Your cases are always wonderful. I'm thinking of trying yours instead of the Radxa design now!

What a nice guy when sharing whole 3d project public thank you very much

This is so good! The acrylic window and drive sleds were a nice touch.

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing it with the community!

This is a great little NAS project! Very inspiring

Thanks for sharing it with the community!

So very awesome..and the design is quite nice and ergenomic! Keep em coming!!!!

This project looks fantastic. Well done 👏

This is absoultely amazing! Thanks Michael for sharing, I will be using your case for my own PiNas!

Awesome project! This video had everything. Keep up the good work!

Dude this is awesome, great work

This looks so damn good! You did an amazing job!

Spectacular work here ! Thanks for sharing...

Beautiful project and I was unaware of that wonderful Fantek mini powered screwdriver. Thanks for including the link for that. I just bought one!

Such a neat and aesthetic design! Love it!

really cool project mate, well done! keep up the good work

Just amazing work. Congrats!

Love these pi builds from you

Amazing!! Thank so much, Please make more projects with pi5 if possible

This is so clean ! Well done

Excellent work!

Amazing Project man, great work.

The concept of NAS doesn't surprise me anymore because I've done the same thing, but I'm truly interested and like how you designed the Pi NAS case, I think it's very cool, interesting content.👍

very nice design, thanks for sharing!

Your work is so clean!

Amazing! Big fan! Thanks for sharing!

What a fantastic project, well done.

Very cool, I love the utility of it.

Thanks for this awesome video. From Portugal.

wow i love this! im waiting for my sata board and i was wondering if i needed to connect the pi 5 to power or not. this clear things up

This is so clean. I want that case

Your work keeps getting better and better with each project.

Really nice, thanks for share!

Great video! Great design!

Did see your project on Facebook, like I say there, this is awesome

Nice build!

Schönes Video danke für die Erklärung👍

Nice job. Looks great.

the build and config were very well taught and understandable. My ques can u make a video showing how to access the storage from outside the home network so you can get access to files from anywhere in the world. Thanks

Going to try 💯

Dang it. Time to build something I have no need for. Great vid!

very cool design

The Kühler is the best!😊

great work!!!

Great project!!!!

very nice build

Top notch!

Looks great

Thanks for sharing

On a side note, i liked your design for the case. I wish i had a 3d printer and all those things to actually build what is in my head half the time. The two things id offer as improvements are guides for the caddy's as you slide them in and some logo on the side. Great design in any case (pun intended lol).

This is a really cool NAS. Been wanting to make a plex NAS to take it off my PC but has 24/7 access to it.

That is really cool

This looks to be a very good solution.

This is great thanks.

That thing is beautiful

Nice build and well designed case. just finished mine, used black w neon green accents

Very nice case design. Subscribing.

nice job

awesome.... project... 👍

Impressive!

its beautiful

That's badass!

Awesome, cant wait until its possible to get the hat here in germany... Thanks for sharing the files! Is it possible to use one of the 4 drives as the boot drive and make a raid 5 with the three others?

Thanks !

Dobra Robota!

Great job- new subscriber now.

amaizing sht dude! I lvoe videos like this

Graba talaga PINAS

Can you see a way to route the power-supply to the "back" too? Cable-management etc.etc... The extruding power-button looks like something that could be pressed by accident, so why not reduce it (and the indicators) to be flush with the surface? And along the same lines - how about flat-head screws in countersunk holes to have a nice and flush exterior? Fantastic build - the acrylic window was a cool touch! Inspiring build!

I love it.

NICE!

amazing. i want it!

Excellent project! I have one small addendum. Maybe you could instead of a one big vent hole make some kind of mesh or grid and instead of screw holes some kind of pins which will hold fan as it is. I believe that something like this will ad more simplicity and back of the case will be more uniform. But in any case excellent project! Thank you!

Very good

Thank you that was very good. Amazon don't have the 5 SATA top board in stock any more. Good video. Thank you.

Nice elegant solution, now for 3,5"

I’ve been wanting to move away from Google and have my own backups. So tempted to try this. I have basically everything save for a 3D printer… the speed isn’t much of an issue since all I have is a tons of photos and they can just sync up overnight. This ain’t gonna break the bank neither but I will need to break away from my comfort zone…

Super cool, I look forward to trying to connect the pi5 and a Logitech webcam to this. I've just got all the materials and have been studying the reddit post you sent me. You think you will do a video on that?

I am half way through the video and one word that came in my mind is fabulous ❤❤❤❤ I am definitely going to follow this process to create my own (conditionally if I get hold of all the resources shown in the video 😊). Thank you @Michael for this idea and sharing your work with the community. 😊🙏

Awesome

This is amazing and so neat. I don't have a 3d printer how could I get this case?

