I bought m2 to 5x SATA adapter to my Orange Pi 5 Plus and made a NAS with 5x HDD - super nice and low power home NAS

can you put a link to the adapter? thanks

Thank you for this video, which I've been looking forward to.

great video.....ill stick to pis tho myself......this process is too much of a pain compared to a pi and it does not need to be, but this is why we buy pis......most others do everything half assed.

Love the way Orange Pi 5 can handle video so much better than Raspberry Pi. 4k is hopeless on Raspberry pi 5 at 4k.

Think it interesting that they used the "S" variant of the chip with the faster LPDDR5. The S variant lowers the PCIe spec in both generation AND lanes out to the NVMe. Seems that the best combination would actually be to put LPDDR5 memory down on their Plus model as the RK3588 is compatible with LPDDR4, LPDDR4X, and LPDDR5!!! This just seems like an odd combination for them to come out with.

oh man, I had a terrible experience with the Orange Pi Droid OS. Everything was clunky and slow. The regular Android OS was much better for me. Thanks for the video!

the only android version support 120hz screen is older version android on SD card , 1.02 i belive, all orther version ( for sd card, nvme, ssd ) only 60hz , so i'm stuck with that old version ony sd card for now coz i need 120hz.

I was so hype to get one myself what ended to push me away, is the emmc and no spi flash module or an option to buy one with 1 spi soldered on. i can do it myself just don't want to risk it. overall the device seems to be fine on an emmc. but once u taste the nvme on a rasp 5 .. hard to go back on sd card to be fair. !! neat video. cheer.

Another great video 👍Thanks.

Ohhh - so it's like all the power of an Orange Pi 5 (RK3588S) except raspberry pi sized. Very cool. By the way - looks like there's a dedicated fan connection to the left side of the GPIO. Probably requires a male micro JST.

On the verge of buying a Banana pi 5, either Plus or Pro. With this spi thing would you recommend a Pro, with emmc or a Plus with an nvme? I tend to lean to the latter, overall clock and ram speed aren't that important to me (until you miss it of course ;-), but nvme ootb sounds appealing. Also, 2 nic's on the Plus.

Can you test wuthering waves on this pi?I hope you can do it soon.

if you or someone can clear this for me? theres no spi, but if emmc module is installed it can be loaded with usb and it boots from emmc? also it can/will boot from sdcard by default? nvme is usable but not as boot drive? or not usable at all?

would love to see llama.cpp benchmark of this board vs the ddr4 predecessor as llm speed is mostly ram speed bottlenecked. if this is 2x memory bandwith it might do 2x faster token generation

Interesting to see this. But why would I get one of these instead of a Raspberry Pi?

In all honesty - you wouldn't. There is more to a system then specifications _and even computation speed,_ the reason I picked the Raspberry Pi 5 over any of its alternatives (in fact, I use it as my main system at home) is the software-support, how well rounded it is,… it just gives you much less headache when it comes to trouble-shooting. In short: The RPi is slower, but it works better. I had different “pies” in the past, and always regretted it sooner or later. So, if you want a better supported system, go Raspberry.

@zyghom

@@mediocreman6323 please define "better". If your only goal is "how many different flavours you can install on this board" then yes, RPi is "better". But apart from such "use case" some people use SBC for more serious cases (i.e. NAS, router etc.) - OPi5Plus has 2x 2.5Gbps NICs - add to it OpenWRT and you have perfect router. Or NAS. RPi from the very beginning was for "schools" - not for serious use. But both: RPi and Opi5 can be used for many things - if you need performance and Debian or Ubuntu or Arch are ok, you take Opi5 and you are done. Move OS to eMMc or NVMe and you have a beast.

It's faster than the pi5 but not 5X. Sadly, unless you want to run Android, you're better off with the Pi5.

nvme works with the emmc or the spi flash. You need one or the other to boot.

I need an idiot proof tutorial about booting from nvme, preferably using emmc vs spi (I fear soldering). I am trying to add a pro to my kubernetes cluster, (along with various pis and jetson nano, etc) so ideally it would be a linux demo (ubuntu or debian).

Can you fit it into a Raspad 3? I am thinking about getting one and would like to know if I can use it with different boards.

I am desperate to figure out how to boot to any linux distro from nvme on my new Pro. It is not clear to me if I can do it from emmc. I dont have emmc or spi. The emmc can be ordered off amazon, but digikey does not even have the spi flash card and I don't want to solder anyway. I'm OK having the boot sector on the sdcard or emmc and then rest of OS on the nvme. I deally, I could buy the emmc, pop it in, have the boot sector there, then have it load the rest from the nvme and have the user partition there too. I want to add this Pro to my kubernetes cluster.

It’s easier with the Orange Pi 5 plus. If you want nvme at al, it appears you need to solder the spi. EMMC works fine with the dedicated one. Windows on R uses uefi boot from an sd card.

I'm using this for a diverse vm plus sbc kubernetes cluster demo so I wont be booting that much anyway, I mainly want faster iops. They used some strange terminology for the sdcard and for some other stuff. The spi flasher app is misnamed, it works on the SDcard as well.

Smaller, faster, Smoother, same old underdeveloped software. Orangepi are only box shifters where real software development is left to the community. The requirement to solder an SPI chip in order to use the M.2 is idiotic any more of an indication of amateur rather than pro.

I bought the Orange Pi 5, not 5B, last year. I say this because in order to get Internet, I have to plug directly into Ethernet. The 5 allows you to insert a wifi card into the m.2 slot, and this works ... If you exclusively use their Orange Pi OS. If you try to use their boards for literally any other distro, you can't interact with the drivers or m.2 slot. I bought their officially-licensed m.2 wifi card, direct from the Orange Pi Amazon storefront, and their own board just isn't set up to recognize the damn thing outside of a single use-case. Orange Pi: "you're just happy you got anything to work on it, otherwise you'd have to consider mailing it back"

you erned your like , becuse you not siad the raspberry destroyer and other s. SO BIG PLUS

the fact that you can use either SPI or eMMc is BS - this Pro version is worse then Plus

Good to see that they are finally putting LPDDR5 RAM Give me 5 Probably is most interesting to do some memory speed comparisons vs else Rk3588 who are on 4/x. Although... On Plus there are 2 LPDDR4X chips, which suggests dual channel operation. On this PRO, there seems to be only 1 LPDDR5 chip, which suggests single channel.? Sounds like this combo will ate a lot of perf from a GPU... if really is single, then that sounds like faster on paper, but in reality will be slower than Plus... Trick sounds good for temperatures and idling wattages on a smaller board, but likely eat some perf, so...
