If you can get your hands on one, it can definitely boot Unraid. While still being a single board computer, it has two SO-DIMM slots for up to 32 GB of memory, a PCIe 2.0 (4x) slot for M.2 NVMe storage, and two SATA connectors. Moving up a gear, the ODROID-H2+, which is currently hard to come by due to an uncertain component supply, has an Intel Celeron J4115 processor. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any reports on whether it can boot Unraid. and is a similar size to the Raspberry Pi Model B. However, the absence of a heat sink or cooler makes it similarly sized to a Raspberry Pi Model B. Just like the Atomic Pi, it also uses an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 CPU. The Rock Pi X is another single board computer. It is significantly bigger than any Raspberry Pi, as a heat sink passively cools the CPU. At 4-15W (without any components), it uses only a modest amount of power when compared to full-blown desktop systems. The Atomic Pi has an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 quad-core CPU and is confirmed to be able to run Unraid. If you still have your mind set on running Unraid on a system comparable to the Raspberry Pi, there are a few alternatives available. Alternatives to the Raspberry for running Unraid Cheap old hardware can be found for next to nothing on second-hand sites and are perfect for testing Unraid due to its low system requirements. For a low-cost and low-power network-attached storage, you might as well hook up a hard drive to your router’s USB port. You can forget about smoothly running advanced operating systems in a virtual machine on a Raspberry Pi, no matter the host OS. If what you are after is an easy way of running Docker containers on a Raspberry Pi, you are better off using Raspbian. The Raspberry Pi has no SATA ports, limiting it to external hard drives or adapters, and until the Raspberry Pi 4 arrived, the network performance was abysmal due to the Ethernet port sharing its bandwidth with the USB ports. Why even run Unraid on a Raspberry Pi?Įvery time I see the question asked, I ask myself why anyone would even want to run Unraid on a Raspberry Pi. Even with Apple dropping Intel in favour of their in-house ARM chips, x86 systems aren’t even close to their deathbed yet. While the ARM architecture is growing in popularity, and some have already started development of ARM server chips, it will take years before we see them in the hands of individual customers. Considering only a handful of advanced users would be purchasing Unraid for ARM, this is unlikely to happen anytime soon. Would it be possible for the Unraid developers to make the operating system ARM compatible? Of course, but not without a lot of work. Unraid is compiled for x86 systems only, namely those from Intel and AMD. Unfortunately, there is no way of installing Unraid on any ARM-compatible CPU, such as the one found in the Raspberry Pi. Surely, the hardware it uses would be powerful enough for Unraid, right? Unraid has love for x86 only, not ARM Considering the latest hardware revision, in the form of the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, has a decent quad-core processor, up to 8 GB of RAM, and, for the first time ever, proper gigabit Ethernet, it does beg the question: Can Unraid run on a Raspberry Pi? After all, the Raspberry Pi foundation has started selling the Raspberry Pi 400 as a quasi desktop computer.
