Building the best Raspberry Pi NAS - Wiretrustee SATA
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 06. 2021
- I've built a few Raspberry Pi NASes in my day, but none were this nice.
The Wiretrustee SATA is listed on Crowd Supply and will allow you to plug in a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 and up to four SATA hard drives or SSDs to build your own gigabit NAS.
**UPDATE**: I just heard Wiretrustee is postponing production of this board for now due to component shortages and huge price spikes for some of the most important parts :(
They still have an open source repository (github.com/wiretrustee/cm4-sa...) with designs for some of the parts like the enclosure and heatsink, and I'm really hoping they'll be able to get production up and running soon, because this is such a neat board!

The day I finished editing the video for the Wiretrustee SATA, the folks behind the board announced they were postponing production because of the component shortage-some parts, most notably the SATA controller chip, had increased in price dramatically, and would only be available in small quantities.
You can still sign up for updates on the Crowd Supply page, and I'm still hopeful this product ships, since it's the simplest and most compact SATA NAS board I've seen for the Pi.
Subscribe so you don't miss out on some other really amazing boards I'm testing right now!
Yeah it's hurting a lot businesses around the world. I know of one who has products waiting to go but doesn't have the numbers for them.
Understandable. The last time i got interested in a Pi SATA board it was sold out. Hopefully, these things are orderable, some day!
Yeah the shortages are holding back a few projects Skycoin talked about this as they are building Skyminer 2,0 boards for their meshnet project and also a NAS among other things they are making.
Just my 2cents, not to mention the shortage of components (I think most of them is just tricks to bring up the price). it's better to wait for them to fix the problem or changed the hardware to latest one, everyday Mouser have new chips out, may help to make the hardware more powerful.
Congress says they are going to fix the component shortages.
That thing is adorable!
I hear that quite often
🤨
As always, they’re Jeff
@@DETERNET very good
More small home lab work, I recently got a 10u network rack and need some cheap equipment.
Jeff's never ending Raspberry Pi NAS saga continues..
Don't worry, I still have more to come!
@@JeffGeerling we’re counting on it :)
No worries Jeff, we are happy for today’s video, I’m interested in seeing this project completed, no pressure Jeff. 🙄. It takes time to make something great 👍🏼
A bit off-topic but did you know the guy who started the Ceph storage project is a real Sage ? :-)
Shouldn't it ideally have 5 slots, for RAID5, etc.? I'm a RAID 0+1 guy, myself (which is NOT RAID 10)...
I also would've thought about a jumper to enable those USB ports, but, that's me being nit-picky...
Jeff, I like this newer, relaxed style. It’s a lot more like you’re teaching live in the lab. Keep the great vids coming.
Thank you for perfectly simulating the difficulties the rest of us would encounter trying to assemble it.
Thank you for all the open source work you're doing!
This is the best Pi NAS setup I have seen. I'm very interested in this.
Okay, that is almost everything I wanted 😂
I'm really stoked on what RPi and the community is able to pull off!
Oh man! We gots some competition!
A product like this could fill in the gap I see on the low end, for a low-featured 1 Gbps product. Maybe ASUSTOR would like to build a CM4-based NAS someday? ;)
I still use and love that Lockerstor 4 you guys sent my way a few months ago. It's a great mid-range option!
@@JeffGeerling Not ruling it out!
Come on guys get a board like this with a celeron 4125 out and have a case for the drives standing up hot plug and have synology and qnap have a run for their money !
The click it makes at 4:10 when you secure the Pi module in place must be the most satisfying sound I've ever heard ^_^
Omg, the English word, "satan," translates to "Satanas" in Spanish. When I saw the video icon (SATA NAS) I was like, "What does computing have to do with the devil?"
Computers are the devil's work.
@@KameraShy …
@@tanchunyong3418 he was made a funny jk?
Captions changed it to satin ass lmao
This happens in Portuguese to, when I saw the thumb I thought the same thing, "this man doesn't know what he had put" like a SATA with NAS server. But also say the devil name in other languages. . . Like, what's the chance from this to happen?!!
Love the Trogdor shirt! Your credibility is now off the charts.
Amazing job, I hope to see very soon your Compute Module 4 SATA
👏🏼 😎 Very cool! When the bugs are ironed out this is going to be in lots of people’s homelabs. A 140mm fan would be a great footprint for a 3D Printed case for this!
At first I thought it was going to be another generic raspberry Pi USB NAS...
This is something I actually am interested in ... saving for later!
SATANAAAAAASSSSSSS
Jajajaja
jajajajajaja
HUE BR
Rad shirt, dude! TROGDOR!!
Now I have the song stuck in my head. :D
I really like the whole concept as a Raspberry Pi enthusiast. But for the price combined at this point, I would rather go for a (slim) mini itx x86 CPU onboard solution. Which is much faster as well. Or just a dedicated ready NAS.
