The ULTIMATE Raspberry Pi 5 NAS

See you at Open Sauce June 15-16! Apply to exhibit here: Radxa’s Penta SATA HAT fits nicely atop the Raspberry Pi 5. Can I use it to build the ultimate Pi 5 NAS? Or will we run into issues? This video is not sponsored, neither Open Sauce nor Radxa paid anything, nor did they have any input into this video—however I did recieve the Radxa Penta SATA HAT featured in this video for review, as well as the Pineberry Pi boards. My build included the following (some links are affiliate links): - Raspberry Pi 5 8GB: - Radxa Penta SATA HAT: - TMEZON 12V 5A Power Adapter: - SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSD Card: - Samsung 870 QVO SSDs: (NOTE: these went way up in price... I would recommend cheaper 2 or 4TB SSDs instead) - ThirdReality Zigbee Smart Plug Gen 2: You have two options for 2.5 Gbps networking, if you want it. First, for all PCIe, and stackable boards: - Pineberry Pi HatBRICK! Commander: - Pineberry Pi HatNET! : But that will downgrade the PCIe connections to Gen 2. The second option keeps Gen 3 speed for the disks and gets slightly better performance (in fact, slightly better than the switch), using a USB 3 Ethernet adapter. I used this Plugable adapter: Guides I referenced: - GitHub issue with full build details and benchmarks: - Blog post on macOS Finder Samba slowness: - Create a RAID array in Linux: - Create a Samba share on Pi: - Set up OMV on Pi: Support me on Patreon: Sponsor me on GitHub: Merch: 2nd Channel: Contents: 00:00 - The Ultimate Pi 5 NAS 01:35 - YOLO this thing 03:51 - Assembly 08:14 - (Don’t) release the magic smoke 10:08 - Software setup - RAID 0 12:59 - It’s hot 15:05 - Benchmarking RAID 0 16:54 - Open Sauce 17:45 - Reads over writes 18:56 - Networking 22:06 - But is it faster? 23:33 - OMV ZFS Setup 27:42 - ZFS Performance 30:37 - Oops. 31:17 - DIY or Buy?
