Expert Summary

The Orange Pi 5 Plus with 8GB RAM is what happens when you take the Rockchip RK3588 and add actually useful connectivity. The dual 2.5GbE ports make it practical for network-attached storage without adapter dongles, and the M.2 slot means you can run a proper NVMe SSD from day one. For a router, or more network intensive setup that will also benefit from a decent amount of RAM, the Orange Pi 5 Plus is a good choice.
