    The Raspberry Pi 5 and Rock 5A Pink combo for building a budget NAS is pure brilliance! The Radxa Penta SATA Hat adds so much functionality. Thanks for sharing this amazing setup

      I disagree. The similarly priced CM3588 solution is 2.5 times faster because it's a 2.5GB NIC as opposed to this 1GB/s solution. The boards in this demo are let down by the slow NIC when it comes to storage and speed.

      You are absolutely right, as you can see in the video that I removed the USB-C cable after inserting it, the part where I removed the cable and explained that it's not needed didn't make it to the final cut. But thanks for point it out so others won't make the same mistake as I did.

    Great video. So fed up with cloud providers and home NAS costs so a great proposition,. Just a question though about fitting the Active Cooler in the Pi 5: in the Geerling and Klements videos they had to snap off some fins on the Active Cooler to get the SATA hat to fit to the Pi. You seem to use the same official Active Cooler. However after fitting the Active Cooler you have no problem fitting the SATA hat. How did you avoid this problem? Did you use longer posts or perhaps you have a later Radxa build that addresses the problem? Keen to know as not happy with snapping things!
    A more enduring concern is cooling for the storage discs, which you mention may be necessary if left in an enclosed space or a warm room. Any suggestions? I'd be happy to rest a second Active Coooler on top of the disks if it could be controlled by the Pi or OMV?

    I'm new to NAS servers but I want to make one to run PLEX for movies and music(?). Thinking I'll make something like this because of its form factor and low power usage. I'll probably use a Rock 5C because I like the idea of having Wi-Fi and BT. I like the idea of using mechanical HDDs because of cost and long term usage and storage. I know this will affect the power usage but it'll still be much less than what my Cisco UCS C240 M4 draws. Speaking of which, when setting up the 12 SAS 10TB HDDs in Raid 6, it took several days. Good thing I'm patient. Lol.

      Saw JG video and thought I'd give this a go
      Looking at tidier cable management and the PoE option sounds interesting
      I've just built the pi5 version of this with x4 1tb ssd, in an aluminium enclosure with 5v 50mm case fan + official pi5 active cooler
      Runs from official pi5 27W power supply
      Draws 7.5 W at idle with disks at 35°c & pi5 at 33°c . Temps rise by 10°c with sustained large file transfer for 20 mins and power draw is 10.5 W max
      Would like a good balance of cable management + safe temps + low noise
      I have run it with a 12v case fan and the temps dropped significantly but it sounded like a jet engine. I have a good balance with my current set-up but like the sound of the PoE, and the PoE board seems to provide enough of everything to make it viable for my small home network requirements

    Hello from Germany.
    I have a question about this.
    Does the station only work with Ethernet or can I also use the station via USB?
    What connection options do I have to access and operate the station?
    I would like to have this station for space reasons.
    I am currently using the Synology DS418 and it is already quite large, so I am looking for a smaller solution.

    • @TechnicallyUnsure
      @TechnicallyUnsure  27 дней назад

      If you want to access SMB shares and the NAS interface-such as the OpenMediaVault admin panel-connecting via Ethernet is typically required. However, if your goal is simply to connect an HDD directly to your computer via USB, I'd recommend using a high-capacity external drive, like the WD 24TB External Storage. Remember, NAS (Network Attached Storage) is primarily designed for network connectivity, so Ethernet is essential for full functionality. If network access isn't a priority, an external USB drive would be a more straightforward option. Hope this helps!

      What's the existing image? You mean another RAID image? If it's "mdadm" software raid, I think you can just move those disk to this system and it should work. Never tried moving zpool around, but that one might work too, but I personally have never tried that. Personally, I would just build a new RAID on this setup and copy all my files from the other system to the new one via rsync over ssh.
