY compared to a Raspberry Pi 2 or even a Banana Pi, maybe 2/3 the size if that.  Used a mini Bic for...

Quick correction; The SYBA JMB393 is actually self-contained storage processor chip which completely frees up the main CPU loading, and is not software raid based.  It can be used as a port multiplier or a RAID card based on the configuration you used for it.  I currently use it as a raid5...

I am a little bit jealous,  I'll admit, part of my reasoning for getting the Odroid is because the RaspberryPi 3 was on back order by the time I got around to it.  I was being a bit impatient.  However, I do still have plans to get one here, just not the initial batch I guess :p Let us know...

@HalfEatenPie For me the server runs SAMBA and NFS and I actually attach it to another storage server I have which runs a minidlna instance to provide video content over UPNP/DLNA to my BananaPi which I use on an older 27" CRT in my office to watch videos on while I work.  I have a 32" LCD...

@HalfEatenPie @drmike @KuJoe I blame you all for my purchase of an Odroid-C2 this morning :D I just couldn't resist, I sat choosing between the new Pi3 and the Odroid-C2 and figured I hadn't played with an Odroid product yet and wants to feel the power of the Quad core 2Ghz, so I bought...

This is not true at all.  I run a rather reliable NAS server with a A20 (2x1Ghz, 1Gb ram, Gigabit nic). I ordered one of the pcDunio Nano's that were $15, a ~$55 SYBA SATA PM/Raid card (JMB393) (Check Newegg), then using an old case from a old celeron with a 180watt power supply I wired up 5x2TB...

The only SoC's I know that have a true SATA port will be ones created by Marvell (which I believe were links to in a past thread) which are often a lot more expensive (~$100+) but have true SATA and supposedly performance is even better than the A20 because of their chipset.  The other option is...

sysctl configurations do not work on OpenVZ as it is not true virtualization, it is a container with a chrooted environment.  As such, all of these configurations are handled by the kernel on the hostnode, making changes inside your openvz vps is not possible because you have no kernel access...

Cheers!

This is a quick review, sure I could have made its own thread, but I don't think its needed, this is an honest review of my use of their services and I am leaving it here to give people an idea of what they can expect with this group: I have to admit, this group has had a really rocky start...

I want to be excited for you, but the people doing the real work to get these boards mainstream is http://linux-sunxi.org They are the ones who are working to get it so you can run something other than the old 3.x linux versions with an old outdated kernel.  If you want to know where to find the...

It it called big.LITTLE Technology Cheers!

USB devices will be limited by the USB 2.0 bus on the system.  Therefore, the max speed you will see read/write with any USB device should be around 30M/sec. This is why SATA is so much faster on the A20 as it isn't attached to the USB hub as a USB device, but is a true SATA controller which...

Sillicon Power Elite series 16Gb SD card with advertised 85M/sec read are pretty freaking nice.  I use one in my BananaPi M1 that I use with Android (on SDCard) as a media center. They had these on sale on Newegg as well a bit back in a 3 pack for a really good price, though I think that has...

You can run Android from the SDcard also, its just a bit of a pain in the ass because if you don't setup your image correctly or use a small card you don't end up with much room for app installation. For anyone who has an A10 device I actually spent time and built a bunch of Android SDcard...

In my experience they have more often ran out of IP addresses than actual servers.  In cases where no IP address is available, you can change to use a local IP and it should let you generate the server.  Now this can be annoying unless you already have another server with them as otherwise you...

Nand is inherently slower than even a MicroSD card (well a good one).  Nand usually does read/writes up to 16M/sec while on good SDcards you can see up to 30M/sec read performance. If you need IO speed then the best bet is to use an A20 device which comes with a true SATA controller.  Now...

Low power consumption, able to run at higher ambient heat than most standard chips, can be used in industrial use cases (you can actually order industrial versions which can sustain quite a vast range of operating temperatures)which means lower cooling costs and all adds up to lower cost of...
