The bigger challenge part of that is getting that many RPi's
I would love to see Mythic beasts full setup of RPi's
My local supplier allow unlimited (up to their stock limit) Rpi ordering... shouldnt be a big concern now?
I'm surprised you hadn't migrated to a different SBCs yet, so many options now.
True, but will people order alternatives? Raspberry Pi has popularity, making it a huge selling point.
I got one, nice to see 1 Gbps network on this
Accident clicked post
Out of Stock, chance for getting one 256gb available ?
Also the question comes... What other alternative would be the best solution/option?
That is a good question.. Even I don't know that one.
OrangePi's with NVMe are pretty robust little SBC's.
You and @lanefu would get alone on that OrangePi part
I've been keeping an eye out on these but idk if it would be even worth it...

@DataIdeas-Josh get a handful of those, we'll test them out for you.
Assuming opi5. Depends on people's appetite for the vendor BSP hackjob kernel. Mainline support for rk3588 on kernel 6.6 is looking pretty good.
Raxda Rock 5b probably at the head of the pack for mainline.
128C is the largest CPU, so i would consider 128 1core dedicated to be still really good offer.
16x DIMM slots too, so you can get a lot of RAM for that price too.
Storage will become the bottleneck, but i guess 2 tiers then. Add say 8x 8TB SATA SSD RAID10 and 4x NVMe arrays and just tier the services.
You'll end up with more than 10k per node, but being able to support 128 VMs with dedicated cores could easily generate probably 700$ per month at minimum. That means you are looking at 2+ year ROI.
Not sure any board that stripped down actually exists
Would be curious to play around with one and see where the pricing would go with something like that.
SBC with M.2 NVMe would be quite sweet indeed.
Wanna see naked pushups?
Connect to the Wi-Fi access point.
Password is in a Bluetooth beacon.
Send me $3.14 and I'll make it happen.
That's assuming people will pay ~$5.50/m per core.
I wonder if get the compute module then it would be stripped down. but then would have to create the motherboard and after everything is said and done. back at the same costs.
Hey is there a way to get email notifications when new stock is updated! At the moment I wait for a notification from this thread lol
With the big server you add more ram and faster and more storage and that can bring the average sale price higher.
Yea, CM4 kinda would be it, but requiring motherboard etc. that's an very expensive custom board, but you could integrate many units, switch, power management etc. on that same board. But you would need to sell A LOT to cover the costs.
But unit which is fully contained, full system, just without all the extras not needed for server, that doesn't exist and might find a market.
Also comparing RPi 4B to old low power systems (ie. Atom N2800) that's a lot of compute performance, but even decade+ old atom will have higher I/O perf sadly.
Not at the moment.
Is their website down or is it just me?
It is at the moment for web server maintenance.
Getting spicy box.
Spicy box? You mean... you have it? You have Raspberry Pi 5?
I will be getting the RPi5 but they won't get into production yet. Preorders only allowing for one.
I ain't special like some of these people.
But our web server got updated.
I smell something good coming!
Well just as I was posting this there were 3x RPi4 available but they got snagged up as quickly as they were posted.
I guess someone got a notification system for RPi's
RPi's available at the moment.
1x RPi 3B+ 16GB
https://my2.dataideas.com/store/rpi-servers/raspberry-pi-3b-1gb-ram16gb-drive
5x RPi 3B+ 32GB
https://my2.dataideas.com/store/rpi-servers/raspberry-pi-3b-1gb-ram32gb-drive
Got one 32GB left.
That went quickly... like normal
If it sells, maybe you should focus sales more on ARM dedicated machines with some large storage attached.
