Last weekend's project (pictured): Odroid H4+ -> OPNSense firewall for routing WAN/LAN traffic at 2.5Gbps, rock solid!

This weekend's project: Odroid H4 Ultra + 48GB RAM + 2TB NVMe -> low-power Proxmox VE host for all of my home services and automation 🤠

Will report back! 🫡

Take a look at these, x4 SSDs vs x4 HDDs (I know they exist because I've had the same thought!) -- fwiw, you may need to opt for the beefier power supply with spinning HDDs?

You’re trailblazing the exact projects I have in mind 🤣

Though one thing I’d also like to use a H4+ ultra is as a NAS, but haven’t quite figured out how to properly power and house 2-4 HDDs. Maybe not the right use case, huh?

Yep, it's a native x4 PCIe 3.0 (2280) slot!

I have an H4+ running OPNSense (which is based on FreeBSD), and an H4 Ultra running Proxmox VE (which is based on Debian) but can spin up a VM/LXC of whatever!

I run Fedora Workstation 40 + the Sway Spin as my daily driver (laptop) 🙂

These look like a lot of fun. Are the nvme ports internal? What Linux version do you use?
