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!

Power consumption is up from 5.5-6.5watts for 2 and with 1024 and 16384 for 3 watts up to 9.5watts.
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.
