Geekworm NASPi 2.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD NAS Storage Kit for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B(Not Include Raspberry Pi 4)

Note: The NASPi kit does not include the Raspberry Pi 4 motherboard, TF card and 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD.

[Overview]

NASPi is a NUC-style NAS storage solution based on the latest Raspberry Pi 4. It supports 2.5-inch sata HDD/SSD. All the Raspberry Pi 4 interfaces are adjusted to the back through the X-C1 adapter board, build in software safety shutdown function, using PWM fan can dynamically adjust the speed of the fan according to the temperature of the CPU. The shell is made of all aluminum alloy, CNC processing method, surface anodizing treatment.(raspberry pi 4 nas kit)

NASPI adopts modular design, and NASPI is composed of three parts: X823 storage shield, X-C1 adapter board, heat dissipation system(include X823-A3 metal fan bracket and 4010 PWM fan), and they will be packed into a ALU-case to get a complete NASPi;

X823 provides 2.5 inch HDD/SSD storage function(UASP supported);
X-C1 provides power management, interface adapter and safe shutdown function
For the heat dissipation system, we chose a relatively simple and practical heat dissipation solution: a custom metal bracket and a PWM fan to achieve it. in fact, you can use P165-B to get same function, but maybe P165-B will have a slight impact on WIFI.

FAQ
Q1. Will the Alu case affect the WIFI?

A: As our test, 2.4G WIFI AP was usable. But different Raspberry Pi individuals have different degrees of WIFI interference. As well as aluminum alloy case will interfere with pi 4’s WIFI to a certain extent. 2.4G WIFI maybe unstable. So it is strongly recommend to use Ethernet or 5G AP. Refer to 5G WiFi test video: youtu.be/LKJVIBQFYXs

Q2: What is the thickness of a 2.5" HDD/SSD that can be accommodated?

A: The thickness of 2.5" HDD/SSD on the market is generally 7mm, 9.5mm, 12.5 and 15mm,You only can choose 7mm or 9.5mm thickness HDD/SSD, NASPi is not compatible with 12.5mm and 15mm thickness 2.5" HDD/SSD.The thickness of 2.5" HDD/SSD should not exceed 9.8mm. In fact, most 2.5" HDD/SSD on the market are only 7mm thick.

Q3: Is it OK to use wirless keyboard or mouse?

A: According to our test, it is OK to use the keyboard and mouse. Refer to video: youtu.be/LKJVIBQFYXs, we use the wireless logitech K520 keyboard and mouse.

Q4: How to find and use the Raspberry Pi 4 5G AP?

A: Please refer to here foll
