Raspberry Pi 5 Penta SATA HAT - Up to 5X SATA Disks HAT

Bought to test if something could be done, initially was going to make a custom NAS. Changed that and replaced a pi4 (pihole ad blocker) and an HP slimline circa 2009 ubuntu server. 4 Sata SSD (1TB) and a 256GB NVMe on a pi5 4GB. also running Plex Media Server and pihole and other stuff. USB laptop sata hdd auto backup, and usb fan for cooling. The old HP slimline ran 75 watts on boot, new pi5 server runs 15 watts on boot. approx $5 /mon in savings for overall build cost of $350.

Great product at a great price! Works great with Raspi 5.

The SATA hat was absolutely a charm to work with.I built a Raspberry Pi 5 NAS in almost no time. It was extremely easy to set up, there is a lot of information on the RADXA sote as well on youtube.The sole improvement that I would suggest is the replacement of the external power port with USB-C interface.

Works as advertised

Good. Works how it's expected to. Can be powered by either of the power ports on the board OR by the USB-C plug on the pi itself. Also board does interfere with the official Pi 5 active cooler but this can be rectified by taking some pliers to 3 of the fins on the active cooler

Came without the PCIe cable, set up a return and had to order another unit, which will take a much longer time to reach me now.When I get the new unit I'll update the rating if it pans out.I'm very frustrated at this time.

Installed it on my Pi-5 8mb board with the submitted posts etc... installed my 4 HD's and went through the appropriate procedures, and it all worked fine. Suggest using an antistatic mat and wrist strap.
