AMD ones exist, but are more expensive: https://www.loksing.com.cn/products/pre-sale-amd-ryzen-r5-56...
The domain does not resolve for me.
Word of caution to anyone thinking of using this for pfsense: the realtek 2.5G drivers are not included in the pfsense image and have to be installed manually. A real pain if you don't have easy access to another freebsd machine.
In my experience Realtek network cards often leave a lot to be desired when used in a routing / firewalling / always on environment. I specifically make sure NICs are Intel based when configuring systems.

Really? My Pi managed to corrupt two 128gb cards in 2 years or so. It absolutely happens. I was running light web apps with less than 10 users, hence minimal writes, especially for cards this big
I run a couple Raspberry Pi 2s and they average about 1 SD card a year between them.

Funny you ask! I just edited this in, realizing it was relevant. It's quite odd, this is with Fedora -- the current/latest release for about the past year (34 through 36). It's seen quite a healthy number of 5.x kernels, but every time I try to go without I reluctantly have to build it again It'll work fine, for a time, but when I really put stress on that link it'll drop Edit: This is trained at multi-gig too -- goi…
You can use dkms to automatically compile your out of kernel driver for you whenever you install a new kernel.
When I say build it, I really mean allow dkms to function

I don't really understand why that means the Odroid-H3 is a "tough sell", though. It's quite a bit cheaper than both of the boards mentioned in that review, even after you add a case and power supply.
I've found several 4-port N5105 systems (which are barebones, so BYO DDR4 and NVMe at about $100 add'l for 2x8GB and 512GB) for around $145 [1] shipped on Aliexpress. I also found a Core i3-1115G4 based one for $195 shipped [2], which I've personally decided to order. The i3-1115G4 is nearly twice as fast as the N5105 [3] and this is the first I've seen something with it available for less than $300. The iGPU is exce…

Since Aliexpress, based on what I read, ships from China, the Hardkernel shop is a valid comparison; in the Hardkernel website:
https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h3/
129$ + case - 2 ethernet, and 175$, are in the same ballpark.
Note that the H* don't need any extra cooling. The heatsink provided is enough (I've wasted money on a fan that ended up never spinning).

The cases offer great options, i just wish they also had a pricier case that doesn't look like crap.
H3 case looks good to me. https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h3-case-type-2/
Nothing to complain - one builds them (hopefully) once in years.
I hope though, that they corrected the flaws; the design of the case supporting two 2.5" disks was severely flawed, since there was no space for the connectors, and one had to let them partially hang outside the box. It was also surprisingly awkard to build.
