Testing the PiBox mini 2, a Raspberry Pi MicroK8s server
Переглядів 616,523
День томуKubesail sent me their brand-new PiBox mini 2. It's a 2-drive SATA NAS built with the Compute Module 4. It has a front-panel LCD, native SATA, and more!
I did have a little trouble with the early prototype model they sent, but was able to get that fixed and now have 16 TB of raw storage, and a nice little managed microk8s installation, to boot!

Inexpensive because it intends small stand-alone disks and not the really, really expensive server disks (disk packs) looking like a big washing machine. And just about all disks are inexpensive now, when looking at media price. No longer $1000 for a few MB of storage.

@@perwestermark8920 You saved me from writing that Per. One place I worked at had to agonise over the expense of one of those "washing machine" sized drives, a 60MB example. Later I laid out the computer room and supervised the installation of a new mainframe that had two strings of such drives, one was 8X100MB, the other 4X200MB, but addressed the same as the first. Mainframe Operating Systems had serious limitations, needed a team to support them, but were reliable. Even the 8" SCSI drives that came out later were far from inexpensive, just less expensive. To me a 4TB SATA SSD is far beyond amazing, and the M.2 PCIe SSDs are cheap for what you get.
@perwestermark8920 2 роки тому
@@John.0z My first own drive was about $1000 for 42MB MFM drive. Then $1500 for 320MB ESDI drive. $1000 for 1.3GB SCSI. $2000 for 5GB SCSI. Given the capacity increases and inflation, todays SSD and HDD feels like they are almost "for free". I can lose 1TB in a corner somewhere and probably not notice the missed storage capacity from that extra (and forgotten) disk image.

At 6:09, where you show a closeup of the sata chip, if you look at the pads on the chip you can see a solder bridge on two of the pins. This might be intentional or it might be the source of the second sata port failure. Worth investigating as it might be a quick fix to remove the excess solder from the pins. That chip looks like it has way too much solder on it. Good luck with your build. Pre Production boards are always fun. Their like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll get.
@MSM5500 2 роки тому
Those two pins shorten are the RX differential pair of the second SATA channel of the ASM1061 chip. If the developers deliver their products to public in the state like that, that tells a lot of what's going on behind the scene. I didn't get what the developers of this setup are going to achieve especially when ODROID HC4 has been around for 2 years already.

It's really cool. While I'm sure there are a lot of potential uses for it, I'd be much more interested in a Pi based NAS that uses NVME. I'm phasing out all of my HDDs in favor of SSDs, and I'm getting to the point where I'm phasing out my SATA SSDs for NVME (whether internal on the motherboard or a card or external via USB enclosure). At some point, I'm going to have a lot of smaller NVME drives with a lot of life still in them that were just replaced with larger versions, and I might want to put them individually into Pi NAS devices or set up as a RAID with a Gigabit ethernet port - probably as a media server, so the data will be largely write-once, read many.

It seems the PCIe x4 connector on the back plane *actually conveys PCIe* , but it works in reverse direction: the thing which is put into the slot is the "host" side, while the slot is the "device" side. Even the power flows in that direction! You can follow the traces on the board and compare to the PCIe slot pinout to see if it's true.

@SeeJayPlayGames Рік тому
When you said "if you have to ask..." regarding the price of the SSDs, I had to go look it up. As I suspected. Just under $700. That number range, relating to storage, brought me to a startling realization. My first-ever hard disk on a computer was on my Amiga 500... an 80MB Quantum SCSI drive connected via a TrumpCard 500. That setup was not cheap, and cost over $700 in 1991... fast forward 31 years later, adjust for inflation, and that kind of purchasing power (roughly $1500-1600 depending on how much over $700 it was; I forget) can now buy not one (which would be by itself, 100,000 times the capacity and probably 250-500 times as fast) but *two* Samsung 870 QVO 8TB drives, and possibly the rest of what you see here.
@ryoh8677 2 роки тому
This design almost matches the idea I have for a pi nas (that I lack funding and knowledge for). I would rather they put the pcie slot and display connection on the carrier board. Then just create a daughter board as a sata back-plane that connects to pcie slot, this would allow them to create new back-planes for 3+ 2.5 drives or 2+ 3.5 drives when supply becomes available.

