Single Board Computer Comparison

I wanted a really large storage card to use with my new Raspberry Pi 5 single board computer that runs my amateur radio station. This one is great for the purpose, and the USB adapter makes it easy to load the software onto it.

The most beautiful board amongst every single Z790 ITX line up!

I haven't done a side-by-side comparison of my HF200's on-board microphone against this one, but my wife, who works a lot with professional video equipment was impressed with this thing's performance. I think it also looks cool on the HF200 and makes it look more professional.

This seems just right for a single item like the computer I occasionally plug into it.

Use this for audio I/O between sound board and and computer, simple setup.

These bags hold a single print with a matte and foam core backing board or just the print. They are great for showing your customers that you care about the work that you do for them.

Really bad BIOS issues for RAM speeds/detection at launch, but once bios was updated it's been smooth sailing. Since you don't even really need CPU/RAM to do it its not that big of a deal. The board is extremely high quality from a build material standpoint and has a combination of features no other board has currently. Even more expensive ones. I really am finding good use from the 40gbps TB/USB4 ports for just one example. Tons of M.2 support and almost enough SATA for my storage needs. Although I understand why mobos don't have as many ports these days, a lot of creator types still use tons of HDDs for storage so it would be nice to see more SATA ports on a board of this type for a revision. Even 6 would be a huge difference from 4. 8 would be ideal. With how slow SATA is there is no way this can't be added, people would rather have that than other stuff. Even if it operated via a single pcie4 lane it would be a small price to pay for slightly slower throughput than 6gps if all the ports were used. HDDs can't even saturate that link anyways. There isn't a single x670e board that has lots of sata that isn't ASrock but I will never buy from them. Easy enough expansion for a SAS controller card though, but I shouldn't have to do that and lose pcie lanes on the gpu. The final pcie 4 slot doesn't work properly if you want to use m.2s on the lanes it's allocated.

I'm running my pedal board, instrument boost, and vocal mics to a single xlr output. Mormics lets me balance the the three inputs to a single output to the mixing board. Sound is clean with plenty of range. Great little sub-mixer. B&H service is fast and never misses.

My special 12v Power supply had a single EPS 8 pin, the Dual Xeon board required 2 x 8 pin - I tried dual Molex to 8 pin it smoked and damaged the Power Supply, LP4 to 8 pin didnt work, the only adapter that works is this EPS48ADAP brought them in from the UK thankfully they are now here in Australia

The mac mini M2 is an amazing little computer. Apple charges way too much, but considering the value in the mac mini, it's a good deal in comparison. It's fast and it's modern. And, it takes about the space of a larger hard drive. Highly recommended.
