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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stick a couple of SD card slots on it to backup the SD cards instantly, then they have a massive market. This could be used to digest all photos from the SD card and backup to the cloud as well as the installed SSD drives.

That's not a bad idea-there are some field boxes that are made for quickly backing up SD cards from cameras, something like this could bring down the price a bit, if you're willing to relax some requirements like being quite as shock proof or moisture resistant.

I’m getting called away before finishing the video but I wanted to mention if it’s not in the video that the QVO drives are not rated as high as the EVO. This is because the Q uses a less reliable storage chip technology. The warranty length is the giveaway: 5 years on EVO and 3 years on QVO and that is industry standard. The TBW, or terabytes written max is very good on the QVO and I was surprised at that. But Samsung SSDs and NVMes are *the* best by far so if you need the big storage in only one or two drives then QVO is a good choice as long as it’s Samsung. Otherwise, stick with EVO.

In the shot of the pci express chip at 6:10 it looks like there are 2 pins that have a solder bridge on a differential pair.

The only thing they need is to stop using the 1GBE NIC and have at least 5GBE nic to max out the read and write speed of those drives.

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 :)

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 :(

6:10 I'm unsure of the pinout for that chip, but there are some pins not soldered, and some pins connected by solder. I hope that the ones connected together are all ground and the unconnected ones are N/C... EDIT: Ah, you spotted that too during the edit.

In the close up of the SATA chip I saw a solder bridge across two pins which may explain why one of the SATA ports is not working.

Yep, I noticed that during the video edit, and put a quick note on the screen towards the end. Fixing that solder joint fixed the issue.
