malaga Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 good day dear friends, well sure i know this is theoretically a bit difficult, but I dare to ask: what are the possible ways to connect an internal 3.5'' SATA HDD to the board (let's say i want to use a 1TB)? Let's ignore the need for additional power. i want to add a good power supply unit: So that i have enough power. What about the ways and options to connect a HDD. What is aimed: I want to make a box like a Network Attached Storage - a NAS - that contains the board and the HDD internally, so the trivial "plug to USB connector" is excluded. How can I do this? first approach: Well - i guess that the only way is to use a sata to usb adaptor or a usb enclosure for the drive. What do you say - i love to hear from you

So take care that you choose an appropriate chipset (JMS578 for example). Something like this: https://aliexpress.com/item/Black-JMS578-Chip-3569S3-EU-BK-HDD-SSD-case-with-EU-plug-support-Hot-swap-drive/32814026176.html Performance on an USB2 Hi-Speed port is low as expected: http://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi_devices_as_NAS Given the high prices for an appropriate enclosure I would buy an ODROID-HC2 anyway...
