Another edition to your collection! Very nice. You should do a quick update on all the pieces in your museum. 😅 (make a short video, call it my pi museum) Have every pi out on a desk, or bench.
They missed a trick here. With the size of their board they could have included an adapter board that moves the USB-C and HDMI ports to beside the Ethernet port and make the HDMI full sized. Then put their USB-C power in port on the side underneath this new USB-C. This would look a lot cleaner and not even take up any more desk space.
This suggestion is excellent. I will convey the information to our technical development team and have them try to improve it to the way you expect. Thanks
You can also get synthetic (nylon maybe?) stand-offs that are less likely to scratch thing if you use them as feet. I boult a package of them for that purpose.
All very interesting but the investment in this setup must be close to £200 now even without the nVME drives! Please let us know what you have spent. Thanks 😁
I thought about cutting the head off a long screw and then twisting the long threaded part halfway into a standoff with glue. The passive case I have requires four long screws comming in from the bottom of the case.
I have a question, I have seen many NVME adapters and I understood that if the card has 1 slot for the NVME disk is managed with a PCI-E Gen 3 band, the cards with 2 slots for NVME disks, each disk is managed with a PCI-E Gen 2 band. On this Adapter if 1 slot or 2 slots or 4 slots are used at what speed do they go ?
The only thing stopping me from using this is there isnt a case that can hold it properly. I'm not putting ~480$ worth of nvmes inside a wide open/exposed pcb for every day use so it can be taken out by inevitable esd. The other quad m.2 adapter made by Geekworm is utter garbage even with a 5v 8A power supply. Try using ZFS to do a Stripe or mirror.
Would love to see how fast nvme raid 0 on the pi is if you get multiple identical drives. I know that anyone using this as a little server would likely want more redundancy but it’s always cool to see a tiny pi go faster.
@@leepspvideo yes, it may caused by the Ice tower cooler, the original setup is coming with Armor lite V5 heat sinks, so that the screws and copper pillar may be different, and we are going to check if the copper pillar's fault, it is a little bit longer maybe, and the mounting stander may need add to the kit for SSD 2242 fixing.

Great video Lee. Q: I noticed that "raspi-config" version: 20240708 has the option to enable PCIe Gen 3 speeds under "Advanced Options" but I haven't seen anyone online mention this "new" option. Any thoughts?
yes,but you need to put the batocera to slot1 and setting the boot order to NVMe booting, and then, build a RAID5 for other 3 SSDs and mount it to the rom location, after that, you will get a big mass storage for your gaming system, yeah!
One of the draw backs to this board is ordering a case. 52PI doesn't make one that will fit and neither does anyone else that I have been able to find so far. I have a 7inch screen that I would love to mount it all to for a project. If anyone knows of anything that might accommodate please let me know.
@@52Pi_Maker_Educationbut what is it capable of? I'm guessing there must be a pcie switch chip on the board, does this chip support gen 3 speeds, or only gen 2 like on the geekworm X1011?
@@markmagness4780 Yes, the PCIe chip on the board supports both Gen 2.0 and Gen 3.0, but the Raspberry Pi official certification only covers Gen 2.0 speeds. Nevertheless, it is possible to force the use of Gen 3.0, as demonstrated in the video. Although Gen 3.0 is forced, the speed is as shown in the video. This board allows your Raspberry Pi to have more disk space and you can set up your own RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 5 using software RAID. However, some people might argue that software RAID is not as stable as hardware RAID cards. This might be considered pushing the Raspberry Pi's PCIe performance to the limit, I'm not sure.
Hmmm? Bad luck I guess. I bought one and it could recognize all of my drives. It only picked up one and wouldn’t let me install anything to it or access it. Returning for a replacement, hoping it was just defective. I really want this to work
You don't need to boot from the Micro SD card anyway. You can boot from a RAID partition provided you load the appropriate RAID module from an initial RAM disk first. Alternatively, if you have, say, 4 NVME drives of 1 TB each, you could take, say, a 1 GB partition of the beginning of each of them, use one for booting as a non-RAID partition and use the other three for swap space - that will leave you with 4 equal sized partitions that you could use for software RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 or 10.
I doubt such a board will be made, hardware RAID tends to be reserved for servers in the commercial space. There is nothing wrong with software RAID under Linux, I have used it for years.
The question is. Is there a “tested drives list” for the quad board in this video. I can’t find one or much of anything on this board. Trouble shooting via RUclips thread doesn’t seem to work when replies go missing and/or lost. Yes the Teamgroup NVMe drive works as a bootable drive on my geekworm x1002. I have another auto mounted in the usb slot. When I remove the geekworm and install this quad board the bootable NVMe does not boot it does not boot. So … When I boot from the SSD slot with the quad installed after configuring the config.txt file then running lsblk there are no drives listed after the SSD. Doesn’t matter how many nvme’s or in what order I try, nothing. Btw the raspiOS I’m running on both NVMe and SSD is your kde plasma

I'm curious if this setup can be in a rack. I'm in the process of getting several Pi 5s in a rack, and this would be brilliant.

Thanks, and you can try to build RAID5 or RAID0, even RAID1 on it.
I'm a fan of a Pi NAS but M.2 is going to restrict the size somewhat.
Another good video Lee,is it possible to pick which Nvme to boot from or do you always have to manually move the drives around.

absolutly yes
