Kubesail's PiBox mini 2 – 16 TB of SSD storage on a Pi
- alex72 5y agoShame that it doesn't appear to support drives with a z-height of 15mm, like the cheap 5TB drives found in Seagate portable externals, with that supported it could be an affordable small off-site backup system or media server.
- geerlingguy 5y agoRight now that would also likely require a 12v rail, which this board's power circuit doesn't supply (it wouldn't be able to pull that much anyways, off the 3A max PSU). A future version should include it though, and would accommodate larger drives (both 2.5 and 3.5").
- geerlingguy 5y agoThe Kickstarter [1] for this product just went live this morning, and I've been testing one of the early prototypes. It's a really neat and tidy little unit, and with the PWM fan tuning they have it's nearly silent in all conditions. The other thing that impressed me is their Kubesail platform, for running 'managed-ish' Kubernetes installations. It is a viable option for someone to run Kubernetes in a homelab without having to know all the inner workings—and you can still edit the YAML manifests through their web UI.
