Still looking for a NUC sized device with dual 10G NICs capable of running ESXi. Would be a nice config for the next homelab.

Specifically, here's their review of a couple of N5105 based ones (which are probably the most sensible choice for most applications). [1][2] TLDR: KingNovy and Topton from AliExpress are pretty good and going barebones is a better deal. 1: https://www.servethehome.com/two-fanless-intel-celeron-n5105-4x-2-5gbe-options-reviewed/ 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUuaAPG0PxU

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 excellent for the price point too [4].

So comparing the N5105 system linked vs the Odroid-H3+, you save about $40 AND get a case with enough thermal mass to passively cool it AND two more 2.5Gbe ports.

I haven't seen a corrupted SD card on an SBC in, well since at least 2015. I guess it's possible under heavy read/write but I've not experienced it and I tinker with the stuff at least a couple times a year.

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

Yes. I buy my SD cards from B&H to try and minimize chances of getting counterfit product. I have never had a corrupted card that I can recall, and I just unplug them.

The Jasper chip should be able to be used with hypervisors as it has VT-x and VT-d. Wish they listed the chipset for the Ethernet however, as VMware 7.x/8.x only supports a limited number (unlike 6.x which allowed community drivers). You might be able to host a handful of small low IO/CPU VMs on this. EDIT: Found the block diagram and these are Realtek RTL8125B. Not compatible with ESXi 7/8.. can use under 6.7 but I…

I bought one of these to play with xcp-ng, but I didn’t do enough research or I’d have known that there’s problems with jasper lake, and they won’t have a working release till end of year.

Nice to see a successor to the H2/H2+ finally. > Power consumption: IDLE : ≃1.9W Better idle power than a Raspberry Pi 4 plus it has functioning suspend modes.

I really wish this supported being driven over 12V, though. Starting at 14 makes it suboptimal for several scenarios I'd have considered it for.

As others have pointed out, the value prop of these boards is running thin. STH covers a bunch of similar products, and this is a tough sell at $165. You can find many similar jasper lake router boards with 4x 2.5 Gbe in a similar price range, but they'll come in a proper case with a power supply.

Topton isn't shipping though. Latest order we made was 2months ago and it was promptly marked as "shipped" but not actually shipped. Customer support just says "please wait dear" and nothing else.

Those products you mention will also never reveive any BIOS or firmware updates (including critical security). Speaking from experience with units from 18/19.

Hardkernel with their community engagement is a different story.

I do see the value prop here. Just wished this board supported being driven from 12V but I guess you cant get everything eh
