Jeff, I just have to say, when a new video of yours pops up in my subscription feed, I get a little too overly sense of ease. I think, “ oh yes, just good vibes and positivity and I’m going to learn something interesting”. Thank you for all of your hard work. I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season and wish you all the best for the new year. Keep it up!
SATA is not dying. SATA is not dying. SATA is not dying. SATA is not dying. SATA is not dying. SATA is not dying. SATA is not dying. SATA is not dying. SATA is not dying.....
Yeah, for bulk storage you still can't beat the price of HDDs yet. But M.2 and Sata based SSDs are close enough in price now you can lump the two together. How long until you get an m.2 based one of these?
@@LockonKubi - It depends on capacity? Anything under 1 terabyte, SSDs are actually cheaper because of base component costs, but above 2 terabytes, HDDs are often less than half the cost per terabyte, sometimes as low as 1/3rd or even 1/4th the cost.
Sata isn't really dying... There aren't affordable NVMe drives above 4TB, but you can get affordable 20TB SATA hard drives. Maybe SATA SSDs are dying, but for "Bulk slow storage" it's still pretty alive.
Yep. I recently was browsing the internet comparing prices and wondering what drives I wanna use for a small home server. Something small around 20TB... Even going with the cheapest SSDs, by the time I reached 20TB of SSD storage within a reasonable number of drives I could have gotten 60-70TB of spinning rust.. Uhm, no, thank you...
@@shapelessed yep. I got a pair of 12tb hgst refurbished Enterprise drives for 120 last year for my home nas. Plenty fast enough for storing videos and documents.
I'm still holding out hope someone designs a drop-in board with 3.5" spacing and either adapters to mount it in old NAS enclosures, or uses some standard that many of the NAS vendors use for the spacing and mounting... Would be cool to buy an old NAS for like $30 on eBay, or get one free from e-waste, and pop in a Pi and Taco, and have the full enclosure working out of the box!
With how large 3.5’s are I honestly have a hard time visualising how you’d even safely slot them in to the board. I guess some sort of horizontal mounting with drive cages holding up the drives. Feels a bit safer just requiring some number of cables between the 3.5’s and board like it essentially needs right now
This would be much more insteresting as a board with 3.5" spacing, a PWM fan header, and a gen3 switch. Though that said, you are quickly getting to the point that a N100 NAS board is cheaper.
I use a flatbed scanner to get a clear image of a circuit board. You get high resolution image that's properly focused, if the components aren't too tall/ Then you can reduce the image size & resolution to the desired level. I scanned a lot of compents for my old websie. I still have the backup files, but mt host went away.
I'd say SATA's just getting started, you can get excellent 6-port controller cards that go in an M.2 slot. You can get hilarious amounts of SATA like that nowadays, with very cheap motherboards.
True but for these high capacity uses SAS is probably the better option. Depending on your exact needs and motherboard I can see how it'd be possible for this to win out over SAS, but generally speaking a single SAS card can get 12-24 SAS lanes each capable of 12gbps. Of course you're not going to saturate that without using splitters, but SAS is also full duplex, meaning you can be reading and writing at the same time. There just seems like way too small a niche between high capacity of SAS cards and high speed of using an NVME tbh.
Can always get/make some short SATA cables and still use this with real drives (real, in the sense that you get 30TB instead of 5TB). 5 slots would be enough for a pretty nice NAS capacity.
I find SATA still to be super handy for hobby projects and people with a smaller budget since at least on the consumer side of things, M2 slots are rare on most pieces of hardware and if those exist, things raise in pricing easily. Actually now I remember how I wanted to make my offside backup station that's sitting save in the company, eventually I went with an old Pi 3 and two spare SATA SSDs I still had which I have connected via USB. Works for me but this here is definitely cooler.
Uh, who exactly said SATA is dying? Unless motherboards started including onboard SAS controllers and I just wasn't informed, SATA ain't going nowhere.
@@Level2Jeff I'd love Sas connectors on the board with sata breakout cables instead of running a bunch of individual sata cables to them, you know without the need for a card.
