  • description: The Radxa Dragon Q8B is more than twice as fast, has twice the I/O, and is only a little bit larger than the Raspberry Pi 5. But it costs a smidge more, and can be hard to find. Links to things I mentioned in this video: - My SBC Reviews website: https://sbc-reviews.jeffgeerling.com - Radxa Dragon Q8B benchmark data: https://github.com/geerlingguy/sbc-reviews/issues/108 - I bought my 8GB model from ARACE: https://arace.tech/products/radxa-dragon-q8b None of those are affiliate links, and I purchased all the hardware used in this review :) Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/geerlingguy Sponsor me on GitHub: https://github.com/sponsors/geerlingguy Merch: https://www.redshirtjeff.com 2nd Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GeerlingEngineering 3rd Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Level2Jeff Contents: 00:00 - 2x everything except the price 01:11 - Picking an OS shouldn't be this hard 02:38 - First boot and usage 04:14 - Benchmarks and performance 06:37 - Hardware notes 07:15 - BIOS, UEFI, and Linux ISOs 08:14 - The big problem
