Raspberry Pi3 - any tests ou there?

Post by F8BOE »

Hello,

After I made my first successful tests with NAS4Free on a RPi2, I'm wondering if some people out there already tried the new RPi3 model.

https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/ra ... 3-model-b/

OK, the main differences that could rise problems running NAS4Free are a 64-bit processor and the new ARM v8 architecture.

Ciao @+

Oh.... That's a pity! RPi2s are becoming more and more rare in the shops these days, and I have a project to build several RPi server farms...

On which line did it get stuck?
With what error message?

I am currently testing it on a Banana Pi
It runs very nice and Alexey123 made a ready to use image for it
In comparison to the Raspberry, the Banana comes with 1GB LAN and SATA on board. I can achieve ~40MB/s transfer via NFS with it.
So, the choice is yours :)

Yep...

Banana Pi...
I know it would be "the better option" but regarding the price:
https://www.conrad.de/de/banana-pi-2-gb ... 04048.html
https://www.conrad.de/de/banana-pi-2-1- ... 17452.html

And last but not least: the LAN and USB resources are shared on the Raspberry models, but as tested here: viewtopic.php?p=63474#p63474 the PRi2 gives satisfaction for my use. It could also do the job as a web server...

I am not talking about the M3, I am using just the M1:

What you get for the price is quite good

Just to check I have understood correctly:

The Raspberry Pi has USB-only for mass storage, yes?
And 100Mbps Ethernet?
Which rather rules it out for serious use, surely? Experimentation only?

It always depends on what you want to use it... :roll:
As high performance file server connected to hundred clients, it might be slightly underpowered. :?
As portable media server it is working quite well.