BTW, PWM does not require 3 pins. The power pin is pulsed to control the rpm. The 3rd pin is the signal from the fan back to the controller to report speed.
Without a case this setup is too delicate for me. I think i saw a video where someone 3D printed an aluminum case for this but it didn't really clamp down on the drives at all.
Glad to see this product. :) I think refurb enterprise SATA SSDs are still an excellent deal and better than new consumer equivalents for people who don't need the performance or NVME or bulk storage of HDDs. I'm using them in my Proxmox Backup Server; I have a pair of 1.92 TB enterprise SSDs in a ZFS mirror that I paid $40 total for ($20 each), and each of them has a total write endurance somewhere in the 1+ PB range. :) They're not the fastest thing in the world, but the PBS server only has 2x2.5 GbE, so they're more than enough.
About five years back I did something similar for booting my TrueNAS server. I boot off of a mirror pair of 40GB Intel enterprise drives. (I’ve got 14 SATA ports so I can spare a couple.) At the time I think I got ten for ~$50 USD. It’s getting about time to go to enterprise SATA for my data disks.
A lot of recent 3.5 in HDDs are thinner than spec, i think those should work. Also, SATA isn't dead as long as HDDs aren't. HDDs are still a better $/Tb ratio than SSDs, so they'll be around for at least a bit longer.
Many M.2 drives can be run without a heatsync, however pretty much all 2.5" drives require some form of moving air if they are not using a case as a heatsync which is how most enclosed laptops work.
They have been predicting the death of SATA for almost 20 years now. The last time I spoke with HDD vendors, they suggested that SATA will continue to be around likely for at least the next decade. Yes, for home computes M.2 or similar interconnects will rule the roost, but for enterprise or datacenters SATA still holds a lot of control as it is both cheap and can be plugged into an external backplane. And unless HDD vendors want to do NVMe for rotating media, I just can't see them going away. Not to mention that NVMe adds cost to the drives, which is the primary reason that SCSI/SAS never booted ATA/SATA out of the market.
Are you sure they meant compatibility with a Raspberry Pi CM5, not a Radxa CM5? I'm not, because from a short search I could not find compatibility info on either of those... Hardware wise I really want this, it seems so much better than the Penta SATA HAT, but the hardware compatibility questions... not even getting to software support... oof.
This is a very small suggestion but on the side close up cam the Aperture seems to be a little too low that the board is out of focus while your hand is sharp.
Yeah, still working on the ideal fix for that; even at f/8 or f/11 the focus can be a problem. I wish Sony had "PCB tracking" - it seems to prefer faces, hands, etc. instead of computers!
@@Level2Jeff that was with such a low aperture?? You must be blinded by your studio lights :D Idk if this would work but maybe one can abuse the face registration feature (at least the sony a7iii has it not sure about others) to make it focus on a pcb 🤔
I meant more for SATA SSDs. HDDs will persist for a while. the SSDs will probably dwindle to only a few cheaper models as NVMe and a variety of formats (including U.2 which has come down in price, quite a bit) make their way into everything.
Strange they have asmedia switch but use jmicron for sata. Not dying when 30 and 32TB drives just released. I would have liked to see a new sata standard though that included higher bandwidth and different cable ends. The current one's are so archaic compared to something like USB C.
I'd love to run TrueNAS on something like this for offsite backups and it would be epic if there was a CM board with an IT mode HBA that could take 3, 6 or 12 3.5" drives! I guess OMV works until TrueNAS decides to figure out ARM!
I don't think I would try to stand a 3.5" HDD vertically on its connector. The weight of most HDDs is something like 1.5lbs if I recall correctly and the likelyhood of breaking the connector on the drive or the board is very high!!!!
wait, MX500 is being RETIRED?! damnit. I'm gonna have to find a new SATA SSD model to put in my infinite build ideas lol. (only half joking on the last part)
These Nvmes nowadays have a terrible pci-lanes to stored-gb ratio. we oftentimes don't need the speed Nvmes provide, but a big amount of fast enough sata ssd storage.
wait what?, SATA is a dying tech?, do we have 16tb ssd/nvme's already? and can any of you get me a 8tb ssd for less than 200 bucks? lol, i know, i know, SATA is dead as a "main stream" technology, great video as always!!!
