It handles 100Mbps transfers just fine
You dont even have to worry, literally 1 GB RAM and weak chink ARM Allwinner CPU
if i made a similar spec intel nuc, it would cost me €98/$116 usd more. not factoring in win 10 cost which my pc ships with.
seems like a pretty nice setup
Well I am upgrading now. THe reason for this is simple thoo. The HDD makes noise
So I decided a cheap shit device with the HDD offsite from where I sleep is a good idea, while my main stuff can stay in my bedroom since SSD.
but tbh this is the first time I am buying chink mini PC server
I heard the BIOS has no documentation so far and its hard to get Linux running
oh boy this gonna be F U N
oh boy
so beware
But it will run, just its chink BIOS
mine has an apollo lake j4005, 6gb ram, 128gb ssd and a 2.5" disk slot if needed. $226 usd.
there is a difference between American Megatrends and chink BIOS with a million options
if it has documentation it will probably be in chink
nah they have mostly English customers
they are just using up so much time actually making the product since they fucked up
they blew up the delivery schedule by far as they didnt realize how advanced their PC became
already made one, which was much simpler, you see.
sounds nice @Absolute Kubica I cant get so cheap stuff.
used chink shit is absolute worst though
I remember anon getting a mobo from chinkland that had CORRODED == RUST on it
😬 would never order a mobo from their tbh.
so what would you get from chinkland
smartphones. they're near enough guaranteed to work. maybe a laptop too.
I thought you talked about that PC you got but from china, saying you didnt want to wait for it to be shipped
@Dietrich your orangepc still needs 12v for the hdd, right?
Yeah, of course. that said for an ARM device the Orange Pi is king, it can power a Raspberry Pi from its USB since it has a superior DC-IN power I actually supply 2A to it if need be.
But if you use a 2TB 2.5" HDD you can power it from the Orange Pi
yes. but that's different as it's one device and not a single component by itself. i'll just send the pc back to their poland warehouse if it doesn't work.
or SSD, similar.
As it has sufficient power over HDD
I need external power because its a big hDD
@Dietrich does it have gpio p9ns?
ah shit you bought better shit than me I see, I didnt know these existed.
And retard proof manuals for setting up a remote server?
This is the thing about Allwinner, since its a tablet SoC
If you get the H3 one in Orange PI PC, it does not have native SATA
You are going to feed it with external controller and USB
Older SoC actually has a native SATA port, some have fake SATA-to-USB so beware