But extremely nice idea 👍🏻😉
FINALLY! been waiting for a long time for somebody to design it. I want one! lol.
Cool! Looking forward to seeing throughput tests.
I've been planning out a plex and a home nas for months. This. Is. It.
There are other options in PI that I might pursue, but I am all about this so I hope they can get back to production sometime soon.
Thanks for the share!
Thanks for showcasing this Jeff.
The mechanical design leaves a little to be desired, and I'd like to see an open hardware hot swap rack that could take this board and others. There's a few racks that will accommodate 2.5 and 3.5 disks already, but they come as a complete system, so not so useful for a diy build. The board itself looks like a great start, and I hope to see others follow suit soon (ASUS?)
What a shame the worldwide chip prices are all over the place at the moment. Part of it seems to be down to the pandemic and other logistic impacting events, but another part seems to be related to the demands of crypto mining. This rather inflates (artificially) the prices all round with those with enough resources to hoard hardware, and therefore pushing out consumers and enthusiasts wishing to make but the simplest of devices. I sure hope the bubble bursts on this soon.
"This is always the best part"
*hides peel from camera*
lol great video, Jeff!
When he peeled off the film I thought he was going to smell the plastic case.
Thank you, you are my best news and review for Pi new hardware, too many of them I'm totally confused.
I saw the ANSIBLE lanyard in the back and my two neurons fired... you are THAT Jeff Geerling! Amazing videos, subscribed.
That's me! And that's the last in-person conference I attended :(
Looks like a solution to a NAS upgrade for my radio shack. Thanks Jeff ..
Take my money! Been waiting for something like this.
I liked, it was pleasant watching you working at the raspberry pi while talking and not looking at the camera.
The Bob Ross of Pi building.....great video!
That's dope, need to wait for end-user revision.
Hopefully they can get this board up and running again I would love to get it!
It has been 0 days since you recompiled the kernel
You can say that again!
@@JeffGeerling It’s been 0 hours since You recompiled the kernel.
Love the video. And I especially love the Trogdor shirt. As soon as I saw it, I yelled “Trooogdooor!” In my best Strongbad impression. 🤣
I knew this was going to be a great video when I saw the Trogdor shirt. I do like how the case has a lot of speed holes. This would be something I would try and build in my car hole.
Good vid! Thanks! Keep on keeping one!!!
BRO!! Are you wearing a Trogdor shirt!?! That’s amazing! Great video.
Yay!!! I've been waiting for this video!
The title image gave me a good laught. "Satanás" is one of the words in Portuguese for "Satan". 😂
Id like to see a version with more drives and mountable in a server rack. 😊
Him: *sata nas*
CZcams captions: *satan ass*
Trogdor The Burninator! Nice shirt and good video.
LOL I LITERALLY stopped the video to make a Trogdor comment and then saw so many other fans!!! Ok back to the video.
Excellent video!
that is so good.. so gonna look for one of those once the bugs and issues with os support are settled with
Just bought your book - Ansible for dev ops. Loving it!
Glad you like it!
That is quite nice :) I was searching for a proper SATA NAS Solution for the raspberry Pi. Now i only need to design a better looking 3D printed Case for that
You got to love the home star runner trogdor shirt
This version of Tom green is just awesome
Chill Tom Green.
SATA NAS, sounds like a perfect Christmas Present
Love your videos man!
Love this! Thank you
Those acrylic cases are easy to screw up, been there. Great video! Great style!
I'd love to see a finished and polished version running. Matter of fact I am in the market for a NAS.
Props for Trogdor and blinkenlicht! Good man!
Really cool videos!
Love your vids dude
love that board!
I am chomping at the bit for this thing. It looks so handy. I hope it's not as expensive as other NAS gear.
That's just what I've been looking for
And I was really excited buy it right after video come lol
I'll wait
the advantage of 3.5" drives is, that they are cheaper per terabyte, and if you use a typical 1GB-Network Connection they are fast enough. My intel based Fileserver uses 5 3.5" drives in raid5 setup and can usually reach up to 200MB/sec whereas a 1GB connection "only" can do about 112MB/sec. So no need to use SSD as long as you only have 1GB Network. I'd love to see the case being able to accept a hotswap-Box for 3.5" drives, there is a couple of them that use 2 or 3 5.25" Bays - those would be perfectly suited for this setup.

Him: sata nas
subtitles: satin ass
This looks great! Next version they should add nvme drive support for cache drive for HDD's. (Feature Creap, LOL!)
The board itself looks awesome. I'm currently using an old Mac Pro as a NAS, but I think a Raspberry Pi 4 could do as well for my purposes and take up SO much less space. TBH, I could not be less impressed with the case design here though. I wonder if the 3.5" case was a bit of an afterthought? It would be nice to see the 2.5" case built out.
