Hi everyone! I recently moved my services from a Hetzner VPS to an OrangePi Zero 3 and I was wondering what options do I have storage-wise? How could I plug the most HDDs possible on this thing? Does anyone have a successful setup that might want to share?
You could’ve just got a board with USB 3 and Gigabit ethernet for that price. https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=279
Or this… https://radxa.com/products/rocke/pie/ or… https://radxa.com/products/zeros/zero3e/
I never heard of any of those SBCs. Pretty interesting, thanks for the tip!
Sure no problem, general rule pick something that is supported by Armbian or will be like the Zero 3e. This will give you way better future support including kernels even after the manufacturer no longer supports the device.
About the NanoPi Neo3
This little thing gets pretty hot with the official case. I had to cut a hole in it to hot glue a tiny fan, powered by the GPIO.
I can’t remember the temp. difference right now (it’s unplugged) but it was significant.
Oh yes, but I never tweaked it and I haven’t had issues with it.
