A recent Armbian kernel upgrade bricked my entire Rock64 cluster (5 cards) and after a week debugging, it seems beyond repair.
I would like to find some ARM-based SBC for self-hosting that’s reliable enough to run for the next five years.
My question for you is reliability and support, rather than specs, as I found Pine64 lacking in support and 4 out of 8 cards failed in the period of two years (one got replaced by warranty).
I have already an x86 cluster, so my interest is for ARM vendors and do not need wifi, gpio, audio, hdmi, etc…
Any experience with Orange Pi or Radxa?
Thanks for sharing! Thats good to know info.