Nice build
Real easy setup...I like it.
As I was watching assembly, I thought to myself man that would stink if he put them on the wrong way. Then died laughing when you did 😂 hahaha
twice :D
At least he admitted it. Full credit for that one.
I was thinking the same thing as he was assembling it.
Props for the Trogdor t-shirt :D
I used below 4 port sata controller board on the CM4 io board and ran Manjaro ARM Linux aarch64. I didn't have to recompile the kernel.
The expansion board I used: SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9215 PCIe 2.0 x1 4-port SATA 6 Gb/s Controller (rev 11)
I have setup a software RAID1 array with two 2.5 inch 2TB drives. It has been running for over a month without any issues apart from the fact that I did not get time to put everything nicely in a box. Will do that soon.
Also on another note, the upgrade from my previous board, a Banana Pi M1+ (with built in single SATA port), this is a big upgrade. Everything is faster. With same things running CM4 load average is around 0.1 where BPi M1+ was well above 1.0.
Aww, your wife films for you. That is so cute. You guys are awesome. Very good content too.
I really like this option. Specially since its not over USB. Been trying to find a “mobile” NAS that I can affix somewhere in my Travel Trailer. Whoot
Great invention, Jeff! \o/ You should run an I/O banchmark next time to find out how fast your NAS delivers data compared to an out-of-the-box solution.
Just curious about power draw of a setup like this and how it compares with a proper x86 NAS.
Nice video as always mate
EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Cannardly wait. Would be interesting to see the results after this has been up and running for a week. For a month. Is it stable? Any evidence of data corruption? Does the plastic case melt from the heat?
Maybe during the postponement they could update the design to support SIX drives. RAID 6 capability with a separate boot drive is a worthwhile target.
Cool little board, These would be great for Skycoin's Skywire meshnet project as they are going to be doing decentralized cloud storage in the near future. Although Skycoin is designing their own hardware boards for the Skyminer 2.0 and also NAS stuff but thought these might be good to for the DIY Skyminers .
In nomine dei nostri SATA NAS.
Very cool. Thank you
That is super cool, I want to build one for my motorhome to have a replica of my home nas, on the road
That t-shirt brings back fond Strongbad memories :)
I feel you so much with the "I've put it together backwards... Twice"
Good I want one. I do have a Nas built on i5 platform, but now I want this small just to store data without extras.
The Sata Nas needs a DeathMetal intro 😉😁 Cool project
That reset button needs a trigger guard.
I really like this one
That case seems like the helios4 i have. Hoping more of these goes into the market.
Wouldn't need to worry about drive support if they're was a de facto server distro for the Pi. A mix of Pi OS and Debian Server would work well.
SATA NAS?
That is the most diabolic thumbnail I have ever seen.
I didn’t realize Jeff wanted such a big Pi NAS!
Tr0gdo0r! Absolutely love it!
hmmm, reminds me a lot of the old Helios4, especially in regard to the 3.5" drive case design.
That was definitely some of the inspiration behind this board!
Looks great. Is there a m.2 version of this? Does it work just as good as if you were using a CPU instead of an SoC board? (That's considering the workload a typical NAS should handle)
I agree with what most other people have already said, very simple and thus good looking compact solution. I too hope it will ship as I'd like one myself. However, I wonder how the availability will be for Europe...because buying things from the USA is almost impossible for poor folks like myself due to the insane import tax we have to pay from countries who's not a member of the European Union -- a product which you pay, say, $8 for will become a product costing you 10x the amount in some cases. Its a unbelievably unfair system. 😔
Greetings from Scandinavia, Mr. Geerling. And thanks for all the wonderful and useful content, I'm much obliged. 👍
Really liked the video was getting ready to grab one as I have been looking at DIY NAS for some time. Just really turned off by most nerfing the drive speed with the USB bus. Any suggestions on a good alternative to this given production is halted?
Trogdor!

Oh my. Those were the days.
TRAGDARRR
Is that a trogdor t-shirt lol?! Amazing! Good video, thanks
Burninatin' the countryside!
@@JeffGeerling RIP shockwave Flash ;)
I love this. Just what I need. Then I read about the shortage :-( Whaaaaa...
almost 3 years later... this is still "coming soon"
One thing about hard drives, the cooler you keep them the longer they last and fewer problems. The thing I don't like about this case it that the drives are stacked Horizontally. This causes each heat from the lower disks, and in this case that heat sink to accumulate into the disks at the top of the stack. If you monitor the SMART data for the temps you can see ~2c or more temp differences at the top. The hot swappable bays you can buy for other NASs usually have vertical mounted disks.
Very true. The 2.5" setup allows for all the drives to be vertical, and is what I'd say is optimal with this board (if you can get the storage volume you need in 2.5" drives, that is!).
Very cool. I NEED
