ARM Single Board Computer

Hardware Hub Build a PC

I'm planning on replacing my old Raspberry Pi own-cloud server with a more powerful computer.

does anyone know of any good Single Board ARM Computer which have a Gigabit Ethernet, Since it will be running nextcloud.

I have been looking at some shown below, but they are a bit expensive or I’m not sure if they are any good

i'm mainly looking for something with at least 1 GB of ram and Gigabit Ethernet

Also the computer will be running Ubuntu server

thanks in advance

Look at the Parallella. Its purpose is parallel computing and it has a dual core arm head with a 16 core risc secondary cpu. Its powerful.

Odroid. I bought two C2's form Ameridroid.com

Someone told me today that banana pi's sata port supports a port multiplier.

Also, the latte panda is not ARM, but is x86 + a microcontroller.

The ASUS Tinker Single Board Computer looks interesting. It's not perfect, but it definitely punches harder than any of the ones you've mentioned.

Even though it's not ARM, the Up Squared SBC is also an option. I have one on order for use as a pfSense router.

It's lowest config has way way more power than any of the ARM CPUs here, but is only about $109. It also has dual GigE, a M.2 AND a SATA connector, in addition to 16GB of eMMC onboard.

Where is the best place to get one, Amazon have them but there £107, and PC world (the UK shop) are sold out?

Hmm, hard to find it seems... that sucks. They are a fairly new item... so maybe channels have yet to get them in stock.

I'm still waiting for my Up Squared board to go into production. This is my first Kickstarter... so should be interesting.

It seems that asus have stopped selling them "This item has unfortunately had to be removed from sale due to software issues"

any other ideas?

Wow. Just wow.
Talk about a botched launch.

Not sure about your timetable on this project... but the Up Squared I have on order should start being delivered maybe in April/May. It's a Celeron with 2GB RAM and 16GB eMMC... which is many times more powerful than even the fastest ARM board.

I just looked at the Odroid-C2 again.. and that's pretty much in the same league. I'd recommend that if you are dead-set on an ATM processor. I still think that the Up Squared is a better device because it's more powerful, has integrated eMMC (it's not an option), dual NICs, 3x USB3.0, and dual HDMI... for $109

Thanks for the help, I planning on building my own pfsense router, and the UP Squared seems to be ideal for the job.

For Mini Arm server the Odroid-C2 seems good but it’s starting to get into the dear end. Since ill be making it a basic web server (been running apache2 on a original raspberry pi B for 4 years now and have never had an issue).

Ill probably go with the banana PI pro since it has a gigabit Ethernet and 1GB of ram.

however if in the future I want to get a more powerful system I know where to look

yet again thanks for the help.
