  • I’ve been running my Aoostar R1 for over a year now, no issue at all. ~14W at idle with the 2HDD in standby. 32G RAM, a low power SK hynix Gold P31 1TB NVME. I’ve re-used the pair of 14TB HDDs from my WD NAS and recently got a pair of 12TB refurbished HDD for ca 240€ to use the old WD NAS as a backup. I run Proxmox with a bunch of LXC containers (12 mostly) of which a pair of pi-hole, pair of VPN/hardened SSH, fileserver, home automation, Logitech media server, Jellyfin etc etc etc The R1 is not that noisy, never crashed once, does not heat up and is powered through a 88.8Wh mini UPS.






  • My WH1080 weather station has a USB-A connector on the device side, I assume for the convenience of the slimmer profile.

    That’s the only natural occurrence of that cable I’ve ever seen.

    The other one was a custom board printed in 2001 at the electronics class, where I was some kind of precursor by powering it with a USB cable rather than a bulky lab power supply. As I did salvage the connector it was a A-A abomination but they had that cable at the supermarket for some reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯
