I was using a Raspberry Pi v1 as my NAS for years. It was fast enough and got the job done to my satisfaction. However when that pi eventually died and I tried to replace it, I found that v4 Pis were 1) just as expensive as NUCs, and 2) not even available for purchase anywhere that I could find. So now I've got a NUC filling that role. The Raspberry Pi org has really dropped the ball.
- fundad 4y agoThat is unfortunate about the R Pi. I got a 3B+ a year before 2020 and it better last a long time. I think the foundation’s pressures are similar to Apple’s pressure to upsell their paid service all over the UI. That’s what I resent about Apple; it’s enshittification like with EBay, Amazon and even Google bugging me to sign in to make searches.
- dbrueck 4y agoHa, what timing: literally yesterday I went down the rabbit hole of researching Pis for NAS and wound up ordering a NUC.
