Orange Pi Zero 3 1.5G Allwinner H618 LPDDR4 Quad Core 64 Bit Single Board Computer, Support 4K Display WiFi Bluetooth (Zero 3 1.5G)

So far so good with this little guy. It is running my 3D printer with no issues. More than enough to run several instances of a webserver and Klipper. I have been buying Orang Pis for a while now. Price and features tend to differ from traditional RPi. If youre having trouble finding a good distro for these, DietPi is your answer. Its quite minimal, but all hardware is supported for my various OPis. RPi5 does not have an external wifi antenna and can cause heartburn, most all OPis do. Get yourself a Decent SD Card.

It is a great product. My hubby loves it and works with, it functions very well. Techbguys would love it!

This SBC is a great little board for Ubuntu server, which is all I wanted it for. It is currently installed behind a router with an external port forwarded to its SSH port. This allows safe access to my network using RSA encryption. There is excellent documentation on how to get started on the OrangePi website. I have Python and gcc installed. I have no complaints or criticisms of the board. I never expect to connect a keyboard, mouse, or display. My access will be SSH only. I have three more on the way even though I don't have a present use for them. Cheap for what you get! It took a bit of time to select the image I wanted to burn and get the microSD card burner installed. Their recommended procedure worked fine. I initially used a higher capacity SD card, but then ordered 16GB cards which are more than adequate for my purpose, and easier to backup. My installation is using less than 2.3 GB of the SD card, and around 192 MB of RAM.

This was easy to set up as a Pi-Hole for ad blocking on our network. The support and on-line information seems a bit lacking, but otherwise this is a nice SBC. I put full Ubuntu on it from the OrangePi site, though I've only accessed it through ssh and the command line. I got the 4Gb version in case I wanted to use it for something else, but it is overkill for a Pi-Hole. I 3d printed a case for it and that also worked well.

Purchased the 2GB version to use for Klipper on an old Ender 3. Things appeared to be working fine, I was able to create MicroSD for OS via the pre-made images on the OrangePi site, but once I started trying to download and install packages, I'd get video corruption and kernel panics. Ran memtester and it will hang, crash, or kernelpanic above 1.4GB of RAM. I had just done a quick install and boot originally and then didn't get time to complete the project until it had already passed the return window when this started happening. Reached out to support and was told "Hi friend, Please refer to our official website's user manual to burn a mirror of our website. Thank you" I replied that I had followed the user manual and burned an official image from their website, and showed the screenshots of the problems I was still having, but have heard nothing back since 8/17 (12 days ago). Dropping to 1 star as there doesn't seem to be any support once you've passed the 30 day return window. Great price for a very capable SBC, on paper. I 3D Printed a case and added a small heatsink to the SOC and it doesn't get too hot, even with only passive cooling. The WiFi and Ethernet seem to work great and have decent speed and range thanks to the external antenna. Could be a very versatile board for all kinds of projects, but I've gotten worried about the quality control and lack of warranty/support after return window has closed. For under $40, I'm not too angry, but also wish I hadn't wasted so much time troubleshooting only to end up ordering a much more expensive Raspberry Pi 4b for my project.

did the job thanks

Downloaded raspberry pi imager, custom source the orange pi ubuntu image for this model from their downloads page, flashed it to an sd card and off I went. Works really good. It started ssh by default, default password is orangepi. It reboots so quickly...amazing. I've got docker (Plex), Apache, SQL..etc.. it's my first Pi so just seeing what all it can do. Even with all that going there's still a lot of resources available. Just wish sd cards were faster (as a whole - I bought an extreme pro but still...when you're used to ssd or nvme, microsd is slow.) But once things are running it's plenty snappy. Update: the SD slot is limited to ~23MB/s. Rough. I ended up not using Plex on it as well. I'm sure direct streaming probably works fine but I need to be able to transcode. And it can ALMOST do it...which is wild. I plan to use it as my dedicated http server I think. It will be nice to have some physical separation from services that way. Really if I had 2 or 3 of these I could basically just use a microPC for Plex and move all my other services to pi zeros.

Excelente producto buen vendedor

When you do not need a power beast but want the job done. I got more than one for DNS, lan wide ad blocking and other network apps. I will order a few more.
