The MirkoPC is a full-featured Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4-based PC board. It makes the experience of running a Pi as a daily computer much better, with features like a built-in full-size M.2 slot for fast NVMe storage, and a high-quality headphone amplifier. This...

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...

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 built the fastest (to my knowledge) native SATA RAID array on a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, and set it up as a NAS server, testing out hard drives and SSDs, and different RAID setups like RAID 0, 1, and 10. I discuss the advantages of different RAID levels, how...

Everyone knows you can overclock the Pi 4. But what happens when you overclock a Compute Module 4? The results surprised me! More info in my blog post: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/overclocking-raspberry-pi-compute-module-4 Phoronix benchmark script:...
