Today was our first day back in the office after the Chinese New Year break!
There is a big backlog of work which we will have to manage.
The impact on our operation because of the outbreak of the Corona virus is substantial, both personal and over all.
Nevertheless, we work hard to get your overdue shipments out asap. DHL services have today unfortunately been delayed to next week, which came as a big surprise to us. Also some "special lines" e.g. economy express remain not available for the time being. This is caused by the fact that many airlines stopped their flights into China which seriously reduces also the capacities for air cargo.
We hope for your understanding that shipments at the moment might not arrive according to the usual time schedules.
New Shop design
You probably recognized, that we did not slow down during the holidays. We did release our new shop to you and hope you like it. There is still some more work to be done before we can reach real customer convenience, but it is a big improvement to before.
To all our customers who placed pre-orders for QUAD SATA KIT in our store.
The situation compared to the end of January has substantially changed. All manufacturing plans have been postponed. Many of the suppliers could not resume work or really lack of personnel.
Many people could not return to Shenzhen yet for various reasons. Travelling is not very convenient now, because of the precautions against the spread of the virus taken. Please understand that we do our utmost to ship asap, but our supply chain is deeply affected.
We did get some updates concerning the delivery dates today. Since most factories will not start before the 20th of February it will take probably up to the end of March to be able to fully deliver the pre-ordered products.
This is of course the worse case but we don´t want to create false expectations.
To reward you for your patience and trust we will add a special pre-order bonus.
This offer includes a 45W PD power supply and a 1m USB-C cable to power your Quad SATA KIT. This offer will end on the 29th of February. (EXTENDED!!)
The shipments will be released based on the order intake
PS: For product updates please use the mail registration on the right bottom corner. We will keep you posted via this mail channel and our blog of course.

I placed an order for the QUAD SATA KIT for Raspberry PI last month and exactly as many of your customer, I’m impatient to receive it :-)
As we don’t have too much details about the covid19 issue trend in china, it would be very nice from you if you could update us about how the things are going on.
Many thanks and stay safe !
Best regards,

I have several questions. I am very excited having ordered the Dual/Quad SATA HAT for Raspberry PI 4 and I ordered four SATA hard drives in preparation for the build. One thing I never saw though was a specification for the maximum thickness of the 2-1/2" SATA drives for integration. I bought 4 2-1/2" WD Velociraptor drives (10K RPM) as I overdo everything in life. Now I am unsure they will fit in the case. Also your blog postings about shipping for this product are several months old and I am clueless when to expect my order. This is a very exciting product. Please post some current news about your shipping schedule, or send us some email updating us about your intended schedule, thanks :-)
