Sorry for the late post. I was away from home
Quad sata hat issues with drives
I want to see if the hat has any welding problems or missing components, so this is not what I need.
I’m going to remove plastic from the usb bridge then. Also sending pictures from the sata board when I get home from work
hello, sorry for the late post, was away from home. i removed the plastic cover from the USB BRIDGE .
Next, these are the photos i took from the hat board it self ( please tell me if you need them in better quality)
please tell me if everything seems OK
i have tried already all posible ““fixes”” even bought some quality usb 3.0 short cables ( wich doesnt work) and whenever i use the sata 4 disk i get all kind of errors no matter wich drive is in it ( even Sata 3 disk start doing weird things)![IMG_20200826_150922|666x500]

So, im ready for trashing this (i had pretty much faith in this) and going the stackable way addins from geek* **
also, im going to test conecting extensions for the sata Data cables and powering the disks form an external PSU to discard power from the equation.
oh so you find something in the photos?
The first and third photos show that something is connected by mistake.
ok can you mark where? to see if i can ""fix “” this by my self, ( shippings to my country takes more than 30 days ( as the situation permits)
ok, im going to a friend house (tomorow its 10pm sunday here) for the tools needed to desolder that and let you know. hopefully thats the issue and i can use this as intended
@setq today i managed to unsolder the two points you asked, but i came home really late today will test later on the night here are some pics:
SATA1
Sata4:
HOPE THIS WORKS!
EDIT:
(** IT DOESNT**) now only shows up and running sata 1 and 2.
so @setq what should i do?
EDIT:
Well, thanks for your support, trashed this thing, already bought a miniItx and an athlon 300ge processor and making this thing the old fashion way, the rPi4 its going to get a new use
@Saduere I’m sorry I missed your message. You can contact Allnet to replace a new one.
We are also upgrading the version, or when the new version is available, I will contact Allnet to send you one.
Sorry again for the bad experience.
Well, I didn’t expect this to need this level of thinkering really. I would wait for the new version of it comes fast enough, I really ordered a cpu/mother’s/ram combo to use instead the Rpi4/hat to mount the server (but wanted this just for power efficiency)
so, i never had an answer from allnet persons i was writting to, whats up with my case?
@Saduere
A new version is still in production. It is expected to go on sale next month. I will let them know to replace you with a new one.
