A silent Orange Pi server running around the clock on 3 watts
An Orange Pi 3B+ with 4GB of memory can run developer services and personal from a 256GB . The drive is divided into separate areas so several services can run at the same time, and the data is also backed up to another location. The system uses about 3 watts, has no fan noise, and can stay on around the clock.
It is much slower than larger servers fitted with several s, but it can handle basic and routine jobs. Its storage connection is also slower than the high-speed connection available in a full desktop computer.
