Summary

Radxa Rock Pi 4a

Useful for existing devices, for q new installation select it is better to choose a newer model, e.g., the successor model Rock Pi 5 model b.

Pine64 RockPro64

Mature but still useful for lower performance requirements. Particularly suitable as a backup device with large spindle disks.

Detailed informations

(TBD: to be expanded, adding detailed installation and configuration description, probably on a separate page each)

Radxa Rock Pi 4a

  • A nice, very compact model

  • With nvme board installed the mSD slot is not accessible anymore. In case of boot issues, the case must be disassembled.

  • The SPI module is not supported by Fedora. You may use Armbian to install a Fedora compatible SPI boot loader (F36 - F38).

Pine64 RockPro64

  • With the compact case you can’t install the NVMe daughter board. You would have to use the much bigger NAS case. With the compact case you can just use the eMMC connector.

  • This model is specifically recommended if you want zu built a NAS including 2 SATA disks.
