Hi Nico, do you build a distro or just a kernel ?

What would be the offset for an Armbian image ? Edit I worked it out with googles help if you run fdisk -lu /path/to/your/image.img it will give you start and end numbers , if you multiply the start figure by 512 this gives you the offset. I just tried it with my dd created Armbian EMMC image and it mounted ok - this is a useful piece of knowledge when you want to retrieve some files from your backup.

I know what you mean ( many hats and titles ) I've been programming computers since 1971 and I'm still getting paid to do so - some of my previous titles are shown below Programmer Systems Analyst Analyst Programmer Project Manager Lead Programmer Software Engineer l could go on - all those different titles for essentially the same job BTW I have the Pi with 4 Ssd drives working beautifuly

Not yet Frank, I've set the drives up as a software Raid 5 so any benchmarks would be a bit skewed anyway - what tool do you use for benchmarking ?

Here's some photos of my M4 with SATA hat and 4 SSD's in a drive case - all working beautifully
-
One of my boards gave up today - I was just connecting the SATA power cable to the hat and no leds came on - no sound or smoke just nothing - I tried several times to re power it and all I saw on a couple of occasions was a very faint flicker of the leds -so I guess it's dead.

I received one of these https://www.servercase.co.uk/shop/server-cases/rackmount-case-accessories/accessories-spare-parts/supermicro-cse-m14tqc-cse-m14tqc/ today to go with the Nanopi M4 SATa hat, it has a male Molex for input power, the SATA hat has a male Molex power outlet so I need a female to female Molex connector which I can't find anywhere - any ideas guys ?
-
You're welcome, I now have a 4TB backup system - I've ordered a case for the drives which will tidy things up and hide all the cables and I'll put some pics up when I have it sorted - it's been an enjoyable learning curve for us all

Thanks ( glazes over ) :-)
