This device is fast! I placed ubuntu on it and it works great and uses very little watts.

I am really pleased with this purchase overall. It's a super fast and capable SBC that rules out all performance problems I have had with other devices when I push an edge in it's use. Overall, I have not been disappointed in its performance.Notes to buyers- No Wifi onboard- Get a M.2 its a simple choice and makes the unit complete- BT Keyboard/Mouse because it can be used as a desktop and it's competent.

I have Armbian desktop running Ubuntu. It's fantastic. It is surprisingly powerful and uses less electricity than comparable x86 mini PCs. I used a 1TB 2242 nvme drive with excellent performance

After reading the reviews of missing screws, I was surprised to find that it was included with the Pi 5 16GB+5V4A Power "kit".Installed 'Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-orange-pi5' (Ubuntu) image to the sd card then transferred it over to the nvme card.I received a permission error but elevating privileges to root (sudo su -) then running the command fixed it.Below are the speed test for the Samsung MZALQ256HAJD MZ-ALQ2560HDParm Disk Read 368.75 MB/secHDParm Cached Disk Read 363.29 MB/secDD Disk Write 236 MB/sFIO 4k random read 87521 IOPS (350085 KB/s)FIO 4k random write 42053 IOPS (168213 KB/s)IOZone 4k read 70225 KB/sIOZone 4k write 99224 KB/sIOZone 4k random read 38468 KB/sIOZone 4k random write 68267 KB/s Score: 20182

Board worked good, however just recently whenever I plug it in the screen flickers and is a bright green and purple. all signs of GPU being messed up. Tried reflashing os, changing power cords and outlets, hdmi cables, everything. But nope, the gpu is borked after just a month or so.I would love to love to love this product and the company, but this is my first bought board with them and unfortunately its not leaving a good taste in my mouth. I hope that their customer service is good or else I will not be buying again. I will edit later to reflect on the customer service that I get

the orange pi 5 dev board is very powerful, very easy to configure for boot on nvme. I found more difficult to configure it for remote desktop, and the price is slightly to high.Memory wise, there is plenty of it, 16 GB is largely enough to do anything

Small and energy efficient yet powerfull and fast SoC, perfect for internet server, especially 16GB RAM version. Build in PCIe port allows for SSD disc usage, which additionally speedup th whole solution. I'm very glad from this purchase.

My thought on this sbc is it has great performance for it value but it dose suck that you can''t hook up an external usb ssd or a hard drive to it without struggle you have to search all over the internet just to find you have to do some command line codes just to get them to work but they don't work by them selves you have to still have the sd card in it to even get them to read how is it that it can read a usb thumb drive so easy i had no problems with any thumb drives i'm just so confused other then that I've had a really good experience when it come down to some of the operating systems that you can put on it Armbian is probable hand down the best operating system when it come to a regular desktop environment but still has some bugs but not bad ones i can find android operating systems can be a little iffy to put on the orange pi 5 bc of the way they have them put on there website you have to use there tool to flash it to the sd card in which i don't mined but you have a chance that when you flash it on it can corrupt your sd card but Ik it a new sbc i hope they give us better support when it comes to external ssd and hard drives
