Got the whole kit with the case, pi, power adapter, power management board, and sata board. Installed raspbian and libreelec to the drive, and system has been very unstable on 5 ghz wifi, often refusing to connect, and USB drive keeps unmounting, crashing the system. I get crashes during data transfers to the drive. My mouse stops lighting up. It seems like the drive is losing power. The only connection I can see for power is the USB U plug. There's a power socket on the sata board and one on the power management board. The video shows power going into the power management board. I don't know what to do to actually have a usable system besides just a bare pi in a case with an SD card, making most of these components useless, and over half the money spent being wasted. I've tried the troubleshooting and drive formatting multiple times. I've set up data on the drive 3 times. I've fallen back to my previous pi as a media player because it won't crash after one video.

I also tried 3 different places for support to make the fan work with libreelec, and ended up removing the power management board fan and putting the case fan in place instead, always on power. I've never been able to get the power button to work to turn off the unit except for a forced power off. This unit isn't great if not using it only for raspbian. I couldn't get the script for power and fan working on a straight retropie install either.
