ODROID H3/H3+

ODROID H3/H3+

Finally Hardkernel brings us a replacement for the H2/H2+. The ODROID-H3/H3+ has same form factor and similar power efficiency as their predecessor. But, H3/H3+ are more powerful, and offers higher performance.

With great compatibility, a brand new x86 64-bit single board computer with large memory capacity and advanced IO ports.

Comments

Mac Hawley - November 25, 2022

I’ve purchased 2 Odroid H3+ boards from you and 1 $16 blue case.
Here are some comments…
1. The H3+ works beautifully with Windows 11 and Linux Mint Cinnamon.
2. With 16gB of Ram and a Western Digital SN570 1tb drive they are exceptionally fast.

Here are a couple of ideas I would wish for in the next iteration.
1. All USB are USB-3. The 2 that are now USB-2 could be USB-C 3.2
2. Two Ethernet ports are not needed for most users
3. WiFi 6 AX would be GREAT! and leave another available USB port.

The Blue Circuit Board case is practical, cute and retro. I like it.
I added a 60mm Noctua AF-N6 quiet fan instead of the grate.
There is no way to pass the SATA power and data cables to an SSD below the board.
I need a cutout where the ports are to allow the cables to move to the ‘lower deck’.

Thank you for building an amazing SBC at a great price!
I wish I had known about AmeriDroid before I bought the two boards.

Have A Great Day!
