Super Cheap $20 NAS, Media Streaming and More with an Orange Pi Zero

- In this video I show you a $20 Network Attached Storage solution made up of an Orange Pi Zero and a USB to SATA Adapter. I benchmark it and show you what a $16 SBC can do, streaming to Kodi or Jellyfin or just backing up files over Samba (SMB).
Hey, now that they have the OrangePi Zero 3 with 4GB RAM, maybe you should revisit the project
Just ordered an Orange Pi Zero 2 today and I plan on doing something similar.
I already have an old PC repurposed as a NAS but I wanted something less power hungry that I could leave on 24/7 and the Orange Pi Zero 2 seemed like a nice solution.
Seeing as your regular Pi Zero seemed to do just fine, I'm hopeful the Zero 2 will perform even better.
GREAT STUFF... would love to see the zero2 video .. and more Orange Pi projects !!!
I like your kind of out-of-the-box thinking. For years I've been playing with the idea to have a mobile, battery powered local media streaming for my three kids in the car. My latest prototype setup is a odroid hc1 and a mango travel router running off a power bank. Using jellyfinto serve out the files. I hope we see some more of your thinking.
Thank you for the kind comment. Your idea sounds interesting, technically you wouldn't need a battery, you could convert your 12v cigarette lighter to whatever you wanted. I wish there was a power efficient processor that could do what we wanted. Cool idea!
But how did you do it?
Can you make a step by step tut?
Next make a file server out of an old phone
I'd love to see you make a tutorial on a portable wifi enabled media server with an Orange Pi Zero 3.
I'd even give you a device for a good tutorial and video.
I would love to see this too
I'm sorry for this reply being late but I just figured it out and am putting the video together. Stay tuned.
@@GrafickStudios please link it in the thread when ready!
@@GrafickStudios any updates?
You 'designed' a case ;-)
HI what kind of adapter did you use from the board to the usb sata adapter? thank you
Hi, have you any details, tutorial about the build? Actually, there is one thing Im not sure: whats the power supply of the ssd? The orange pi?
Whats the usb C that has been added?
Fun fact: my name is Patrick
I really think that you might be onto something here.
anyone tried a 4k movie off a pi4 on a 4ktv... dropped frames everywhere
Did you just 3D print that case?
Yes, designed it in FreeCAD and printed it on my Aquila.
@@GrafickStudios Have you considered sharing that design so others might reproduce the project in its entirety? That would be a nice touch.
Can it handle jellyfin + rclone as library?
if the pi is not transcoding files can it stream x265 content normally? i tried doing my own research and now im more confused than before
Yes, it doesn't care about codec. It's just uploading data to you. The end device (that you're watching on), like your phone, computer, or firestick would need to decode the x265, which a lot do now. But that's only if you have a basic setup like me (http server or samba server), I'm not talking about Jellyfin for example (which you can disable transcoding btw) but won't run on the older Orange Pi Zero LTS I believe, haven't tested this though.
What are you running on your SBC?
If I remember correctly, I think it was Armbian 22.05 Bullseye. It doesn't really matter imo, I find the official images from orange pi work just as well.
@@GrafickStudios Thanks.
If I could follow up, are you just doing SMB shares or are you running some kind of NAS software on top of Linux?
@@JohnSmith-gs4lw just smb shares and nginx (webserver), I try to keep things light.
Thank you for the video I’ve been searching the net just to know which pi (as cheap as possible) i need just to stream movies from the net to my TV Can you or anybody else answer me that I will appreciated so much 🙏
Personally I don't recommend any "pi" directly plugged into a TV, I'm not saying you can't do it. I use Amazon 4k Firesticks because the performance is excellent for streaming.
I absolutely do NOT want Amazon spying on everything I do on my own computers, on my own network.
@@scottwilliams895 yeah definitely true. What do you use instead?
I mean it would work for me tho
If it was USB 3 then we would be talking about something. Wait ... What? Did you just say USB 3.0?
