As a seasoned tinkerer with a soft spot for Raspberry Pi projects, I’ve recently had the pleasure of assembling UCTRONICS’ Upgraded Complete Enclosure for my Pi cluster. This bad boy houses up to four Raspberry Pi units, each compatible with models 4B, 3B+, and 3B, as well as 2.5-inch SSDs and an Ethernet switch. Talk about a desktop NAS setup! , First off, let me commend UCTRONICS for the thoughtful improvements made from their previous model. This upgrade now allows me to power my fans while using PoE HAT, making power management a breeze. The compatibility with Raspberry Pi’s official PoE+ HAT and UCTRONICS mini PoE HAT is a game changer. Kudos for the improved stability on the mounting brackets, too captive loose-off screws are a clever touch! But what truly sets this enclosure apart is its ease of maintenance. Each baseplate slides in and out effortlessly, fixed only by captive loose-off screws for quick access to every node within the cluster. This feature has been an absolute lifesaver during troubleshooting sessions. , The wide compatibility and adaptability of this enclosure make it the perfect solution for a variety of applications, such as Pi Array, Pi NAS, or Pi LAN lab setups really, any project that requires organizing Raspberry Pis in a manageable manner. I must admit, I was initially concerned about the size constraints for the 2.5-inch SSDs, but UCTRONICS has thoughtfully included a note to keep thickness within 7mm a detail that speaks volumes about their attention to user needs. , In conclusion, I’m genuinely impressed with the UCTRONICS Upgraded Complete Enclosure for Raspberry Pi Cluster. Its sleek design, thoughtful features, and ease of maintenance make it an essential tool for any aspiring or seasoned Raspberry Pi enthusiast.
Improvement Upgraded from our previous UCTRONICS for Raspberry Pi cluster case U6243ASIN:B09JNHKL2N. Now you can power your fans while using PoE HAT. Compatible with Raspberry Pi official PoE+ HAT and UCTRONICS mini PoE HAT(ASIN:B082ZLDMZ6). Also We replaced the thumbscrews with captive loose-off screws on the mounting brackets, which greatly improves the stability of the brackets. The front and back panel openings are expanded to support more models of switches.
Wide compatibility Designed to house 4Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+/3B, or other B models, 42.5 SSDs and Ethernet switch in a cluster case. You can use it as a complete desktop NAS. It also has holes reserved for the SD card extension adapter (ASIN: B09CKRDFTH) which allows you to access the SD card from the front of the case. Please note that the thickness of a 2.5″ SSD cannot exceed 7mm.
Front Removable Each baseplate is independent so as to easily slide in-and-out, just fixed with captive loose-off screws, allowing you very convenient and quick access to each node within the cluster for maintenance.
