I don't have room for that tinyminimicro pc case. I could fit 8 pi's in it.
> The Pi 5 can be fitted with an NVME SSD, but for me it's too little, too late. Because I feel there is a type of computer on the market, that is much more compelling than the Pi.
My pi4 has been running from an ssd for years now, no sd card. Usb3,not nvme but still good enough for my (most ?) use case.

Interesting. What likwly application of yours has 8 PIs in one case?

Not with 7 more in that case, right? :)

None at the moment, it's just to compare and put emphasis on how the case takes up too much space compared to a single pi.

Comment was more about how the pi4 could already boot and be run from an SSD (or NVME disk or whatever you put in a USB disk case).
I think, with some good cable management, we could put 5 pis and SSDs into the case though !
I'd say "more" != "too much", myself.

I eagerly await the HN post! :)
