  • I have sold hundreds of PC parts for about 2 years. Customers are polite all the time, I know it is unexpected but that’s how it is, I have never had any nasty encounters.

    I had fears about them running away, but this also never happened. Regarding defects, there was few occasions where the next day they called me and asked for replacement. Usually I sell SSDs, so out of about 100 of them I got back 5. when I retested them 2 of them was working and I sold them again :D 3 dead SSDs are laying on the shelf, not sure what to do with them…






  • Don’t use Raspberry pi.

    • It is overpriced and slow.
    • SD Card write speeds are low
    • you will need external storage
    • Arm architecture, so some programs might not work
    • power issues
    • slow USB

    A cheap old laptop will work a lot better.

    • it might not have AC wake up (if power goes out, you will need to manually turn it on)
    • it might have always on cooler
    • it supports SATA SSD without adapter

    I think Raspberry pi is only good if you need gpio, otherwise save money and use an old laptop.
