About that, I am waiting for the quad core version to arrive. I liked it so much I bought another unit that I will use just for Nextcloud in RAID. > > I am amazed by the zimablade performance especially as it is a very low specs machine theoretically. Never tried the zimaboard but I have no reasons to do it.

Thanks! Then I will consider buying one for myself!

Yes, we were moving these hosting services to a mid-tower "server" (actually a normal PC with linux). Thermals surely were better handled due to the size of the build but from my personal experience you can add some thermal solutions to NUCs and get the same / better results. Note that the mid-tower build I am talking about would be considered low spec nowadays (I don't remember exactly the specs but it was surely pre-2019).

No problem, thank you for the clarifications!

To give you a practical example, you can try > > https://view.tcsenpai.com/feed/popular (invidious instance hosted on the Jetson Xavier) > > https://swing.tunnelsenpai.win/#/ (hosted on the ZimaBlade) > > In my opinion, while being way cheaper, the ZimaBlade obliterates the Jetson Xavier (which btw is forced to run at 20w vs 6w and must use Ubuntu 18.04 with a 5. something kernel)

Fun examples!
