Overview

NASPI is a NUC-style NAS storage solution based on the latest Raspberry Pi 4. It supports 2.5-inch sata HDD/SSD. All the Raspberry Pi 4 interfaces are adjusted to the back through the X-C1 adapter board, build in software safety shutdown function, using PWM fan can dynamically adjust the speed of the fan according to the temperature of the CPU, the shell is made of all aluminum alloy, CNC processing method, surface anodizing treatment.

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;
  • X-C1 provides power management, interface adapter and safe shutdown function
  • 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-B to get same function, but maybe P165-B will have a slight impact on WIFI.

Power supply

We recommend that you use raspberry pi official type c power adapter: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/type-c-power-supply/

FAQ

Q1. Will the Alu case affect the WIFI?

A: 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 with pi 4’s WIFI to a certain extent. So it is strongly recommend to use Ethernet or 5G AP.

Packing List

  • 1 x NASPi alu case
  • 1 X X823 Shield
  • 1 x X-C1 adapter board
  • 1 x X823-A3 metal bracket
  • 1 x PWM fan
  • Scews pack accessories;

Topic fan script: I had to add LC_ALL=C in the 3rd line

else I got "/usr/local/bin/x-c1-fan.sh: Zeile 184: printf: 38.46: Ungültige Zahl." all over the system log. Locale was german, and german's number format has a "," instead of "."

Topic RTC: I added [pi4] dtoverlay=i2c6,pins_22_23 dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds3231=on,i2c6

to /boot/config.txt and connected the RTC with jumper wires to GPIO 22 and 23 (and 3.3/GND of course). The little RTC-Module found it's place inside the case near the GPIO input header and jumpers. Works fine!

I have successfully upgraded my stock fan to a more silent Noctua one. While out of the case the fan is really quiet and works as expected, when I fit the case and power on the noise is no different to the stock fan.

Any suggestions? Are there not enough vent holes?

Hi, Thanks for your feedback.

The NASPi's fan is also a silent fan. We think it is the case that there are not enough ventilation holes, we will increase the fan holes in the next version to improve this problem.

I've bought a Noctua 40x10mm non-PWM fan and it looks like I need to make some cable modifications as the connector block on the Noctua won't fit the onboard connector on my X-C1 v2.0. I have a 3 to 2 pin adapter cable that came with my fan. Can the onboard 5V connector be used to power the new fan instead of having to cut cables?

Hello，

1.Remove the metal case and test whether it is easy to automatically turn on.

2. Please check if the type c, hdmi port, etc. are aligned? try to adjust the angle slightly.

3. Check if the GPIO cable is firmly inserted
