I don’t have a VIM3, so this is just a guess. According to my data 
, the distribution of the real speed (with the active use of read/write when compiling large projects) on S922 is about this. SD cards, eMMC, USB 3.0 (obviously good media that meet the parameters of USB 3.0), NVMe. This is not a 100% guarantee of such behavior, it is only a General trend and much depends on the specific parameters of the equipment used.

So if I understand well the contest, the normal price of vim3 (basic or pro) are 40$ more than current displayed price. The contest offers great discount, but I’m a bit disappointed compared to the price of Odroid N2.
The main advantage is the nvme port even if the single lane will limit performance and I agree that a version with sata ports will provide be a great NAS solution.

The cooling fan is not a must for your use case due to the 12nm SoC process.
Have fun!

When you did step #2, your email was registered in our system. It would be best if you put that email address into #3, along with your friend’s order #. Don’t re-use your own order #, as we can tell that it’s yours. 
haha oh… i misunderstood #3

Hey guys I have two-three questions about the Khadas VIM 3.
Maybe @tsangyoujun can give a bit more details on this topic.
The other day there were these two or three locked pictures of additional VIM 3 models that should be released in the future, can you guys explain for what this is? All I can think in my head is a MAX model with more eMMC.
Also it says the following:
*LPDDR4 or LPDDR4X RAM will be selected randomly during manufacturing.
I am a bit confused why it says this, I know there are some randomization in processing from time to time, but doesn’t this mean that the boards will actually be different when one ram module type is picked over the another, because as far as I know they are not backward compatible? Also it can make a huge difference if you want to use the model in a portable setting, or something like @NicoD use case.
Lastly, are there any temperature differences numbers available between different use-cases with heatsink and with and without a fan?
Thank you!
