Correct, sad but true, hope we will be able in the near future, Opi5 is a nice platform for me
Uau the Cosmo guy is arround here too!
Not really. If it still works well with less cpu power and less energy, it’s not downgrade. No reason to over-spec. Besides, even all the arguments about SD cards etc. are no more valid, because even cheap/mid-priced boards have at least eMMC, many do have m.2.
eMMC is not equivalent to SSD though. It is more equivalent to a “slightly better SD card”.
There are actually many valid reasons to overspec and it is unfortunately a lesson I have learned time and again. It is difficult to judge future use cases and as we’ve seen, Home Assistant hardware requirements continue to creep up.
In my opinion anyway, the largest advantage of a small form factor computer is that it is a known, assembled package that comes with everything needed. No need to figure out a case, add an MMC, make sure a power supply is up to spec. Even a 5 year old Tiny is going to be faster than any equivelant priced SBC.
Any updates for 2024 ? Just thinking about HAOS and
Why would you pay that much for a system with 16GB RAM to only run HAOS?
For that kind of money you can get a system that can run bare metal virtualization and do a lot more then just HA.
I think about a fanless system . I want to avoid fans. regards …
I understand that.
I have bought a HP T630 Thin client, that is also fanless but ‘only’ a 4-core, which can be ample for HA and you can find them 2nd hand for a good deal.
