I've never seen so many screws and envelopes and boxes and stuff, all together on the same desk. Those boxes remind me ETA Beta: infinite set of things, all inside a single bag. Nice job, Dan.
Got a lot of 52Pi gear and it is all pretty decent quality, especially their ice towers! In this case though I am not happy with the 3D printed shell. For the money, it should be aluminum.
Thank you I enjoyed your video. You did confused me by calling the tower cooler a tower case, but I get it. NAS is an acronym for "Network Attached Storage" nothing to do with NVME.
Great video. Question: I've seen m.2 boards with 4 sata ports on them. If I connect that to this building. Can I use 4 sata drives if I add additional power for the drives?
Had a go at this pi-hosted project with the new pi zero 2 and a 200GB usb storage drive to see what I could do with it that would be usefull to me and settled with these apps Shell in a box,Portainer,File Browser,Transmission,Speedtest checker and Jellyfin Media Streamer. It streams music and 720p video fine . Great little low power cheap media center, the quad core makes a massive difference over clocked to 1.2ghz on the zero 2, have in the past done something with the pi zero 1 and dietpi os but had limitations on streaming video and was sluggish. Been a great learning expiereance,never knew docker was so easy and usefull in installing apps and server progarms.
I was given an arc welder. I can gauge it down to light metals. If I had that physical kit. I could make you an aluminum or thin metal case. I could possibly make the case attach in key areas inside to draw and dissipate heat from internal components keeping overall performance safer and cooler. With 52pi tower cooler. I crank up clock speed to 2’k
@@NovaspiritTech Nice, I just saw the end, looks like its pretty quiet already, thats what I am looking for!, their site says the emc issues with usb3 nvme are mitigated ? Interesting, I have absolutely no luck getting mine to work with a few usb adapters I have tried as some point my drives drop out above a certain IO speed and I wind up with corruption.. Gonna check this adapter out!
Interesting, but a NAS without harddrives? Obviously in a much lower price range yet bigger in size than my recently purchased Minis Forum PC with Intel Core i5-10210U, 16GB RAM, 256GB PCle SSD, Intel UHD Graphics, Windows 10 Pro, M.2 2230, WiFi BT 5.1, USB-C, 2X RJ45, 4X USB 3.0 and 2 extra 2.5" SSD's upto 8GB.... I will hold on to my RPi 4 in a 52Pi metal case with one SSD. Soon it will run Pi-Hosted with NAS drives in an Orico case. Thank you for Pi-Hosted!
Good review and lots to unpack. As a long term subscriber I would like to comment on your 3 camera setup. As a viewer I really hate closeups. Panning a device in front of a camera for a second is not ready helpful. Consider just using the closeup camera for important wiring connections or for components that you need to clarity. Lastly the closeup should be longer and you should use a pointer to show areas that we should be looking at. I hope I’m not ranting too much on this point but I like you channel and making to better will help everyone.
I have the m2 SSD in the 52PI board but my computer cannot recognize the media when plugged in via USB, same in linux using fdisk -l. It is a SATA M2 and not NVME, what am I doing wrong?
really love this case and how it looks ! I was thinking for some time to go for a argon case, but just didn't do it yet... might ditch argon and go for this ; it looks too good not to
The Flirc does better than the Argon. I have both, Flric running HA, loaded house, always working and the Argon is just running a no traffic website. The Argon runs hotter at idle 5C difference and the software driven fan is noticeably audible. Using an M2 on both cases. The Flirc has never come close to 80C., does a great job dissipating heat. I do like the mini tower setup, see how much we can over clock with that cooler.
A nas that could only take a single nvme/SATA M2 lol.... There's something missing! (Sadly I own the other pi Nas you featured last year the one from radaxa but it never worked and they never replaced the motherboard. Had to repurpose the pi to other project and turned an old i3 dell sff as a nas)
I'm sure others will have already said this, but that board is NOT an NVMe adaptor - it's just M.2 SATA. If you buy that and an NVMe for it, you'll be very p@55ed off. You need to get this sort of thing right because you're going to waste a lot of people's time and money if they just go by what you tell them in these videos. I have to say as well, but this case looks like a blatant copy of Michael Klements' design he put out months and months ago - and his is 'open source' with all the files available to download for free, so there's that.
I replied to your SAMETIME inquiry. Sorry I did not see it before. I do need PHASE II , FOR THIS VIDEO (EXPLAINED IN SAMETIME.. ). I NEED INTERNET SETUP AND HIGH USER ACCESS. CAN I USE OMV? CAN I SET UP WITH 4 OR 5 PI4s. (CLUSTER) and Docker. Then access volume workload be distributed between piPIs? IF I CAN… HOW DO I SETUP DISK TO BE SHARED IN CLUSTER WITHOUT BOTTLENECK? I think. Seaberry PI BOARD and their IO ADAPTERS MAY HELP. BUT I AM NOT TECHNICAL.. (SEE JEFF GEERLING VIDEO HERE ON YT).
