upgraded my NAS a little bit. after i corrupted the zpool a few times by hotswapping the enclosure's USB between the raspberry pi status checker and my laptop, i decided to get a switch and network everything up instead. the raspberry pi controls the zpool, with access to it going from my laptop and my desktop. also got a free ethernet cable so i can upload software to my other project raspberry pi if i need to
the other day i was running some benchmarks (unixbench) on the various raspberry pi's i have, maybe some of you here might find it interesting:
raspberry pi 4: 474
raspberry pi 2: 382
raspberry pi zero: 74
for some reason, the parallel part of the test on the raspberry pi 4 just didn't happen, so that might affect its score. my laptop has a score of 3039 (i5-8400H @ 2.5GHz) as a frame of reference
i've been working on some projects on the raspberry pi 4 recently, and its fast enough to handle using a webapp through firefox while doing image processing (barcode scanning) in the background, so these things are actually like really powerful these days. my other raspberry pi 4 handles my NAS backup, and it can handle like 50-60 MiBps through ethernet. really loving these raspberry pi things
