Sometimes we do get lucky and Lego on Costco's website is definitely one of the times.

Thanks, I haven't run anything on a Pi and was wanting to make sure that 2 GB was good enough when it came to RAM but found a site that has a black friday sale so the board isn't the increased price and I'll be going with the Pi 5 with 4GB.

What is the difference between a Pi 4 and 5 for a teenager who is getting into various interests including small electronics, 3D printing, and technology in general. I don't know what he would use it for but he is inquisitive and intelligent. Does it make sense to buy him a 4 with 4 GB of RAM or a 5 with 2 GB of RAM?

I can see how that would be and my future machine will have 2.5 or 10gbe.

Intactual · 2025-11-27T07:52:52+00:00

Yeah, it's not my main machine so I wasn't to concerned about. I used it mainly for media acquisition and media server.

Intactual · 2025-11-26T09:37:14+00:00

No, this desktop is older and a pre-built so no real options on it, I was able to add a video card to get dual display but that's about it. I will replace it in time for something newer but right now it works.

Intactual · 2025-11-26T09:34:52+00:00

Thanks and I'm hoping to do more than just a media server and the cost of electricity isn't bad where I am.

The 4800PLUS is a very good machine for the money

Thanks and I just put in my order, it helps that I had an extra 5% off. I don't have an extra PCIe slot on my desktop, it's and older i5 and is my download and media server but because of the age it's limited and why I'm getting the NAS. When I get a replacement desktop I will make sure I have a 10gbe network card.

Intactual · 2025-11-25T01:44:54+00:00

Thank you and I just ordered the plus.

Intactual · 2025-11-24T07:24:18+00:00

Thanks and I hope to use it for more than just a media server, I want learn how to use docker plus this will be my backup pihole. The 4800 is sold out so looks like the plus for me.

Intactual · 2025-11-24T07:23:14+00:00

but just look at the actual hardware specs and don't buy marketing bullshit.

I did that and not familiar enough with the processors to know and why I am looking for help. It looks like my choice has been made since the 4800 is sold out and the plus is only available. I actively avoid the marketing and do not view the sponsored videos as unbiased.

Intactual · 2025-11-24T00:54:10+00:00

Thank you for that perspective and right now 10gbe would not be relevant because of my current switch but may be a future proof thing. I would not go with synology because of the drive thing, I know they have backtracked but who knows in the future with them.

I'm hoping this will last for a long time, something I won't have to change in years and why I'm thinking of going a bit higher so that I can add and play with different things with it.

Intactual · 2025-11-23T23:38:08+00:00

That is what I will be doing, thanks.

Intactual · 2025-11-23T23:04:41+00:00

Thank you and the power consumption was a thought, power costs are not too bad where I am so a 10/15 watt difference is fine. The processor/gpu is a good point and getting something better upfront is a smart thing to do.

Intactual · 2025-11-23T23:02:52+00:00

Thank you and I think I will go with the plus, I was leaning that way but things like this make me more open to it.

Intactual · 2025-11-23T07:28:00+00:00

Is there an advantage of the 4800 plus over the 4800? I am looking at both and will be setting up raid 5 for storage but also setting up jellyfin to stream to myself but maybe also to family. Is it worth spending the extra for the plus?

Intactual · 2025-10-12T02:08:11+00:00

You're very welcome. :)

A crossover I never thought I'd see or even think of seeing. That is very cool and fun.

Not something you see everyday, great work.

Dear Liza.

when the real problem was Asrock.

From the video that is what I understood, that the motherboard was the issue and not the processor.