NAS PI (Nice pie)

Have you tried PoE to get rid od the powe cable and use 2,5 GB adapter for lan and Lan port for power? It the power from PoE sufficient? . Great job!

That case is top tier! Looks great and I love the drive sleds. Are the drives hot-swappable with that hat? One small critique: I think the window might be better on the opposite side. That way it's seen from the front of the NAS (the side with the drive activity lights) and also shows the front of the SSDs. Thanks 😎

This is very cool. What was the cost for all the bits?

Can you make a case for the set up have POE between the NAS hat and PI 5?

How much did all of these cost you? Great video!

Cooooooooooooool!👍

I would like to see that case on your etsy store!

Your fan from active cooling works fine? Mine only works at the startup, after that I never listen the fan

Wow!

Great build and I would love to try this but the SATA HATs aren't available anymore cant find them.

I would love to see a USB C powered version of this that also includes WiFi 6 connectivity. It would be the ultimate version of this little guy.

i would have added a bottom fan that would do even better cooling. where air will flow from bottom and exit from top cooling every thing in that NAS.

Buenísimo

This was a big help. I recently received a Penta SATA Hat. I've printed your case and it works great. I plan to use this as a single sata boot drive and the remaining 3 in raid for a media server. One problem I ran into is that I'm unable to boot from this sata hat. Any idea how I could accomplish this?

The performance unlock for sure is the 2.5G network interface. Glad to see that is a surmountable unlock for performance. It would be interesting to see what would happen if you had a USB dongle with even more bandwidth to see if the underlying compute hardware can keep up. This has gotten me curious about 3D printing. What printer do you have? This looks fun!

Question , what is the cpu utilization and ram utilization while using 2.5gbps usb nic adapter? Does it max out pi or is there headroom?

Looks great and sounds fun! Could you possibly use this in a scenario where i want to attach this to my router so if say i scan documents on a printer and would like to save those documents could i do that with this project ?

Upgrading from the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W to a Raspberry Pi 5 with a Radxa Penta SATA HAT significantly enhances your NAS's performance and storage capacity. Here's a summary of the key points from the project: ### Components Used: 1. **Raspberry Pi 5**: The main board for the NAS, significantly more powerful than the Pi Zero 2 W. 2. **Radxa Penta SATA HAT**: Allows connection of up to five SATA drives via PCI Express. 3. **Cooling Solution**: Pi 5 active cooler, with some modification needed to fit with the HAT. 4. **Storage Drives**: Crucial drives, chosen for a balance between cost and quality. 5. **Micro SD Card**: 32GB SanDisk Ultra for the operating system. 6. **Enclosure**: Custom-designed and 3D-printed using Fusion 360, includes cooling and easy drive access. ### Building and Configuration: - **Cooling**: Modified the Pi 5 active cooler to fit with the HAT. - **Power**: HAT supplies 5V to the Pi through GPIO pins; it also has options for a 12V barrel jack or an ATX mlex connector. - **Enclosure Design**: Designed for vertical arrangement, includes trays for easy drive swaps, and cooling fans. - **Operating System**: Raspberry Pi OS Lite with OpenMediaVault (OMV) for NAS management. - **Assembly**: Included brass inserts for durability, glued windows, and used clear PET for LED bar. ### Performance: - **Data Transfer Speeds**: - With gigabit Ethernet: 112 MB/s read/write, saturating the gigabit port. - With 2.5G Ethernet adapter: Up to 260 MB/s write and 200 MB/s read, showing significant improvement. - **Power Consumption**: Extremely efficient, with idle power usage at 9W and under load at 12W, much lower than typical NAS setups. ### Additional Features: - **Enclosure Design**: Split into two halves for easy assembly and printing, with an option for a window to view drives. - **Cooling**: Included a 40mm Noctua fan with a dust filter for effective cooling. - **Drive Configuration**: RAID 5 setup for a balance of capacity and redundancy, providing 3TB of usable storage. - **Network Setup**: OMV accessed through a browser, with guides available for detailed configuration. ### Improvements and Future Enhancements: - **2.5G Ethernet**: Raspberry Pi 5 lacks native 2.5G Ethernet, an area for potential improvement in future iterations. - **Drive Access**: Designed with easy access and replacement of drives in mind, useful for maintenance and upgrades. ### Conclusion: Your upgraded NAS project significantly improves performance, storage capacity, and power efficiency. It's a well-thought-out build that leverages the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi 5 and the Radxa Penta SATA HAT effectively. The custom enclosure design and the thoughtful integration of cooling solutions make it a robust and practical NAS setup.
