And if I ever want to expand, there's still another free USB3 port on the Pi, so another USB hub and set of drives should be hot-mountable (haven't tried this). ![]() ![]() When backing up a huge folder the backup went at about 1GB every 30 seconds. Since the day I received a pre-production Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 and IO Board, Ive been testing a variety of PCI Express cards with the Pi, and documenting everything Ive learned. The array won't break any speed records, but I have copied a single 1GB file to and from a Windows 10Pro PC over ethernet in about 9 seconds each way. I then added WebMin for easier administration, and smartmontools ( ) to monitor the SMART status of each drive (note, watch the hardware compatibility on smartmontools, as not all USB drives play nice with smartctl over UAS). The Pi's power over USB is insufficient to run four spindles, so it requires a powered USB hub, but this also has the advantage of spinning all four drives on USB 3.0 ports.įor setup I used RicMedia's excellent guide here. Besides desktops, it can also be installed on several ARM-based single board computers. The Raspberry Pi, on the other hand, is such a versatile little board that it can act as a cheap trial NAS thatonce you grow out of itcan be repurposed for something else. I've just built a NAS using a Raspberry Pi 4+ 4GB and four external 1-TB backup drives (Seagate Basic Portable STX1000400).
