That's some extremely slow performance for all the money spent to add NVME to the Pi.
I get that there's a fun factor involved with raspberry pi stuff, but I wish the performance to price was better. I'm better off buying off-lease USFF pulls or something instead for anything I do, they cost less and generally use about the same power relative to performance.
- geerlingguy 6y agoThe interesting thing for me has been the curve of performance/dollar over the past decade since the first Pi came out. The gap was huge back then, but the Pi 4 is now getting competitive for some use cases (especially if also considering power efficiency for lighter usage patterns), and I can see a time where the value gets even better depending where things end up with a Pi 5 or 6 in the next few years...
- Saris 6y agoIt's definitely interesting to see their progress. They are fairly rapidly catching up to the minimum performance needed to run most typical users apps.
- nfriedly 6y agoI hope there's a future Pi with more PCIe lanes. 4 would prevent the PCIe bus from being a bottleneck. Or it could have USB 3 and NVMe, maybe even a 2.5GBPS ethernet.
