Not so power efficient

When you power it off the PSU remains active. In my case it consumes 8W in poweroff state.

perfect but...

I understand the comment saying there's no video output.
I received the card and all is working flawlessly but the eMMC seemed not to contain the system as announced by radxa.
Since the board has no real bios, no video output, then I had to flash a microSD card to boot using radxa rock 5 itx official debian modified release...
After that I choosed to install a community release of armbian specially designed for this chip, it's far better !
Some people believe it is not working, but it is !

One of the best boards to make a powerful NAS

I'm rebuilding my local network file server using this board. It's great with its 4xSATA. I've installed a 10 GbE NIC in the M.2 slot, and given the smart distribution of PCIe lanes (2 for M.2, 2 for SATA, hence 16 Gbps each), it's really possible to deliver data from a SATA RAID setup at 10 Gbps.

The only limitation I'm facing is the too small 8GB eMMC. Modern distros are almost 8GB in size and fit there with difficulties, while a 16 or 32GB one would not be much more expensive, which is why I'm removing one star.

Instead I've found an M.2 A/E -> B/M adapter that installs in the second M.2 connector and allows to plug a small 2242 SSD vertically to install the OS there, leaving the eMMC as the /boot partition with extlinux and kernel on it (a bit of a waste). Another approach that might possibly work would be to place /usr on the SSD, I have not tried, as modern linux distros don't support that very well anymore.

Definitely, a larger on-board storage would make everything way easier, but despite this annoyance it's a really great board that's probably unmatched in the x86 world especially in this price tag and connectivity.

It's worth having a look at forums.radxa.com to find more advices and suggestions from other users about this board once you have it (or even before buying).
