Hello there,

I’ve been running a little army of raspberry pi and libre computer lepotato for many years now.

Sometime died of overheating, one died because the microsd card failed so hard that some kind of electrical shock took off the whole pi.

I’m looking at this trend: replace that with a single or a 2 node cluster of mini pc.

The point is I still want to consume as less electricity as possible. So low TDP CPUs <10 to 15W is my most important criteria, then 2 disk bays (don’t care about the form factor or connector).

Reading buyers comments on Amazon indicates that cheap Chinese mini pc have their ssd dying quickly, or their motherboard, or their power supply, sometimes in months, not even a year.

Would you please recommend a low power mini pc please ? It may be Chinese but from a reputable brand (which I fail to determine).
