Raspberry Pi 5: available now! We’ve been excited to see the response of early users to Raspberry Pi 5, and can’t wait to see what you do once you get your hands on it.
I gave the Orange Pi 5 a try and I love it for hosting/data intensive applications. The real M.2 for a SSD is a game changer.
I still use RPi boards for all kinds of embedded solutions, especially once it's GPIO based work, but for server/network kinds of work I put it on the Orange Pi 5 board.
M.2 is a serious win. That’s why I couldn’t believe the RPi5 didn’t include one natively.
I have a mix of Orange and Raspberry Pis. It all depends on their features, specs, and price point for the job. But if I don’t need a HAT, Orange usually wins out.
I’d rather have an M.2 connector without requiring a HAT.
I’ll stick with my Orange Pi 5 for now which comes with one, tyvm.
