I considered Pi boards as gimmick at some point. Today I'm amazed how versatile it is.

in fact, the real consumption of such a blade is about 6-7 watts. The margin is needed for peak operating frequencies

Hi Meocle,

Awesome idea. Any idea if or when it will be available for purchase? Looking to build a low cost cluster and this is ideal!

Regards,

The full rack can contain 22 of the carrier boards, for a theoretical maximum of 167GB of RAM and 167TB of storage depending on the configuration of your Compute Module 4.

I do believe there’s a bit of a typo here. I think that would be 176GB of RAM, and up to 704GB of storage, unless there are now compute modules offering 8TB of eMMC.
