- geerlingguy 6y agoI mention the Wiretrustee SATA towards the end of the post; it looks like they'll have a laser-cut acrylic case in two sizes, for either 2.5" or 3.5" drives. I'm hopeful one of the mini ITX or micro ATX boards goes into production soon; at that point, you could mount the Pi securely into any bog-standard ITX/ATX case and even make use of PSU connectors and the PCIe slot!
- tssva 6y agoI mentioned it in a comment for your original hardware video but I'll repeat it here. I think another setup worth trying is an eSATA 4 drive enclosure connected to the SATA controller board via a SATA to eSATA cable.

- xnyan 6y agoPower consumption quickly becomes relevant in terms of cost when you are running it 24/7. I measure about 33 kWh a year per RasPi I run, my undervolted x86 2014 intel platform is easily over 15x that.
