Overview
Geekworm NASPi2 is an ultra-compact dual 2.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD NAS storage kit with safe shutdown and auto power on function that specially designed for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B computer, it allows two pcs 2.5" HDD/SSD to working at the same time with your Raspberry Pi 4. Also support use with one single 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD.
The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port delivers a blistering data transfer rate of up to 5Gbps, letting you transfer a large amount of data in seconds.
NASPi2 is composed of three parts: X882 dual 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD shield, X882-C1 metal case and heat dissipation system(3Pin 4010 PWM fan with metal bracket). To get better heat dissipation of NASPi2, it also support install Max 7mm thickness heatsink above Pi4, as we use the M2.5*11+6mm spacers to fix the PWM fan with metal bracket. There is space for extra heatsink installation on Pi4.
Note:
- Power via DC jack or Type-C socket of X882, NOT power via Raspberry Pi 4!!!
- Support Max 7mm thickness heatsinks on Raspberry Pi 4 as we use 11mm height spacers for the fan with bracket installation on Pi4.
- Support Max 16mm thickness 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD installation.
- Insert the SD card into Raspberry Pi 4 first before NASPi2 installation start.
- 5G WiFi is stable enough, recommend using Ethernet or 5G WiFi.
- The Raspberry Pi, 2.5" SATA SSDs/HDDs, power adapter are all not included in the packing list.
Features
- Ultra-compact NAS storage solution for Raspberry Pi 4 with Dual 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD
- For use with Raspberry Pi 4 Model B only
- UASP supported only, do not support TRIM
- Supports dual 2.5 SATA HDDs/SSDs working at the same time
- Support Max 16mm thickness 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD installation
- Allows booting OS from your HDD/SSD for faster app opens, web serving and file copying
- LED blue indicator(HDD1,HDD2) indicates each drive status
- Support auto power on function by jumper setting
- Support safe shutdown function(Integrated on X882, do not need extra expansion board)
- Support connecting 3pin PWM fan for cooling
- Support RAID setup by jumper setting
- NASPi2 Dimensions: 167*112*61mm/ 6.57*4.41*2.40inch
- With on board power button to control power on/off
On board switch with LED light
- Press button switch to turn on
- Press button switch and hold for 1~2 seconds to reboot
- Press button switch and hold for 3 seconds to implement safe shutdown
- Press button switch and hold for more than 8 seconds to force shutdown
Note about SSD/HDD
- Do not recommend using Samsung hard drives, please use hard drives of other brands.
- As with all SSDs, new SSD/HDD must be formatted before use.
- Older SSD drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives.
- A microSD card is required for forceing the Raspbian OS to use the HDD/SSD for its "root" partition
Raid Setup
[About Raid]
【RAID setup and Jumper setting】
*Warning : Please backup your data before setup and switch, otherwise you maybe lost your data.
1. Install the HDDs.
2. Please connect the X882 to your PC or Raspberry Pi board and keep power on.
3. Switch RAID mode
- Set the switch button to your preferred RAID mode(PM/RAID 0/RAID 1/SPAN) as per the RAID illustration table.
- Press the SET button for about 5 seconds, and release it till the blue LED indicators starts flashing.
- After RAID mode changed, please confirm that the PC can recognize the disk(s) properly and shows the right capacity.
or you can run the fdisk -l command to view the hard drive on raspberry pi OS when you connect x880 to raspberry pi board:
fdisk -l
You can found two hard drives if you select 'clear raid mode'(this is PM model)
or
You found only one hard drive if you select the RAID0/RAID1 model
4. Set CLEAR RAID mode (PM, factory default setup)
- Press the SET button for about 5 seconds then and release it till blue LED indicators starts flashing.
- After above processes, the setup for CLEAR RAID is done.
Power Supply
- Via Type-C port of X882, 5.1Vdc +/-5% , ≥4A(Geekworm Type-C 5V 4A 20W power supply is recommended.)
- Via DC5521 Jack of X882, 5.1Vdc +/-5% , ≥4A (DC5525 Jack is compatible with DC5521, also support 5V PSU with DC5525 Jack)
Note about PSU: Please use high quality power adapter, or the HDD/SSD may cannot be recognized. Since NASPi2 can install two pcs 2.5 inch hard drives, it needs a high-quality power supply to provide enough current.
