Introducing the Inovato Quadra to Ham Radio

Killer Performance, Killer Price – and its actually available!

Get yours here and tell ’em TO sent ya!
https://www.inovato.com/product/inovato-quadra

To benchmark performance:
sudo apt install sysbench
sudo sysbench –test=cpu –cpu-max-prime=20000 run
sudo sysbench –test=fileio –file-total-size=16G prepare
sudo sysbench –test=fileio –file-total-size=16G –file-test-mode=rndrw ru
sudo sysbench –test=fileio –file-total-size=16G cleanup
sudo sysbench –test=memory run

Then I took the answers given:

Memory = Threads fairness/events
CPU = Threads fairness/events
Disk = Threads fairness/events

Disk numbers are largely dependent on the SD card you’ve chosen to use.
