Raspberry Pi boots off an NVMe SSD, natively!

Raspberry Pi boots off an NVMe SSD, natively!

The Raspberry Pi can now boot off NVMe drives natively—assuming you have the right hardware. NVMe Boot is currently in beta, but will hopefully be available on all Compute Module 4’s soon! This is the fastest way to run a Raspberry Pi, but is it better...
Hardware RAID for the fastest Raspberry Pi CM4 NAS!

Hardware RAID for the fastest Raspberry Pi CM4 NAS!

Finally, with a bit of help from some Broadcom engineers, I got full hardware RAID working on a Raspberry Pi. And I actually used SAS drives this time. Special thanks to Broadcom for sending me a controller card and storage backplane to test on the Pi, and for their...
Thermal Testing My Water Cooled Raspberry Pi Cluster – Does Loop Order Matter?

Thermal Testing My Water Cooled Raspberry Pi Cluster – Does Loop Order Matter?

In this video I’ll be doing a thermal test on my water cooled Raspberry Pi cluster to see if the water cooling system is effective and to see if there is any significant temperature difference between the first and last nodes, since they’re all connected...
Argon One M.2 Raspberry Pi Case – SSD on your Pi 4!

Argon One M.2 Raspberry Pi Case – SSD on your Pi 4!

The Argon One has been a popular case for the Raspberry Pi 4 model B. The newer M.2 version of the case adds a new trick: a built-in SSD slot inside the case! There are some caveats and things to watch out for, but watch this video to see my recommendations. Support...
I lied… WiFi 6 on the Raspberry Pi is NOT faster than Ethernet

I lied… WiFi 6 on the Raspberry Pi is NOT faster than Ethernet

As it turns out, my benchmarking process was flawed, and I had to learn a bit about the Linux networking stack to figure out why! Special thanks to commenter marvell marvell for pointing out the obvious, and to Javier Choclin for suggesting I try out the MZHOU...
