- Hallo - in this video, I'm upgrading my existing Raspberry Pi 5 server with 5 additional SATA disks, bringing the total storage to 72TB. Using the Geekworm X1009 PCIe to 5-Port SATA Shield, I'll show you how to set up and configure this powerful and efficient low-power Storj node. Note: This setup does not support booting from HDD/SSD.

love the idea with the hdd upgrade cages and the tinker perspective in general
Thanks alot man! I love building weird hardware solutions🫣😂
loved how you walked us through each step, so helpful!
Im glad you liked it! Thanks :)
YOU ARE DROP DEAD GORGEOUS
Thanks alot for The compliment :)
Not the prettiest but definitely the beefiest!
Haha thanks for The feedback, has Been running so smooth ever since
Ready for production, I'd say.
Thanks man! 😀 it now running 24/7 no issue so far.
Crazy!
So much space🫡
main question....are those expension boards stackable in any way??🤣😍
Haha Good question! I dont Think so as there is only one pcie connector on the pi 5 😅

You need to connect common ground between the ATX power supply and USB-C power supply from the source.
Currently your system are having common ground from SATA Pins and USB Pins, which is disturbing as these are DATA Pins, NOT power pins.
Having Data pins carry your MAIN ground might cause instability at best and data corruption at worst.
My suggestion, connect 2 or 3 GND GPIO and connect it to any 4 PIN or 6 Pin GND as those have thicker gauges.
Hey - thanks for the comment, but the ground is shared with the PSU so i belive grounding is sufficient
@@hgsoftware5129
You mean AC mains? That's earth and most modern PSU has isolated AC and DC.
Don't believe me? Set multimeter to continuity between earth pin and GND of your power supply.
You have common ground so your negatives don't go out of whack.
12V psu is not 0-12V, it might be -1V and 11V. Similarly, Pi 5V is not 5V-0V, might be 4.5V,-0.5V.
Remember data pins are only 0 and 1s. So if you don't combine both grounds, PSU1 says -1V is ground, PSU2 says -0.5V is ground, your data will have a hard time mix matching grounds like that causing instability.
Just connect both grounds!!
Thanks. Im not sure if i understand 100% - but i Will look into it
@@hgsoftware5129
A simple example is led strip.
The controller = 5V
led strip = 12V
The led strip won't turn on if you don't connect the grounds together.
So just to understand, what device so you belive that uses 5v and needs to ground with 12v?
Well.. I mean it works, just hide it away from sight.. :)
Haha yes, i Will do that ;)
Untidy setup I have to say... the most important thing at least to me was to know if the board power connector can handle 5 3.5 current draw
Thanks for The feedback. The setup has Been rock solid so far - new video coming soon.
And The board Cannon handle 5 3.5 hdd i also mentioned this in The video and thats also why i use a normal ATX PSU
It's a neat experiment, but I wonder if just buying an old office tower and adding hard drives to that wouldn't be more cost effective.
It Might. I wanted to work with The rpi5 and its Low power usage, so far its been great
New video aboout it is coming soon
Hey How to buy that drive cage from Corsair? Their site doesnt have the option
Hey, i Will give you a link:

i'm kind of newbie here, but one question comes to my mind, why did you have to run one node for each disk and not join all of the disks to one same node?
That’s a great question! Thanks for asking.
I all disks have 1 single node, then if one disks fails and dies the whole node will be forever lost. But this way I split that risk :)
Any thoughts on using the Radxa Penta SATA Hat instead? Any reason why you chose this Geekworm one?
I dont know that one, i Might wanna give that a look
Well, idk if this one is RAID Capable, but a good difference point is at the SATA connection config, cause´ with this one you can use SATA cables and you can fully manage drives disposition in your custom case, in contrast the "Radaxa" one that you can only put your drives in a single position and only you can put 2.5" drives
What is the part number of the SATA hat controller chip? I didn't see that in the 1009 documentation.
Hey man - im not sure sorry.
@@hgsoftware5129 You can get a pretty good idea by running "lspci".
Will try😀
Seems to be:
SATA controller: Jmicron JMB58x AHCI
Is it possible to use a USB, 5 bay docking station?
Yes this should be possible with usb 3.0 and enough power for the drives
What's the overall power consumption?
I Will have to get back to you on that.
I’m adding a power meter that monitors this. In the future I will do an update on this and I also have plans of a website where people can monitor the power draw and earnings! :)
@@hgsoftware5129 👀 thanks
Can you power the pi also from the 5V line from atx? And what about omv?
You could power The pi with 12v from atx psu, but you loose some usb c safety features So thats why i did not
Hardisk More expensive than raspberry pi🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh Yea! Alot more expensive - pi is Allmost the cheapest in this build😂
exactly my thoughts it's $63 just for sata ports.
also if you include raspberry pi cost, it is not feasible. I'd instead go for Intel n100 motherboard.👍👍
Yea - the n100 with a mobo is 100% a cheaper option :) this is more for entertainment and having fun building it ;)
@@hgsoftware5129 yes I agree with you on this one 💯
The process of making and the enjoyment that we get out of it is priceless 😇
100% - also i really wanted to make a video of this.
When the jonsbo n5 comes out, I would love to make a video about a build in that, maybe using the n100.
slow raspberry
Its plenty fine for my beeds
The RPi5 is actually not bad! To save on electricity I moved the drives from a dual Xeon Dell PowerEdge R730 to a similar RPi5 + x1009 setup and it has been great for SAMBA and Jellyfin. I wished there were more exposed PCIe lanes, but I think the main bottleneck is lack of on-board 2.5GbE. Energy savings is about $50/mo
Fully agree, btw you can get 2.5Gig Ethernet to usb 3 and use on the pi :) and it’s not so expensive
@@hgsoftware5129 USB 3.0 to 2.5GbE is next on my list, but without an appropriately designed enclosure it will look like a science fair project 😄
Haha yes - just like mine does now😂
Useless. With pi's throughput perf.
I disagree, with pcie its fast enough for a node
@@hgsoftware5129 Thank you for your video! Is it fast enough to actually use 4 2,5 SSDs?
I belive so - but im not 100% sure
@@phil9309depends on what you mean by "use." The Pi only has 1 gen 2 lane (5gbps,) a single SATA SSD will completely saturate that. You could connect 5 of them and it will work, but the total throughput will still be a maximum of 5gbps (probably about 500MB/s.) That single pcie gen 2 lane is a huge bottleneck for storage. Now if you don't need more than 500 MB/s, have at it. I think a Rockchip based board with x4 Gen 3 lanes is much better suited to a NAS.
@@hgsoftware5129I'd love to see some kind of disk performance test. This is probably fine for most stuff, but some people need more throughout on their data storage.
