you MUST HAVE this for your Raspberry Pi

[@52Pi_Maker_Education]

That's absolutly right~ PCIe expansion can provide you with faster disk access speeds, making boot times quicker, and disk capacity can be expanded through it. You can even use B12 or B14 PCIe switches to add more devices. With our N16 4-bay expansion board, you can achieve RAID0 and RAID5.

IF there are enough pcie lanes to be able to provide the bandwidth.

[@WR3ND]

That's a 4th driver for redundancy in the RAID5? I'm more familiar with a 5 drive setup. Cheers.

[@52Pi_Maker_Education]

​@@tendosingh5682The Raspberry Pi 5 offers 5 active PCI Express lanes, four of which are dedicated to the new RP1 chip to support various I/O functions such as USB, Ethernet, MIPI camera and display, as well as GPIO. An additional lane is allocated for a new external PCIe connector. By default, all PCIe lanes operate at Gen 2.0 speeds, with a rate of approximately 5 GT/sec per lane. Currently, there is no way to change the default speed of the internal lanes connected to the RP1 chip, but the external connector can be upgraded to Gen 3.0 speeds, which will increase the data transfer rate to 8 GT/sec, nearly doubling the default speed.

[@52Pi_Maker_Education]

@@WR3ND Yes, in a RAID 5 setup, you typically need at least three drives to create a array with redundancy. The fourth drive you mentioned would be part of the array and contribute to the overall capacity and redundancy. If you're used to a five-drive setup, that would allow for one drive to fail without losing the array, as RAID 5 can sustain the failure of one drive. Cheers!

POE only works if you have a switch that has POE support. I'm happy with my Geekworm X1002 PCIe to M.2 HAT. Have 3 of these getting about 820MB/s. Regardless of which M.2 HAT you get it turns a good low power SBC into a great one.

[@fossface]

I've never had much of an issue running pihole and jellyfin at the same time on my Pi using just the SD card and an external USB drive. It's quite reliable.

[@Ipeacocks]

Is there something like this for Pi 4?

[@gcodori]

I wonder if you can get one of those NVME boards with several SATA connectors to make a faster speed NAS? You'd need to power the SATA drives, but still an interesting idea.

[@corrpendragon]

You could get an m.2 to sata splitter for super cheap. Great idea!

[@zk_6312]

Unfortunately boards like this only work with a Raspberry Pi 5. I used to be able to find an SSD m.2 adapter hat that plugs into the USB port on a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4, but that is no longer the case. So, it looks like I will have to use a Sata to USB cable now instead. Currently I do not own a Raspberry Pi 5 and I can't justify the price just yet.

[@sweetmelon3365]

Thanks, he didn't mention that this isn't for every rpi

[@rithiksidharth1123]

Hey can you make a video where you can tell the server 1 to detect changes and send the files to second local/remote server and delete the files in server one. I would like to no such process as I have 2 servers where my main data like movie downloads, projests, videos and is stored on the fastest server and my second one is slow which is only to store data and both are not allowed to talk to each other and on different subnets but on same local network and also no talking to admin which is pfsense router I set up as a firewall

The standoffs I use came from China. Only one of them came from Mexico. It's a Mexican Standoff.

I don’t mean to get jalepeño business, but I’m pretty sure it was more than just Juan.

[@stefanlodders9521]

Any way to add the Radxa Penta SATA HAT to that?

[@AlanPeery]

That speed for reading is 5X faster, not 10X. (First 17 seconds)

[@haydenc2742]

Is there a link for that cooler? I wonder if a 3D printed shroud or capton tape to direct the airflow thru the fins would increase it's cooling capability of that teeny fan.

[@TechHut]

[@52Pi_Maker_Education]

oh, sorry, the heatsink is official active cooler.

[@KomradeMikhail]

That is such a strange way to say that it is simply a combination of an NVMe HAT with a POE HAT...

[@52Pi_Maker_Education]

Power over Ethernet (PoE) module for power supply, NVMe for storage, solving two problems at once.

3:08 Why do people keep fingering connectors? 😢

[@linuxforpunks]

So now we can give our Raspberry Pi the powers of a mini-pc... by making it as expensive as a mini-pc. And propping up a bulk-unaliving regime in the process.

Do pimox next. I wrote a how to.

but it doesn't have a floppy disk drive, completely useless.

Wrong. I have a Pi. I don't need this. Clickbait titles suck.

Hello World!

That's slow my NVME using the sudo hdparm -t /dev/nvme0n1p2 come up with 801.83 MB/sec if you use sudo hdparm -t --direct /dev/nvme0n1p2 come up with 767.26 MB/sec.I'm using the Argon one V3 M.2 case.
