Testing the Odroid HC4. Running Ubuntu Minimal 20.04 and Bitcoin Core from a 1TB Samsung 860 QVO. No SD card needed, just jam in a SATA SSD into the toaster.
Next up: bitcoin info on the 1" OLED screen.

Why is this exciting?
It makes a full node a little step easier. No more SD card, just push a SSD in the toaster case, maybe add a spinning disk for block storage. No cables needed. No USB quirks mode. (RPi4 👿)

It supports ARM v8 Crypto Extensions. This will have ~12% speed improvements for IBD. This will bring the IBD time down below 40 hours. More numbers will follow.
This SBC is $75. Add $100 for a 1TB SSD, and you have an nice little box to run bitcoin, with plenty of juice left for running other stuff as well. 1TB will last you ~10 years for block storage.
If you have smaller drives laying around, it only needs a small SSD of fast storage (~60GB) for the OS and bitcoin chainstate + indices. The bitcoin block storage (currently ~350GB) you can put on a spinning HDD without any performance drawbacks.
Next up, printing a custom case for this bad boy.
Either a citadel or a flying toaster.

And a working screen.
Next up, bitcoin status on there.
Then I have a blockclocknano.
@nvk watch out, competition just arrived.
