Hi, sudden power outs aren't good on any system, do you know if other ARM boards handle this situation better? Luckily, I didn't have any problems with my SD-card so far.
Raspberry Pi2 is widely spread and inexpensive. The performance for basic use cases is sufficient (calendar, contact, some documents and pictures). If there is a good working solution on RPi2, this can be ported to other devices as well (the other way round is more difficult). Gbit-network, USB 3.0 is nice, you could add a second hard drive for a RAID-system (isn't that what you want on a cloud?) but then you end up at 170$ instead of 90$. tflidd On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 5:24 PM, Rumesh Hapuarachchi wrote: > Agree with Suchetla about the first fact.
