BTW, by "reliability" I don't mean "time between reboots" but "time
before hardware failure". So far my experience with sunxi hardware
running 24/7 (mostly used as NAS) has been rather mixed:
- Cubietruck: dead after a bit less than a year (DRAM not recognized by
U-Boot any more).
- BananaPi: it took me a week to find a micro-USB cable that would be
able to provide enough power. And after about a year, the power
supply weakened, so it wasn't booting any more (and it seems to have
caused HDD corruption). I'm in the process of getting another power
supply and it seems the board is actually not faulty.
- OrangePi-mini: not yet up to a year, but working OK so far (fewer
power problems largely thanks to the experience gained earlier with
the BananaPi I guess).
- Mele-A2000: this one actually still works, with the original power
supply, tho it's having some non-deterministic boot failures which
could be explained by power supply issues.
I really love these little buggers because they consume very little power
but offer all the resources I need. I just wished I could feel more
confident that it won't die on me when I'm away for a few weeks.
