Who copies from whom?

[Enquiries]

First of all, thank you very much for the countless videos that gave me so much input.
You're doing a great job, you also provide important comments,
side notes and possible pitfalls - very good - keep it up!


Now about the current "AOOSTAR R7" I'm wondering who is
currently "copying" the devices from whom or who the actual manufacturer could be.
You can now find various “manufacturers” of the new R7 design on aliexpress.
For example here:

Do you have contact/information about who the real manufacturer could be?
Could the copies also be a recommendation if they came from the same factory?
Thanks alot
p.s.
could you say something to the power (VMs, NAS, transcoding) of the
4 ethernet socket variant - AMD Silve 3050E 4LAN ?

Thanks for your kind words! Regarding the "AOOSTAR R7," it's not uncommon for various manufacturers to produce similar designs, especially on platforms like AliExpress. However, determining the original manufacturer can be challenging. These devices often share similarities but might come from different sources.

As for the copies on AliExpress, it's possible that they could be from the same factory or share components, but it's essential to exercise caution. Quality control may differ between the original and copies.

Regarding the 4 Ethernet socket variant with the AMD Silver 3050E and 4 LAN ports, it sounds intriguing for applications like VMs, NAS, and transcoding. However, specifics about its performance and reliability would depend on the actual build and components used.

If you're considering a purchase, I recommend checking reviews and user feedback for the specific variant you're interested in to get a better understanding of its performance and reliability.
