get a JMS578 based USB->sata adapter

I have the original orange pi PC as a NAS and just bought the PC2 to upgrade to GbE

original works fine if you can stand 100mbit

the h3 and h5 work fine

for a NAS

nanopi make a nas dock kit but it's expensive https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=222

+ nanopi neo 2

+ $20 shipping

the hw video encoder in the h5 isn't supported yet but should be in next kernel release

@Magnets Heat is also an issue

Mine was dropping cores because of it

@Magnius which board?

the nanopi?

opi pc

the smaller boards get hotter

are you running armbian?

the stock OS overvolts the CPU IIRC

you need armbian

Had the same happen with armbian

Right now it's working as a dust collector

how long ago did you test it?

i've had my opipc running for 2 years

temps don't go above 35 degrees

Must've been 3 or 4 years ago

it runs 15-20 above ambient

you can downclock the processor, use conservative governor

it only gets hot if you peg the CPU

my pc2 seems to throttle at around 67 degrees, down to 1ghz

orange pi 3 looks good

probably best to wait a couple of weeks for the reviews

you can't order from china anway right now

It's on aliexpress

but chinese new year

the seller looks trustworthy, though it has 312 orders and only 1 review

they only just released it a week ago

the seller is the manufacturer

Oh I see

I'll definitely wait for more review then

the orange pi 3 looks great but it just depends on how well the software works
