==Foreword==
On Oct., 18th,we released Click [[NASPi LiteGEEKWORM NAS Family]]to know more.===Update History==='''On April 28th 2022, which NASPi is a simplified version of updated to NASPiV2.0(New add Auto Power On function, and only the X-C1 adapter shield was upgraded from V1.3 to V2.0 version)'''
<span style="color:red;">WhatNote: Due to the different arrival times of products on each platform, please refer to the platform information for the purchased version.</span> * Add '''Auto Power On''' Function (Automatically turn on when there is a power supply)* Add '''FAN FS''' jumper to control the PWM fan; Because we found that there are some beginners who don't know how to install the script to make the PWM fan run, or the installation script doesn's t support 3rd party OS, at this time, you just need to remove the difference between [['''FAN FS''' jumper, the PWM fan will run at full speed.* Remove the 4-Pin connector for external power switch  '''On August 17th 2021, the X823 board in NASPi]] has been updated from V1.3 to V1.5 version.'''  X823 V1.5 added 4pcs test pins so that RPi 4 and X823 V1.5 power each other via test pins, so '''2pin power wire is no longer needed''' in '''X823 1.5''', (But if you get X823 V1.3 version, you still need to connnect 2pin power cable from X-C1 to X823 V1.3, and X813 V1.3 is sold out.)  '''On 28th July 2021, We added one backup acrylic front panel to help improve WiFi signal.'''  But acrylic material is fragile, be careful for the installation. According to our test 2.4G WIFI is usable. But 5GHz WIFI networks will be more stable. So strongly recommend to use 5GHz WIFI networks or Ethernet. Refer to [[NASPi Litehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKJVIBQFYXs 5G WIFI test video]]?</span>; The wireless keyboard we tested usable is logitech K520.

==Overview==Note:*In August 17th On Oct., 18th 2021, the we released [[NASPi kit inlcuded X823 shield has been updated from V1.3 to V1.5 version. X823 V1.5 added 4pcs test pinsLite]], RPi 4 and X823 V1.5 power each other via test pins, so remove the 2pin power cable from X-C1 to X823 V1.5. (But if you get X823 V1.3 which is a simplified version, you still need to connnect 2pin power cable from X-C1 to X823 V1.3of NASPi.)
*We added one backup acrylic front panel to help improve WiFi signal since 28th July 2021On March 30th, we also launched a larger storage solution [[NASPi Gemini 2. But acrylic material is fragile5]], be careful for the installation. According to our test which supports dual 2.4G WIFI is usable. But 5GHz WIFI networks will be more stable. So strongly recommend to use 5GHz WIFI networks or Ethernet. Refer to 5G WIFI test video: youtu.be5" sata hdd/LKJVIBQFYXs; The wireless keyboard we tested usable is logitech K520ssd working at the same time.

NASPi adopts modular design, and NASPi is composed of three parts: X823 storage shield, X-C1 adapter board, heat dissipation system(include X823-A3 metal fan bracket and 4010 PWM fan), and they will be packed into a ALU-case to get a complete NASPi;
* X823 provides 2.5 inch HDD/SSD storage function(UASP supported);
* X-C1 provides power management, interface adapter and safe shutdown function function, new add '''Auto Power On''' and '''Fan Control''' in Version 2.0.* For the heat dissipation system, we chose a relatively simple and practical heat dissipation solution: a custom metal bracket and a PWM fan to achieve it. in fact, you can use [[P165 | P165-B]] passive cooling heatsink to get same function, but maybe [[P165 | P165-B]] will have a slight impact on WIFI.

Q1. Will the Alu ==Packing List==* 1 x NASPi alu case affect the WIFI?* 1 X X823 Shield* 1 x X-C1 adapter boardA: As our test, 2.4G WIFI AP was usable. But different Raspberry Pi individuals have different degrees of WIFI interference. As well as aluminum alloy case will interfere * 1 x X823-A3 metal bracket with pi 4’s WIFI to a certain extent. So it is strongly recommend to use Ethernet or 5G AP. You can refer to video test of 5G WIFI AP: https://youtu.be/LKJVIBQFYXsPWM fan* Scews pack accessories;
