Build A Raspberry Pi NAS For $35 Using All New Parts

What screwdrivers are you using?

pi nas = pe nis

2 TB disk

Raspberry penis. We were all thinking it

Awesome work Friend.

Could you create a Pi5 Nas. I am looking to create something very powerful ( as much as one can get with a Pi5).

Thank you.

Why scan for the IP address? Can't you use the host name (mininas) when connecting with SSH?

I love a good pinas joke

The nas looks so cute.

It needs a hub and 4+ flash drives in RAID5 :D

I tried doing basically the same a while ago. And i learned: It might be cheap, but the speed is horrible. In my case the bottleneck was the USB controller. Network ono the RPi2 is basically a usb network device, so it shares it's bandwith with the disk, while it can't simultanously read from network and write to disk. It gets even worse if you have bad software that simultanously tries to read from the device. So i doubled the price and got a cheap mini-pc with a proper ssd and i get a full gb/s with a power consumption of about 5 watts.

Amazing! Will your enclosure fit a pi 3? I've got one I don't use that would be great on this!

Wifi for NAS? It's a big NO!

Definitely disappointed the storage was just a usb flash with 128GB and the drive bays are purely cosmetic.

Otherwise, yeah, not bad for a cheap, low volume NAS, I guess.

The speed was super underwhelming. Needs 1GBit ethernet.

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that he literally engraved "Pi NAS" into the side of the housing but still chose "mininas" as the hostname?

What if I JUST want to RAID-0 2 HDD's to my home network for bulk file storage ?

Why bother with the SD card and not simply boot it from the USB-Device?
(Or is that not possible with the CM?)

Crazy awesom §8-)
Thanks for sharing.

I came because the thumbnail looked like it said penis
