I use a headless Raspberry Pi 4 connected via USB to an external 2TB SSD and host
A colleague at work said he was running a Raspberry Pi but in the end had to move to a more powerful system because he needed more power. AFAIK he’s use case is lighter than what i plan so i thought it wasn’t a viable solution. What you describe sounds very nice, especially because of the price of the Pi.
Would love to hear more people’s experiences with this setup.
While PI prices are starting to come back down to earth, they are still heavily inflated if you want enough RAM. then you usually want to add the cost of an enclosure and SD card, power supply, HDMI adaptor if you need a screen etc.etc.
I got an intel N95 powered miniPC with 8gb ram and 128gb ssd for less than the current going rate of a PI4 8GB, so sometimes they aren't the best option. great little chip
I'll be replacing a pi4 and 2 pi3's with that little guy.
