  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2024
  • Today we’re taking a look at the Compute Blade, a rack-mountable PoE carrier board for a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. These are designed to allow you to stack up to 20 blades, each carrying a CM4 module, into 1U of 19" rack space. So you’re able to create a low-profile cluster with 80 ARM cores, up to 160GB of RAM and up to 160TB of NVMe storage.

    Interesting and thanks for doing this. Your case is great. Its still very frustrating that its so hard to my RPi in Q1 2023

    always like the variety of CM4 related products that spring up, but am still confused why more appear and are advertised to home users when none of us can even buy them any more, their always sold out.

      right? This project looks awesome but procuring a CM4 is much too difficult. It sucks, I feel like we'd have more ideas produced like this if there was better availability

    I hope this isnt a silly question, but could this make a great NAS server, versus the larger NAS servers for home use & editing? SInce the ones I have from WD & QNAP are only for HDD drives, having a low power Raspi version with NVMe drives would be a game changer.

    • @MichaelKlements
      @MichaelKlements  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, you could definitely use this as a NAS running storage on the NVME drive.

    I assume you only have one but I would be really interested in temperature with two blades in the case.

    • @MichaelKlements
      @MichaelKlements  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, I only have one. I doubt that it would make more than a one or two degree difference. There is quite a lot of room for airflow over the heat sink, even with two in place.

    These are so cool...just wish RPi had more chips so they could sell em at their recommended price not 5X the cost
    Jeff Geerling does a TON of video's on these too!

    Hi Micheal, I saw your previous vedio that Make a Simple arduino energy meter. In that i have done query that unfortunately all the reading in the lcd shows zero only, even though i apply the load. What is my mistake, pls help. I am using the same Ct talema ac1030. And I checked the code for KW and I am getting Maximum of 6663 W. Is it the maximum limit or somewhere I am doing any mistake. th-cam.com/video/W2Pa91I6QuY/w-d-xo.html(This Was the link of That Vedio)
