Better idle power than a Raspberry Pi 4 plus it has functioning suspend modes.
- tym0 4y agoIf this can replace the laptop I am running as plex server and with the current price of electricity of the UK, it could pay itself pack in less than five months...
- alias_neo 4y agoThey have 2 dots in there, "1..9W" so I believe it's 1-9W not 1.9W. Hard to say though.
- moffkalast 4y agoAfter all these years I still can't believe the Pi 4 has no low power mode and uses like 2 W when completely shut down. Like seriously how can you mess up so badly. 'Fewer components', yadda yadda, and on the other hand they manage to include a full headphone jack that's completely unusable due to induced noise... just sigh
- hadlock 4y agoI haven't seen a corrupted SD card on an SBC in, well since at least 2015. I guess it's possible under heavy read/write but I've not experienced it and I tinker with the stuff at least a couple times a year.
- beebeepka 4y agoReally? My Pi managed to corrupt two 128gb cards in 2 years or so. It absolutely happens. I was running light web apps with less than 10 users, hence minimal writes, especially for cards this big
- cptskippy 4y agoI run a couple Raspberry Pi 2s and they average about 1 SD card a year between them.
- woleium 4y agoare you mounting with noatime, cuz you should be.
- abudabi123 4y agoTo reduce wear and tear you can set temporary storage to /dev/shm, point the application setting for cache there. TMPDIR is one environment variable for this kind of thing. The distros for SBCs should optimize for ramdisk.
- hadlock 4y agoYes. I buy my SD cards from B&H to try and minimize chances of getting counterfit product. I have never had a corrupted card that I can recall, and I just unplug them.
- sliken 4y agoAs someone else mentioned it's 1-9W not 1.9W for the H3 and H3+. I don't particularly trust the numbers, generally the N6005 runs hotter than the N5105, which makes sense since it's the same process and largely the same chip with more GPU EUs. ServeTheHome mentions VERY similar boxes (same CPUs) "At idle, we saw between 10-12W depending on single versus double SODIMM configurations. Maximum power consumption hit just over 30W. Both at idle and at maximum, this is significantly higher than the J4125, but one also gets more performance, so there is a clear trade-off. At the top end, adding ~5W over the N5105 was unexpected based on similar TDPs." On the N5105 (they reviewed at least two) "Power was not a winning point of this solution. At idle, we saw between 10-12W depending on single versus double SODIMM configurations. Maximum power consumption hit 24.5W even with the Topton configured (512GB/16GB) unit. There is clearly room to go up from there. This is a lot higher on both idle and maximum power consumption than the Celeron J4125 that we looked at previously."
- tbyehl 4y agoI suspect that H3/H3+ numbers are on the DC side with an eMMC module, a single DDR4 SO-DIMM of the lowest capacity, with the most aggressive power management settings, and nothing else attached. 1.9w idle is plausible but not what people are going to see with a realistic running configuration measured from the AC end.
- 3np 4y agoI really wish this supported being driven over 12V, though. Starting at 14 makes it suboptimal for several scenarios I'd have considered it for.
