@Dann for HW acceleration instructions see https://www.armbian.com/rock-5b/

hi, got production Rock5b with 16GB, passive cooling, Rock A8 wifi6 card, Jammy with Cinnamon desktop, updated SPI so have SSD boot now, nice. Thank you Armbian team! Even with hardware acceleration sw installed still mis 10% of frames in youtube both Chromium and FF, tab crashes now and then in Firefox. Wifi works but bluetooth, no devices found .. Bought new 1TB WD Black SN850X gen4 for euro 105. @gounthar looks like SN850X is a mini bit faster than @mzbs Samsung 970 EVO Plus. Looking at my earlier testing is on par with my AMD 2400G and 2-4x faster than my Nanopi4a RK3399, not bad! hdparm -tT --direct /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/nvme0n1: Timing O_DIRECT cached reads: 3770 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1886.21 MB/sec Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 5888 MB in 3.00 seconds = 1962.44 MB/sec fio ...

true for the 5v gpio. i put a small 5/3.3v fan on the 3.3v gpio. that does powerdown with the os, without cord disconnect. see earlier picture. silent and enough cooling for my usage. ali charmoon fan

Not bad for a lame SBC. I use with Postgres, Timescaledb and Grafana in Docker containers.

with your samsung ssd i would expect a bit more. Have you tried the 5.4 kernel? (check other download options)

just shared in another post on this forum my NVME iozone results for my Nanopi M4v1 with 1TB XPG SX8200 Pro. 800000+kBytes/sec both read and write. specially for @NicoD some pictures. I power with 4a adapter. Self designed and 3d printed cabrio case, that does not fit well now with nvme board.

nice step by step docker install in this article on scaleway.com successful installed on my Friendlyarm Nanopi M4 with 4GB ram, latest Armbian as of aug2019. step 4 pre reqs were all there already and up to date. step 6 see the note on arm64. i run postgresql, nodered and grafana containers. happy docking

and then there is Raspberrypi 4 that changes everything.

linux newbe. just installed latest armbian from sd to mmc, configured wifi on my new nanoPi M4 2MB. Will do NodeJS dev and Docker. Thought NanoPi M4 board supports 4K HDMI desktop? But looks like 1920x1080 is highest possible resolution. With FriendlyArm Ubuntu 18.04 same result. Update; found looking at MickMake's NanoPI Neo4 review #251 NanoPi NEO4: Smallest RK3399 SBC.