They spaced out the SATA so there is room to stack 3.5" drives, but then they put components in the way of plugging them in directly? That's... tragic.
If M2 ssds run faster your defeating the perpas is a raid controller it would have been nice to be able to hook up a 4 20 TB hard drives to have affordable storage for a gaming server .
@@Level2Jeff Thanks, I know that. I've been commenting the same thing on your videos for the last 5 years lol. I mean the real ECC that also protects the link between memory and CPU and reports detected errors. Real ECC is not server only. Someone could build an CM5 compatible module with ECC memory. I am waiting/looking for that. Especially with anything that looks like a NAS.
Using the Raspberry Pi 5 as a NAS seems a great idea but one question I have is would hardware RAID offer better performance than software RAID? I’d have thought so…
It may, in some cases, but the difference is very small these days, with the CPU in a Pi 5. Hardware RAID can have a few small benefits in some niche use cases, but check out Level1Techs' video on hardware RAID being dead for some interesting insights!
hardware raid stopped providing "better performance than software RAID" a long time ago. Mainly because "hardware raid" is just "software raid running on a small dedicated CPU on a card". Nowadays it's mostly for better convenience or reliability than Windows own software raid, or to boot Windows from RAID.
In my very simple understanding of RAID, I thought that the PCIe on the Pi 5 would be a bottleneck ultimately as it does its magic writing data across the drives. I assumed that slower writing of this data across drives (amongst other checks) would also increase load on the CPU whereas with hardware RAID you just send the data to it and as far as the Pi 5 was concerned, job done. Obviously I’m wrong :D Thanks for the replies, appreciate the time taken to answer my question :)
SATA is far superior to NVME right now. How many SATA drives can you use on a current motherboard? How many NVME? Until CPUs have more lanes, which doesnt appear to be anytime soon, SATA is KING!
You cant just recompile stuff and expect it to work. There's a lot of features in TrueNAS that are only build for x86 like vms and containers and iX systems has no incentive to port and optimise all of that for arm.
@@artemis1825 Sir I'd like to inform you that iXsystems aren't developing thise features themselves, and both virtualization (KVM/Qemu) and containers (docker/LXC) work on a raspberry 4/5 as it has a aarch64 arm CPU. There are people that managed to manually install TrueNAS Scale on a raspberry but there are some rough edges
@@artemis1825 If you want ZFS and other NAS goodness then this has potential. The addition of VMs, Containers, Docker etc etc on a NAS is putting far too many eggs in to one basket and is not a NAS.
@@Level2Jeff yes and I hate it so much when motherboards put 3-4 pcie slots with 1 gen 5 but cheapout on the actual pcie layout. It'd be so much nicer if I just had only pcie slots and no nvme and proper bifurcation support. Then if I did need nvme I could plop in a cheap carrier board.
Not in this case - I've run iperf3 between different computers on the network (including my 25 Gbps servers) and there's never been an issue on the Mac Studio itself, or through my desktop Mikrotik switch... My best guess is the Realtek driver built into the 6.6.y kernel the Pi ships with (Pi OS 12) is a little funky.
See I just cant give a crap if its not available. I have Scarcity exhaustion. F these companies. Don't announce it if its not available. Intel appears to have just pulled the old bait and switch the B580. Prices jacking up for a card that is barely worth 250.

Not in this case - I've run iperf3 between different computers on the network (including my 25 Gbps servers) and there's never been an issue on the Mac Studio itself, or through my desktop Mikrotik switch...
My best guess is the Realtek driver built into the 6.6.y kernel the Pi ships with (Pi OS 12) is a little funky.
See I just cant give a crap if its not available. I have Scarcity exhaustion. F these companies. Don't announce it if its not available. Intel appears to have just pulled the old bait and switch the B580. Prices jacking up for a card that is barely worth 250.
no sata bye bye computers hello ai spying garbage with windows 11
Pure garbage
