Radxa Rock 5 itx — Изучаем недорогую ITX плату с ARM чипом

Я давно мечтал о домашнем ARM-сервере. Не о маленькой платке вроде Raspberry Pi, которая хороша для экспериментов, но всегда кажется компромиссом, а о чем-то настоящем — полноценной материнской плате в формате ITX, где есть всё необходимое для сборки рабочего сервера в обычном ATX кейсе, например питание от обычного ATX блока, порты для вентиляторов, или m.2 для ссд дисков. И вот в моих руках Radxa Rock 5 ITX. У нее имеется мощный ARM-процессор на 8 ядер, от 4 до 32 гигабайт оперативной памяти, стандартный форм-фактор Mini-ITX, и очень широкий выбор интерфейсов ввода и вывода. Осмотр, тесты, и сборка сервера в статье

Radxa Rock 5 itx — Изучаем недорогую ITX плату с ARM чипом

Осмотр Окинув плату взглядом, сразу становится ясно: это классический ITX-формат. Плата - редкий представитель своего класса, где на десктопной материнской плате установлен ARM-чип. По сути, это SBC,...

Hybrid computing systems

There are computing systems available which are of hybrid nature.

Those systems have

  • capacitive displays which are considerably larger than those of a typical tablet
  • keyboards which may be detachable
  • batteries which give them 6 to 8 hours of non AC working time under typical load
  • APU's which are less powerful than their mini-ITX counterpart versions, yet more powerful than those of typical tablet systems
  • storage varying from 2.5" SATA SSD's to m.2 2230 2242 2260 2280 to 22110 sizes, often in dual configuration modes
  • GPU's are integrated in the APU

⚡Best Mini-ITX motherboards for AM5

This article includes all Mini-ITX motherboards for the AM5 socket, not just the best ones. After analyzing 🔍 the component quality, VRM design, and test results, I compiled my own top 10 🏆 list of motherboards.

At least it eats near 3W without any connected peripherals

Whew, at least smoke test was passed  

This thing will be an Intel Atom based fileserver with a near zero noise from it (I hope).

Motherboard: some Intel Atom motherboard with ITX formfactor and with 4 SATA interfaces, and gigabit Ethernet controller. PSU: some Chinese PSU which should emit 259W of power — enough for motherboard and 4 HDDs (I hope)

@xavier_hm So for "worth it" you have to check how much would it cost to get a proper mini #ATX or #ITX server against the cost of these old laptops. If a old ATX/ITX server cannot be obtained then these laptops are a steal and "worth it". These laptops will have mobile CPUs and not server CPUs. Again balance the cost of acquisition, that is crucial.

Yes, going headless would free up resources but you would need to be comfy with terminal.

Finally please harden SSH and the server.

In the middle of process of cleaning rust from my new old case for another Intel Atom based home server. WD-40 and sandpaper do their job  

This case was cheap enough for second hand thing from some wet office (or warehouse) but requires some work. At least it didn't cost for 100500 roubles like some "gaming" cases or "skeleton cases" (basically just a T-shaped open panel with a bed for motherboard. EMI? Lol, it is "legacy" and "outdated"/s  )

I was looking at #3dprint #itx case and found this nice looking project from 2018:

When looking into small form factor cases to build a Mini-ITX PC for my Rift, I found a few things: Like any other hobby, there is an obsessive (in a good way) community of small form factor enthusiasts. The metric they optimize for is case size in liters. Often, people are stuck sub-optimally limiting their
