While on the topic of drives on Pi's; I did read this post by Jeff Geerling the other day. Might be something worth looking into if you won't benefit from the additional bandwidth and features of NVMe.
https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/radxas-sata-hat-makes-compact-pi-5-nas Seems somewhat interesting if you were, say, to build a small NAS. I'm not too sure how well ZFS or whatever filesystem you decide to use would fair performance-wise when used in RAID but seems to be worth a deeper dive into. I wonder if I could get SATA and NVMe running as some kind of cache, with the SATA drives being used for mass storage? I have seen people make some fairly interesting boards for the Pi `Compute Modules`, which might be worth looking into too at some point, but I am also looking into some of the non-pi SBCs like the Pine64 and Radxa's for a project, so who knows where that will go. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2024-06-04 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
