A NVMe compatible M.2 M Key connector (like the Rock 5 Model B [0] has) would have been really nice. I'm starting to accumulate old but good, yet small in storage space terms NVMe's which I'm no longer needing, but which would be perfect for a Raspi. Even if the PCIe bus were an older generation and not as performant as the NVMe. The microSD card slot is really great to have, to get up-and-running, but once it's clea…

Fwiw I bought a sleeve for my M.2 SSD and it plugs into usb3 with very little slowdown. It gets 500MiB read and 1.2GiB write. Haven’t measured vs native M.2 to compare, but it’s fast enough that I’d be surprised if the pi were blocked waiting for I/O vs native M.2. And native M.2 comes with increased manufacturing complexity.

No word on price. When Raspberry Pi first launched, this was the prime feature of the thing. Can we expect same price as the Raspberry Pi 4? (at the respective RAM level) Edit: found it here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/introducing-raspberry-pi-5/ So the 4 GB model is 60$, which is 5$ more than the 4 GB model of the Raspberry 4 when that was launched: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-4-on-sale-now-.…

$60 for the model with 4GB of RAM and $80 for 8GB. It's mentioned in Eben Upton's blog post (linked from the announcement): https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/introducing-raspberry-pi-5/

Sure, if you want the raw board and nothing else. I spent $100 for a starter kit that had an enclosure and some heat sinks. It came with a controller for a retropi installation too which was a nice touch.

You’re aware that ‘they, the fruit sellers’ isn't very distinctive in this context?

Nice to see a new generation but frankly a little underwhelmed. I’d rather spend more for an orange pi plus. Different price class but worth it here. Integrated M2, 16gb ram, newer processor node, and much higher scores on benchmarks

There's also a writeup: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/testing-pcie-on-raspb...

And a bunch more test data: https://github.com/geerlingguy/sbc-reviews/issues/21 (includes some notes on power consumption, etc.)

I wish you could add Syncthing Hashrate. It's logged on startup.

Single thread SHA256 performance is 64 MB/s using crypto/sha256 (64 MB/s using minio/sha256-simd). Hashing performance is 56.63 MB/s

Thats on Raspberry Pi 400.

Hmm. I'm disappointed honestly, I was looking forward to USB-C with display port and "normal" USB-C power. Is there any reasonable option with software support that comes even close to what RPI offers? I don't want an SBC where I have to use some strange back ported, super old, kernel with little to no chance of getting updates. Maybe I should just go for an X86 board? Lattepanda Delta, or Khadas Mind whenever that's…

You could also get a framework laptop mainboard with a case: https://frame.work/products/cooler-master-mainboard-case

TBH the thing I hate most about this category of SBC is the reliance on SD cards. They are both too unreliable to trust and so slow that they often bottleneck the SBC. Buying them is often a crap shoot too, I've purchased cards batches of cards from the supposed reputable manufacturers that were all over the board when benchmarked, and rarely did they hit the claimed speed spec. I would love if there was an alternati…

Agreed. I recently had the rather unpleasant discovery that when samsung called their SD cards “high endurance”, they actually meant 3-6 months, and that half of the video on my dashcam was missing.

Why aren’t you talking more about the GPU?

Rasbperry Pis are losing their competitive edge for non-embedded applications to sub $150 mini PCs, which support Linux/Windows and will come with enclosure, NVMe slot, power button etc. The mini PCs are also generally much faster.

psst https://rpilocator.com/

not much of use for the last three years.

This was used exactly for the last three years so you could get an alert when it became available.

Before that there was no need for a locator, just buy from whatever eshop, everyone had it in stock and at MSRP.

anyone could tell me how did you use raspberry pi?

I used for some years a raspberry pi 2b as a media player with kodi. Then a bit as octoprint server to control a 3D printer.

I will explore a way to use a RP4 or now RP5 for a local NAS that would be extensible and that could run more services and yool that my current QNAP TS-28A but I'm not very confident I will follow
