NAS Storage Choices: How to Split Work Between SATA HDDs and NVMe
The question that stalls most self-hosted NAS builds is whether to go with spinning disks or all-flash. The answer is usually not either/or but a division of labour…

Building a product on a system-on-module means handing the hardest parts — SoC, memory, storage — to the module vendor and designing only a carrier board. That saves…
When an edge device fails, the leading cause is usually not software but thermals. A box that performs beautifully in an air-conditioned server room may not survive…
In machine vision projects the camera count is usually fixed during requirements, but bandwidth rarely gets calculated first. The result is a board that drops frames…
Between the “6 TOPS” on a specification sheet and the frame rate you actually get lies an entire toolchain. Plenty of teams buy an RK3588 board only to discover that…
Put a consumer-grade development board inside a factory cabinet and it usually will not survive a summer. What industrial sites demand of a board is not “more perfor…
Over the past two years, “keep your own data” has moved from a hobbyist habit to a practical requirement for small teams and households alike. Rate limits, price cha…
In the 2026 embedded and edge-computing market, the Rockchip RK3588 remains the benchmark SoC for high-end development boards and industrial mainboards. Built on an 8nm process, it integrates an octa-core 4×Cortex-A76 + 4×Cortex-A55 big.LITTLE architecture with a dedicated 6TOPS NPU, balancing general compute with on-device AI inference across commercial displays, edge gateways and AI vision […]
Within Rockchip’s portfolio, RK3576 and RK3588 are often compared. Both use an 8nm process and an octa-core big.LITTLE architecture, but target different tiers: RK3588 is the flagship, while RK3576 is a more balanced high-mid solution. 1. Key Differences CPU: RK3588 is 4×A76 + 4×A55; RK3576 is 4×A72 + 4×A53, with slightly lower single/multi-core performance; NPU: […]
RK3588 mainboard for NAS and home private cloud, with 4-bay SATA, dual 2.5GbE and NPU for edge tasks.
