See you at Open Sauce June 15-16! Apply to exhibit here:
Radxa’s Penta SATA HAT fits nicely atop the Raspberry Pi 5. Can I use it to build the ultimate Pi 5 NAS? Or will we run into issues?
This video is not sponsored, neither Open Sauce nor Radxa paid anything, nor did they have any input into this video—however I did recieve the Radxa Penta SATA HAT featured in this video for review, as well as the Pineberry Pi boards.
My build included the following (some links are affiliate links):
– Raspberry Pi 5 8GB:
– Radxa Penta SATA HAT:
– TMEZON 12V 5A Power Adapter:
– SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSD Card:
– Samsung 870 QVO SSDs: (NOTE: these went way up in price… I would recommend cheaper 2 or 4TB SSDs instead)
– ThirdReality Zigbee Smart Plug Gen 2:
You have two options for 2.5 Gbps networking, if you want it. First, for all PCIe, and stackable boards:
– Pineberry Pi HatBRICK! Commander:
– Pineberry Pi HatNET! 2.5G:
But that will downgrade the PCIe connections to Gen 2.
The second option keeps Gen 3 speed for the disks and gets slightly better 2.5G performance (in fact, slightly better than the switch), using a USB 3 2.5G Ethernet adapter. I used this Plugable 2.5G adapter:
