3rd, 5th has some issues and it is hard to find Images, with 3rd you can go to e.g. [Armbian](https://www.armbian.com/cubietruck/). Also I bought already 3 of them (for different Houses) in a second market and it is much cheaper as a new one.  
It is all in one - SATA with battery support, lower power consumbption and 2GB RAM. But it is quite slow CPU and SATA limited to something that I need to google. So, if you have optical connection and want to have best experience with Nextcloud - I would say go to RockPro64. For other services it is perfectly enough also via Gb networks.
