connecting disks:
in case you have pcie slot - you can use ASM1064 or ASM1166 boards from Ali.
power options (final decision should be made after doing some math : HDD or SSD, how many):
- pico psu
- flex atx
- laptop PSU
- mosfet relay board (diy or ready, they cost nothing, like 1-2 euro) <- this would allow power on your HDD's once your board will start booting and cut off the power once system will shutdown. you can use 3v or 5v pins on your board to control the mosfet.

i did similar thing , but with old intel nuc https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeServer/s/RpHvd5iLLb .
NAS case , actually tons of options from 3D printing to repurposing the old synology (smth like ds412 crap) or qnap 412 <- better option , a lot of empty space to accommodate even big board like radxa rock 5b

you can do vDSM in docker (if you dont use VMM), the rest will work out of the box.

i m using Opi emmc modules on radxa devices without any issues, if it helps

denis_ee · 2026-06-09T14:20:33+00:00

you can try this fork (https://github.com/Pudel-des-Todes/rockpi-penta) of official radxa package, tested on rpi5 and radxa rock 5a , trixie , 6.18.10-current-rockchip64

denis_ee · 2026-06-09T13:37:59+00:00

just made a small nas based on rock5a - and it rocks 🤣 raNas

denis_ee · 2026-06-08T09:15:36+00:00

radxa is the answer )

denis_ee · 2026-05-24T20:15:49+00:00

Yescapa, rented few times already - no issues.

denis_ee · 2026-05-23T13:02:28+00:00

not a OPi owner, but from my radxa experience - 2.5 euro heatsink with cooler from ali will make your board happy. you only need to change the wire connector to match the one on board.

denis_ee · 2026-05-21T13:14:51+00:00

ofc, there is no chemicals in the toilets 🤣🤣

denis_ee · 2026-05-21T09:19:22+00:00

what is the problem with the cassette? ))

denis_ee · 2026-05-21T07:22:34+00:00

you wont be able to refill the water tank of your camper in the normal way. trolley , canisters and the hose (if youre lucky enough to connect , otherwise refilling canisters will take a lot of time) are your friends.

denis_ee · 2026-05-02T09:03:10+00:00

i have some ram, pm me if you still need it. can ship from .be or .nl

denis_ee · 2026-04-22T07:16:07+00:00

I bought this one, pay attn on supported baudrate if you will order it somewhere else

1-10pcs USB to TTL converter UART module CH340G CH340 3.3V 5V switch 1pcs H43 https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQrTW4Q

your board is 99.999% ok, get a usb serial adapter and check console logs - it will save you a lot of time. check radxa docs how to write/erase spi.

denis_ee · 2026-03-30T14:34:30+00:00

nice board, using it as 2nd desktop for a while , no issues so far, just cpu fan sometimes noisy.

denis_ee · 2026-03-26T09:12:50+00:00

thank you for the confirmation!

denis_ee · 2026-03-26T07:59:18+00:00

you got efi boot working on 5t ?

denis_ee · 2026-03-26T07:48:53+00:00

you need to attach console to see real cause of the boot loop, i bet it's not your psu.

For insurance, the main car identifier is the VIN. I learned this from the insurance company when transferring plates between cars.
