New sBit?

Gerald Sherman All Messages By This Member #114400 Ashhar mentioned he had a few 10" displays on a trial basis to see how they would work out in a new sBit.? The Pi Display 2 is quite an upgrade from the old one in terms of resolution.? If the 10" is a proportional upgrade from the Display 2, it sounds as if it is the solution to all the issues of simultaneous display capabilities.? Since this display would require a completely new cabinet, how about putting in a Pi 5 CPU, and replacing the uSD card with something faster & more reliable.? If my memory serves me right, I seem to recall that an NVMe can be used and installed internally.? Sure, it's going to cost more, but the trade-off would be much improved performance, I think. Any comments? Gerry Sherman Sent by the Windows 11 Thunderbird
Evan Hand All Messages By This Member #114402 I like the increased screen size.? I suggest the Ham choose the RPi4 or RPi5, as some would rather keep the cost low.? The NVME upgrade could be for either the Pi4 or Pi5.? Extra space between the front and back of the case would be required. ? 73 Evan AC9TU
Ken N2VIP All Messages By This Member #114406 开云体育 Sorry to be "that guy", but the RPi can only use a USB3-connected SATA SSD, the RPi 5 has on-board PCIe interface that supports NVMe SSD. Some people confuse the form factor of the SSD, m.2, with one of the technologies that uses that form-factor, NVMe. PCIe NVMe SSDs are "wicked fast", USB-connected SATA drives are very, very fast. The official RPi foundation NVMe SSD hat can be installed onto/over the official RPi foundation Active Cooler, and the combination of RPi, Active Cooler, and NVMe all fits inside official RPi 5 case, just extending a very little bit over the top of the RJ45 connector housing. A redesign incorporating the RPi 5 and official cooler/NVMe SSD would only have to make minor adjustments. Another option is a back plate PCIe NVMe board that installs UNDER the RPi, which would require different accommodations, but maybe more flexible...

Evan Hand All Messages By This Member #114407 Hi Ken, ? My terms may be wrong, but NVME drive interfaces are listed with USB 3.0 interfaces for the RPi4.? I own 2 of them.? ? ? I agree that the RPi5 NVME interface will be faster.? The most significant advantage is the number of writes that the NVME technology supports vs a microSD card. ? The RPi4 and RPi5 devices require more space above or below the board to mount the NVME drive. ? 73 Evan AC9TU
Ken N2VIP All Messages By This Member #114408 开云体育 That board is unusual - I had seen it but forgot about it - it has a USB3-connected SSD, with an NVMe interface built into the board. The USB interface really cuts into performance, but it is the best option for RPi 4. I stand corrected, thanks, Ken, N2VIP toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Nov 22, 2024, at 17:26, Evan Hand via groups.io <elhandjr@...> wrote: ? Hi Ken, ?
