IMPORTANT:
You need to use a 12V (>=5A) >=60W DC Power supply to run this NAS!
Rock Pi 4 A/B 4GB is recommended (Rock Pi 4 Model C is not supported)
eMMC is needed to boot the device
Just add your Rock Pi 4 and eMMC to this kit and your blasting NAS is complete!
Build your NAS based on Raspberry Pi 3/4 or Rock Pi 4 with up to 4 HDD/SSD and up to a capacity of 20TB. (depending on your setup)
Dual/Quad SATA HAT utilizes the dual USB3 bus on the Raspberry Pi 4
Build your NAS based on Raspberry Pi 3/4 or Rock Pi 4 with up to 4 HDD/SSD and up to a capacity of 20TB. (depending on your setup)
Dual/Quad SATA HAT utilizes the dual USB3 bus on the Raspberry Pi 4
Features
- up to 4x HDD/SSD´s - 2.5 or 3.5inch storage is supported
- utilizes two independent USB3 buses on Raspberry Pi 4
- 12V DC Type power input for powering 2.5inch drives and Raspberry Pi 4
- External standard ATX power supply support for 3.5inch HDD´s
- PWM Fan and heatsink for Raspberry Pi 4 CPU cooling
- HDD suspend mode supported
- UASP support
- Software RAID 0/1/5 support
- Optional Top board with PWM controlled fan for HDD heat dispatch, OLED display for IP address, storage and status information and function assignable switch
For 3.5inch HDD setups, a 12V 5A DC PS or standard ATX PSU is recommended to power the HDD´s and the Raspberry Pi. With 4x 3.5inch HDD´s the PSU should provide at least 60W or more.
PLEASE NOTE: ! DOES NOT FIT THE PREVIOUS CASE KIT !

For 2.5inch HDD setups the 12V DC 4A power adapter ( >=30W power adapter ) is sufficient to power the disk drives and the Raspberry Pi 4 together.
It is important to mention that the power connector on the SATA HAT must be used to power up the NAS with Raspberry Pi 4.

Performance
The Quad SATA HAT utilizes two high performance JMS561 (one JMS561 for the Dual SATA HAT) and provides up to 400MB/s read/write performance with four disks in RAID0 mode.

Build your NAS based on Radxa´s Rock Boards with up to 5 HDD/SSD and up to 100TB capacity
Build your NAS based on Radxa´s Rock Boards with up to 5 HDD/SSD and up to 100TB capacity
The Penta SATA HAT utilizes the M.2/PCIe interface on RADXA´s ROCK Boards* to provide up to 5 SATA ports. This HAT works only with Rock Pi 4 mounted on the heat sink.
The concept of 4 internal SATA and one eSATAp design was chosen because it makes the setup more flexible for the use of external disks.
Features
- Up to 5x HDD/SSD, 2.5inch and 3.5inch storage is supported, max storage 100TB
- 4x SATA
- 1x eSATA with power
- utilizes two lanes of the PCIe 2.1 bus on Rock Pi 4
- DC power input with support for both 2.5inch drives and ROCK Pi 4
- External standard ATX power supply support for 3.5inch HDD
- HDD suspend mode support
- Software RAID 0/1/5 support
- Optional PWM control fan for HDD heat management
- Optional OLED display for IP / Store information
- PLEASE NOTE: You need to order the heat-sink with Rock 4, otherwise the Penta HAT can not be mounted on top. For use with Rock 3A please purchase the base plate for proper installation.
eSATAp
To fully take advantage of the 5th SATA port, an eSATA connector was implemented which can be exported e.g. out of the case. The eSATA connector provides both data and power. It can directly drive a 3.5inch HDD via a single cable.

Performance
The Penta SATA HAT is powered by the JMB585 with 2 lanes 5Gbs PCIe buses with up to 10Gbps bandwidth. With 5 SSD's configured in Raid0 mode, speed of up to 803MB/s can be achieved.

Penta SATA HAT board
M.2 interface board with high speed Ribbon connector cable
Penta SATA HAT works with the following boards:
Rock 4 Model A/A+, B/B+
Rock 3 Model A
Rock5 Model A - please choose the right option
optional: SATA HAT Top Board
For Dual/Quad and Penta SATA HAT
To monitor the SSD/HDD´s and display some basic information of the NAS, the TOP Board was designed.
For Dual/Quad and Penta SATA HAT
To monitor the SSD/HDD´s and display some basic information of the NAS, the TOP Board was designed.
It provides PWM FAN control, IP address info and other details via the implemented OLED display.
The select button can change the display content and as well power the device off. This button can also be assigned to custom functions on request via software settings.
A ribbon cable connects the SATA HAT with the Top board.
