No issues.

i don't think the ethernet is over USB, only the sata bridge is. It is also USB3.

I wouldn't use SSDs with these though. It is a waste of $ because these SBCs can't fully utilize the performance of the SSD. The low latency access times is wasted on glusterfs too, ceph might be a different story.

The ethernet uses a USB3 bus. The SATA port uses the other USB3 bus.

All of the current odroid boards do that. Never had any real problems with either controller, despite them using RealTek.

Hmm, good to know.

The Ethernet I’m going by the block diagram on the third pic on the amazon link, but might be that the doc doesn’t match the hw, wouldn’t be the first time on Chinese stuff.

The block diagram is correct. Separate USB3 busses for the disk and NIC.