@callmefoxie2950 2 роки тому
I've had that on a backburner for some time now. Each card in this "blade" would contain either one CM4 plus NVMe slot or four CM4 plus 5port switch; the backplane would be connected via PCIe slot (just using the connector, not actual PCIe pinout) to connect power and UART for KVM; the backplane would have another 8 or 16 port switch to contain 8 or 16 of these sub-cards. And then some ESP32 or something similar with ethernet for the UARTs terminating and some web-UART-HTML5 thingy. I would love to build it but don't have time for it right now
@callmefoxie2950 2 роки тому
we're talking (if 16 ports on the backplane + 5 ports on each sub-card) upto 4*15 = 60 CM4 = 240 ARM64 cores :) would get quite expensive, plus would love to put there dual-PSU or some UPS support as the backplane would supply 12V (because high currents) and each sub-card would switch down to 5V. I've spent some time thinking about this but ... maybe in November or December :)

This seems like a nice idea, but kinda small. It looks an awful lot like the PCB with the SATA backplane and the pi edge connector could be extended to have more SATA connectors if it were made longer. What's the theoretical maximum number of drives that the bus could support? This would be an absolutely amazing NAS if it had the ability to have many more than just two drives so you could use cheaper SSDs to make it more economical, or get a bunch more drives in there. You mentioned having a custom case with additional USB ports would be possible -- and that's great, but extensibility in terms of drives is what I want!

Those screws that are partly stripped, there may be a way to fix that and still be able to remove them if needed. When a hole in wood is stripped some people stick small bits of wood in the hole to make it tight again. It is not the strongest repair but I have a feeling it would do more than good enough for that. One other thing that may be done is use a thicker screw. Of course the head on it may be bigger (and uglier) unless you know of a specialty fastener store that has them still with the same size head (maybe same color). Some screws even tap their own threads. I wonder if later revisions of that would have brass inserts, that would seem to be the best solution to the problem over all.

@Aaku13 2 роки тому
barrel connectors aren't standardized on the power delivery side, they don't have a way of negotiating how much power to send like USB does so you can use usb c in both high power to lower power situations without having to change the expensive part the power bricks. usb c is way better, so sick of the floor warts that were barrel chargers

Wouldn't mind a few working versions of that. 8T or 16T per drive. Run 2 or more setups with a raid setup so there is a backup of everything.

It is hard to have decided to stop participating in crowdfunded project and encountered a video like that, I see it as already reach it's goal, I hope that you will do a review again upon release to help remind me looking about ordering one! Thank you for sharing your opinion about this nice box :)
@JeffGeerling 2 роки тому
You're welcome! And I'm not too surprised the crowdfunding goal has been met, there are a lot of people like me who like the idea of a tiny, quiet NAS. I have a lot of faith they'll get the Kickstarter goals met, especially for the models that don't ship with a CM4, since that's the one part of the puzzle that's practically 'unobtanium' for most places right now :(

would really like to see a follow up to this videoPLEASE!,as many of previous solutions like this have never performed to high enough of a standard to stand up to the day to day demands,really hope this is the one that can.
@jackfisher9833 2 роки тому
It looks amazing.And I could use a NAS that draws low power.

Have you ever used the 2.5 inch to dual m.2 adapters? Just wondering what could be had with those.

It sees only one drive due to glue of solder on IC on the second PCB with SATA connectors? Two of pins was soldered together.

does the USB C input on the raspberry pi work with USB-PD? as in like can you just plug a standard type C laptop charger into it

Thanks, you convinced me and I got one of the last early bird bundles! Only problem will be to get a CM4... ;(
@marcogenovesi8570 2 роки тому
As long as you don't get the "hacker", a CM4 with 8GB RAM and 8GB flash is included. I 100% recommend to get one of those if you want to get a CM4 before 2024
@TheHangman300 2 роки тому
@@marcogenovesi8570 no worries, I managed to find a 4GB/32GB CM4 and I will upgrade to 8GB RAM when/if the situation relaxes a bit. I prefer the hacker bundle, because I have all the other components and a 3D printer available. (Also 32GB storage is more important for me than the RAM at the moment)

Was looking for an expansion board like this for the odroid h2+, which is an x86 sbc and run xpenology. That would be awesome !

Hi Jeff, Have one question, it's has possible create a Raid box with raspberry and being external drives?
@44Bigs 2 роки тому
Hmm can you run Rook on Kubesail to turn this into two Ceph OSDs with a few clicks? A cluster of those would make a cool overkill distributed NAS that also runs applications.

I'm looking for a good replacement home server to an Atom 330 that can power 3.5" hard drives. Any recommendation on a modern low powered PC that won't break the bank? The best I can think of is ordering a used i5-6500 and cutting my losses with power efficiency. Electricity is cheep where I live (I'll never tell the difference, and any heat in the winter months will heat my house).

What about ECC on these NAS devices? I am assuming the RAID will be software driven? What about data integrity?
