so what's the different between the hardware vs MK802 mini PC ?

Anyone know , does raspberry pi still worth to get ? just wanted to act as download box 24/7 direct download or some torrent.
You all know stmyx user speed right.
Since it's low voltage , would be best to save electric for 24/7.

I only concern how to setup a torrent and ddl setting and link it to a 2.5 hard disk running 24/7 ? which raspberry pi version is suitable ?
Cna run extra power for 2.5 hard disk ?
And which case cover to buy for it ?

I google but all result is dated back years ago like 2016.

Besides, can rasperry pi run on dual boot ? OS linux and android x86 ? which memory card is suitable and fast enought ? 1GB ram still possible to do all the task ?
Should I get other intel atom base of mini pc with better hardware ?

Any reply ?

My reason is running at low watts. Builing a intel Atom or Ryzen watts is high.

Why didn't continue use raspberry ?

I don't know how much can 1GB can do but mostly just normal usage.DDL and torrent.
As for Micro sd card.Which one would be the best for usage?
About linux , I just think of 2 usage is more than enough,set up and ddl.Not using for other usage.
Do you know any raspberry pi community discussion ? large enough to get like almost instant reply on technical help ?
8-12GB takes days with smyx 2mb and upload will take forever and sometimes even fail because of timeout.

I just wonder whether it can last 24/7 without a fan in a box ? I plan to get one too.
Add an 64GB or 128GB sdcard.Which sdcard do you recommend ?


And also , can it act like a camera ? I checked the camera is way too poor for CCTV.

When torrent , speed will depends on seeder , if the seeder only uploaded with somewhere near 100kb , we only get 100kb maximum.
What time out you mention ?

I haven't buy anything yet.I just wonder whether a good SD card can give faster speed on r/w.64GB does not cost so much , below RM50.
But there are a lot of sdcard model and brand , which one is reliable ? Since i will be running 24/7 but will turn off once a week.

Thanks for the link , really need a lot of time to read out all the setting.

The power supply original is UK plug ? I can't find any original adapter https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspbe...l-power-supply/
Do you think this would be original ? https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspbe...l-power-supply/

It really takes time to read all.Maybe will wait for Pi 4 for better performance since max is 1GB ram and 1080p video.
Surely will release at 2020.

Thanks will read through it once i purchase it.

Thank you for the info.PipaOS , any reason running the distro ? I can see is very light weight.

You download your fine into the sdcard ? did you claim for warranty ? since most sdcard have 3-5 years.
What about your 32GB thumbdrive ?

Same price no change.rm160-180
Wait for pi 4 2020 ?
you save your downloaded file into the USB pendrive ?

Wait a bit more for reviews
Wait for all the part to come.4GB and Casing.I still need to look at some review running 24/7 stability.
Need to see which distro running well on it.

80'c is really hot.
Need a good Thermal paste and noctua HT ?

Waiting for all bundle power cable + casing+fan together with 4GB version .

What about casing and heat sink ? I saw the HDMI cable out of stock.
Would better to wait for all stock available or get at shope and laz .

How do you think about running it for 24/7 ?
Some review it stutter even running 4k on youtube.

Usage as NAS , or as Media center installing emteria.OS for android ?

Which OS you install for 24/7 ? I also prefer something cheaper and low watts PC.All PC required minimum of 30w-50w psu.
I prefer 24/7 below 15w.
