Orange Pi really should set the default boot order to be SD card, USB and then NVME. This would solve so many silly issues.

[@79ober]

Great Lee, happy that the MakerDisk NVMe works for your setup, and of course happy on the speed test too.

[@PriestPoppy]

Great job showing that up

[@varickerickson6377]

The menu at 9:54 can be reached by using armbian-install on command line. This is different than the Armbian-config that is found using the standard OS search. Took me some time to figure this out.

[@Kw1161]

Thanks Lee for the video, and great information. PS. I see you never click the cookie warning tab also….😂! Have a nice day.

[@Nobe_Oddy]

THANK YOU!!! I have been thinking about which boards can do what speeds and which is best..... I THINK I had mentioned something like this to you way back when you got the Orange Pi, but , or maybe I just thought it to myself lol 🤷‍♂

[@Nobe_Oddy]

Glad you got it working... I started copy/pasting instructions when I was only about 1/2 way through the video... but then I unpaused and realized you already got it done... lol WOW THAT IS FAST!!! but you gotta try it on the larger size nvme because it uses 4 lanes and not just 2 like the smaller one (compare the labels ... Gen 3 x2 vs Gen 3 x4 ) I hope you run the same tests on the same drive and the SAME OS (if possible.... I doubt it tho) but on the Raspberry Pi when you get the CM4... heck you could always buy mine if you want.. I don't use it .... shipping might be a LOT tho LOL :)

[@BrianThomas]

Great video. Thank you

[@qzorn4440]

Great NVMe information. 🥳 The Raspberry Pi4 vs the Orange Pi5 is a little bit like a 6 cylinder vs a V8. So far my OPi5 runs things about 2 to 4 times faster than the RPi4. Next I need to try out the ARM Mali-G610 GPU and NPU if you’re wanting to run AI. Now there is a Orange Pi 5 Plus 16GB Rockchip RK3588 8 Core 64 Bit and a Orange Pi 5B 4GB Rockchip RK3588S 8 Core 64 Bit Wi-Fi6, BT5.0 😎 The Rockchip rocks. Thank you.

Great video Lee! What SBC do you recommend for getting into Linux like Archlinux?

[@terrydaktyllus1320]

I wrote a long and helpful reply to your question here but I am unable to post it because YT's crazy algorithm keeps deleting the comment. It would seem that YT doesn't like the fact that as a cyber-security consultant in my day job, I talk a lot about that word that rhymes with "packers" meaning "the bad people that break into computer systems" in other channels and seems to then target innocent comments I make containing some word combinations it does not like. I've tried four times now to post the comment by making small alterations each time but YT keeps deleting and I give up now. I really am getting sick of fighting against YT's algorithms when I really just want to answer some comments and genuinely help people like yourself. I have no idea what combinations of words in my comment offends their stupid algorithm when all I am doing is talking about SBC manufacturers and Linux distros! It's ridiculous that this YT monopoly behaves this way.

[@leepspvideo]

If you don’t want to spend a lot initially the Orange Pi 5 is very reasonable but doesn’t have WiFi or Bluetooth. I have a playlist on Orange Pi 5 Everything Orange Pi 5 / 5B kzbin.info/aero/PLMJAjiTgBtFn7JSmTE73mj9u_r_6ijuqj The Orange Pi 5b does have WiFi and Bluetooth but you lose nvme (very fast storage). The Pi 4 is the best supported by way of community support and official Linux builds but is not as powerful. The Pi 5 should be out next year. Everything Raspberry Pi. Over 500 Videos kzbin.info/aero/PLMJAjiTgBtFnaITgDfjTnsL9RlnyPTl7M There are many RK3588/s devices available almost too many I have been sent excellent hardware from Mekotronics and Khadas in this playlist SBC computers not Raspberry Pi kzbin.info/aero/PLMJAjiTgBtFn1PN_DZA1SEe6qzGUjHOn0 Before you buy one just make sure the software you wish to run is supported on the exact model you choose. X86/X64 devices are much better supported than ARM devices but do use considerably more power.

[@isaacolukanni]

@@leepspvideo Thanks!

[@nicoallen6097]

Great video, as always. What are your thoughts on the new Orange pi 5 plus? 😊

[@leepspvideo]

I have one being sent to me soon. It looks like another great product.

[@daniel-nguyen]

Damn, was really hoping this was the video you were going to do on installing Android to the internal NVME, I’m still having issues lol. I’ll try again with what you did, but i have a feeling it still won’t work, hoping you do video on installing Android 12 onto the NVME sometime soon.

