As I wrote in another thing (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2584248), I did like the original design quite much so I decided to stick to it in other projects. In a recent shopping spree at Aliexpress, I aquired an OrangePI Zero NAS expansion board which basically adds a SATA port, two USBs and an mSATA slot to the OrangePI Zero. One shouldn't expect too much performance-wise since the SATA and mSATA are still connected to the OrangePI's USB2 ports. It makes however for a nice little fileserver e.g. as a backup for an existing NAS. OpenMediaVault 3 runs quite well on it. In order to build this you would need: -OrangePI Zero original (the one with the H2+ processor and 100MBit Ethernet, the "plus" version is still quite beta) -OrangePI Zero NAS expansion board -At least 8GB uSDHC (the faster and bigger, the better) -mSATA drive if desired -2.5" SATA drive if desired (would need an additional SATA/Power cable) -Case mount uUSB socket with cable and uUSB plug -Case mount USB A socket w/cable and USB A plug -3mm LED w/ resistor and mount, -USB A plug w/ solder connectors -15x15mm or 20x20mm heat sink with adhesive pad -20mm Fan (REALLY necessary !) -3mm light conducting plastic fiber (for the OrangePI's status LEDs) -3mm screws and nuts Assembly should be quite easy: -Screw in the fan first -The lower USB hole is for the "A" connector. Screw that in -Add the mSATA to the NAS board -Put the heat sink on the OrangePI, connect the PI to the NAS board -Screw in the whole assembly -If a SATA drive is used, connect the cable to the drive and mount the drive to the case -Mount the uUSB above the SATA drive -Connect the uUSB to the OrangePI -Connect the USB A to the NAS board -Connect the SATA and Power cables to the NAS board -Cut the light conducting plastic so it ends flush at the front and overlaps the OrangePI's LEDs -Chamfer the LED-ends ot the light conducting plastic -Put in the two pieces and fix their LED-ends with some hot glue over the respective LEDs -Mount the 3mm LED -Solder the LED w/ resistor (do NOT forget that one!) and the Fan to the USB plug and put that in
