I purchased the Geekworm X1011 5V PCIe to Four M.2 NVMe SSD Board for Raspberry Pi 5. I installed 4 WD 4Tb NVME drives. Things ran for a bit.. (OMV7-Bookworm).. As the Raid5 set was cleaning.. OMV eventually ended by dumping all four drives.. I wonder if the 5 amp power supply is not enough.. (I am using the Geekworm GaN PD 27W 5.1V 5A Power Supply) | |||
I found a 5V 8A Power Adapter, 100-240V AC to DC Power Supply transformer on amazon.ca.. Unfortunately they do not document the configuration of the DC Jack (ASIN-809MQNBX8H, Manufacturer reference - Diocheya6gr98w1h489 Country - China). Product detail describes the connector type as default... | |||
Would you have a recommendation for a power supply with greater amps? Or.. would the 8A one described above be ok? | |||
I await your recommendation | |||
'''Email2:'''I received the 10a power supply yesterday and pressed it into service immediately. | |||
The best test of it was to use OMV8 (Open Media Vault 8 – under IOS – Trixie) to create a RAID5 group of all 4 nvme 4tb drives.. | |||
After a short time, one of the drives failed… (I suspect that it was hurt with the weak power from the original limited 5a power supply).. I installed a preplacement nvme drive and restarted the process.. This morning the RAID 5 group is up and working well.. | |||
This is a much better result compared with the 5a power supply.. I will update you in a week or so to let you know if anything comes up.. At this point, I would say that this 10a power supply is better for a fully populated X1011 with larger nvme drives.. | |||
'''Email3:''' The testing continues… The Crucial nvme drives did not work out as there was not enough clearance in the case. In the future it may be great to redesign the Geekworm X1011-C1 PCIe Metal Case for Raspberry Pi 5 to add at least 1cm of depth to permit better air flow for the nvme’s and clearance for the heatsinks… | '''Email3:''' The testing continues… The Crucial nvme drives did not work out as there was not enough clearance in the case.
