Ozebe Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hi everyone, have any of you ever used the orange pi GPIO inputs to use as SATA inputs, so you can use HD's? if so, what procedure to take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinayotte Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 What is the relation between GPIO and SATA ? None ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanefu Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 look at the sata inputAlthough it does look like GPIO at a glance, It's actually usb-based SATA. The NAS board connects to some additional USB ports the orange pi zero has broken out in a separate pin header.

martinayotte Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Right ! Header pins are not necessarily GPIOs, in this case, it is really two additional USB provided on pins 3 to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozebe Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Do you think this module works to use a hard drive with the orange pi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinayotte Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Of course ! But you also need +5V/+12V Power Supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