[@willatherton6182]

Did you follow the Android NVME install instructions from OrangePi? I followed that and it worked.

[@daniel-nguyen]

@@willatherton6182 Been trying different tutorials and videos for the past week, but as was shown in this video, it appears there are a lot of variables that can prevent it from booting successfully from the internal NVME

[@leepspvideo]

Later today. 👍🏻

[@daniel-nguyen]

@@leepspvideo Thank you Lee!!!

[@willatherton6182]

I had success with a combination of the guide from the link below, the creator’s written guide and the OP5 instructions. Looking for to seeing @leepspvideo video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp_LpaSjn72ieKc

[@Nobe_Oddy]

Heyyyy..... that's the WaveShare CM4 board that I have :) except mine has a button battery on it (that I can't seem to remember to buy lol) - I'm pretty sure THAT is the BEST Raspberry Pi board you can test nvme speeds on..... it actually runs on the PCIe bus where as pretty much ALL the other boards I had looked at just used the USB ports .... - As far as the Rock Pi boards I'm not totally sure...but it would be nice to compare them :)

[@leepspvideo]

Cytron may be sending me a cm4, so I can finally try it out. 👍🏼

[@willatherton6182]

I got Android installed on the NVME based on the OP install instructions. Other YT videos outline the process too.

[@leepspvideo]

I have an Android installation on nvme video later, with a strange result..

[@willatherton6182]

@@leepspvideo Looking forward to seeing that. I’ve been trying to get Batocera on my NVME and have had problems the entire time. I was told to just boot the OP5 Arch OS, use etcher on the NVME and clear the SPI flash. Not sure I have the courage to reattempt it at this stage.

[@leepspvideo]

@@willatherton6182 the boot fix in this video should work with Batocera as it Linux

@@willatherton6182 the fix in this video should work as Batocera is Linux

[@willatherton6182]

@@leepspvideo Good deal! You are doing amazing work for the OP5 community. Look forward to seeing where this all goes.

[@Nobe_Oddy]

If you look at the label of the MakerDisk nvme's the larger one is Gen 3 x 4 but the smaller one is Gen 3 x 2 ... so half the speed..... BUT I don't think this will make ANY difference with ANY of the Raspberry Pi boards (even the CM4 ... which I THINK uses PCIe Gen 2 x 2...but I'm not 100% sure off the tope of my head) .... BUT it MIGHT on the Orange Pi and/or Rockchip boards... I THINK the Rock Pi 4 does Gen 3 x 4 .... but you are better equipped to figure all that out...

[@Shuna322]

"I couldt find any reffrence to it on the Argon site" Litterally misses first suggested product at 3:19 😅

[@leepspvideo]

Yep that’s embarrassing 😳

[@AnakChan]

I've been running the Argon M.2 SSD for the past year and I've noticed the NVMe version in at least the past 8 months too however couldn't find any reviews/evidence of Pi being able to boot off NVMe. Glad to see that you've found the Argon NVMe version too and with your test above (although not Pi nor Argon) gave me confidence to order the Argon M.2 NVMe to try.

[@zalip4129]

could you please add a comparison table at the end of the video?

[@voidgguy]

Thnks for video

[@foobarbarfoo2377]

I confirm that the M.2 adapters from SupTronics have some problem handling power input and just break: missing some current / voltage safe guard on the board?

my orange pi 5 board no longer boots after the sd card, nor after the ssd m2, the red LED remains on. How can I solve this problem?

[@leepspvideo]

Not sure, try some of the different operating systems in this playlist. If none of them work it may be a fault Everything Orange Pi 5 / 5B / 5 Plus kzbin.info/aero/PLMJAjiTgBtFn7JSmTE73mj9u_r_6ijuqj If it’s still not working try the Orange Pi forums. I take it you have an Orange Pi 5 not a 5b or a plus?

[@user-cg5xv4zz2b]

question for the gurus. can I have only the boot ( partition/loader ) on an sd card and is the boot loader smart enough to go get the rest of the O/s fromn usb/nvme usb could be usb keydrive or a usb ssd

[@user-cg5xv4zz2b]

why, I do not have to worry about flash of spi and make sure I can load full sd cards or sd cards as boot disk only. Sorry, I have supported many UNIX's over the years ( including linux ) but booting on orarnge pi is new to me and I am not sure how boot loader looks for o/s ( uuid, device file, etc )

[@James_T_Quirk]

The Orange Pi 5 Plus 16GB may solve the issues, I have a couple arriving soon ..
