Reuse Quad SATA NAS case with Penta SATA hat + Rock Pi 5A

Hi,

I have a Quad SATA case (I bought the whole kit but never got it working reliably) lying around. Can I use it for building a NAS with following in that case?

  • Penta SATA HAT
  • Rock 5A

I understand there is an eSATA connector on the HAT but that can stay within as I don’t see any use for it in my setup.

Thanks.

The holes of their DC seats may be different. Originally, the DC of Quad sold with the case was 5521, and later the DC of Quad and Penta were changed to 5525.

@setq - Thanks. Looks like I will have to skip it then. From one of the reviews of the Penta SATA HAT, it seems it gets very hot too.

My quest for a nice DIY NAS still continutes…

@vijaygill

We have designed a new casing for the Penta that may be able to lower the working temperature. The new casing is being 3D printed to make samples, and we should be able to test and know the results next week.

@setq - Thanks for the reply. I will be keen to know the results and probably go for a new kit.
Good luck!
