NicoD Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Hi all. Here my newest video about old boards that still do their job well. OrangePi+ and OPi+2. My favorite NAS. Here all my gathered data. Spoiler OPi+ OPi+2 ---- ----- Specs specs ----- ----- Allwinner H3 quad-core Cortex-A7 Max 1.37Ghz Mali400MP2 1GB ddr3 2GB ddr3 8GB eMMC 16GB eMMC 10/100 Ethernet Gbit ethernet CSI 4 x USB2 type A + 1 USB2 OTG Barrel Jack SATA 40 pin gpio wifi 2.4Ghz 3.5 mm Jack + microphone Released February 2015 December 2015 Transfer speeds OPi+ -------------------- read write acces time ---- ----- ---------- On-board sd-card 23.6 MB/s 21.7 MB/s 0.51 msec eMMC 8GB 85.2 MB/s 25 MB/s 0.55 msec write goes from 30 MB/s to 15 MB/s SATA HD2.5" 256GB 35 MB/s 15.5 MB/s 23.90 msec USB2 HD 1.5TB 35 MB/s 34 MB/s 15.64 msec SFTP file transfer 14 MB/s 11.4 MB/s 1.5TB HDD to NanoPi M4V2 zram 1.4 GB/s 0.01 msec Internet ethernet 44.3 Mbps 11.5 Mbps 11.0 msec 5.5MB/s Transfer speeds OPi+2 --------------------- read write acces time ---- ----- ---------- On-board sd-card 23.6 MB/s 21.6 MB/s 0.51 msec eMMC 16GB 81.5 MB/s 21.5 MB/s 0.35 msec write starts at 44 MB/s and then goes down to 10 MB/s USB2 SamsungBar 24.7 MB/s 12.3 MB/s 0.89 msec USB2 SSD to USB3 38.2 MB/s 34.4 MB/s 0.72 msec SFTP file transfer 17 MB/s 10 MB/s SATA HDD2.5" 256GB 31 MBs 15.1 MB/s 23.86 msec zram Armbian Focal 0.87GB/s 0.01 msec zram Armbian Buster 1.0 GB/s 0.01 msec zram Armbian Bionic 1.2 GB/s 0.01 msec Internet over wifi 18.9 Mbps 11.59 Mbps 27.0 msec SD-Card used is a 128GB Sandisk Extreme OrangePi+ | Clock S/C | B/C | Blender | 7z S/C | 7Z Multi | glxgears | CPUMiner | SBCBench Armbian Bionic 1.37Ghz 1h43m52s 1085 3640 http://ix.io/2DeH heatsink no fan throttle to 1.3Ghz at 80C, lower at 85C OPi+ Armbian Bionic 1.37Ghz 1h36m39s 1083 3870 http://ix.io/2Dah heatsink + fan Opi+ OrangePi+/+2 | Clock S/C | B/C | Blender | 7z S/C | 7Z Multi | glxgears | CPUMiner | SBCBench Armbian Buster 1.37Ghz 1076 3927 http://ix.io/2CWo heatsink + fan / Blender unstable at all frequencies Armbian Buster 1.37Ghz 1077 3447/3230 http://ix.io/2Dgr heatsink no fan Armbian Focal 1.37Ghz 1024 3451 http://ix.io/2D9s heatsink + fan / Blender 2.82, doesn't work Armbian Bionic 1.37Ghz 1h49m36s 1078 3810 http://ix.io/2Dbg heatsink + fan Armbian Bionic 1.37Ghz 1076 3380 http://ix.io/2DgC heatsink no fan Temperatures ------------ All with performance governor and 1.37Ghz. Idle will be lower with ondemand or lower clockspeed OPi+ with kernel 4.19.62 vs OPi+2 with kernel 5.8.5 / 1080p has higher temperatures than 720p No fan idle OPi+ 48C 720p 52C 1080p No fan maxed OPi+ Throttle at 75C to 1.3Ghz at 80C to 1.2Ghz doesn't go higher than 80C Fan idle OPi+ 27C Fan maxed OPi+ 54C No fan idle OPi+2 58C No fan maxed OPi+2 Throttle at 75C to 1.3Ghz, 80C 1.2Ghz and lower at 85C lower. Barely reaches 85C Fan idle OPi+2 33C Fan maxed OPi+2 60C 2 heatsinks+fan 64C with 1 heatsink+fan Power consumption ----------------- Idle nothing connected : 0.45 A -|> 2.25W Maxed out nothing connected : 0.9 A -|> 4.5W Youtube Playback ---------------- @720p display res 480p youtube with Firefox. Max 720p30fps Remarks ------- Focal performs less while running hotter? OPi+ runs cooler than OPi+2. Both Armbian Focal, the same task, OPi+2 even 2 heatsinks vs 1 the same lower heatsink. OPi+2 with 1 heatsink runs even hotter. 10C difference Debian Buster can't run Blender stable. Always crashes after about 30minutes. Focal can't run Blender. 2.82 in repo. Can't run without OpenGL 3.3 Runs best at 720p +++ Uses modern mainline kernel SATA + Power for 2.5" HDD eMMC, so no SD-card needed Well supported by Armbian WIFI Good enough for NAS --- Aging armhf architecture Needs good cooling when used maxed out. Heatsink sufficient for light tasks. Fan needed for maxed out tasks OPi+ doesn't have Gbit ethernet. So don't buy it anymore. OPi+2 has better specs Not powerful enough to be used as desktop (of course it isn't) Does not shutdown on its own Bad naming. OPi1+, OPiZero+, OPi+2e... Greetings, NicoD 1
