Rock Pi 4 Penta SATA HAT
Expand your board capability with the SATA Hat
Construct your Network Attached Storage (NAS) utilizing Radxa's Rock Boards, accommodating as many as 5 HDDs/SSDs with a potential capacity of up to 100TB.
The Penta SATA HAT harnesses the M.2/PCIe interface on Radxa's ROCK Boards* to furnish a maximum of 5 SATA ports. It is essential to note that this HAT exclusively supports the Rock Pi 4 configuration when mounted on the designated heat sink.
The rationale behind adopting a configuration featuring 4 internal SATA ports and one eSATAp connection stems from its capacity to enhance flexibility in accommodating external disks within the setup.
Features
Up to 5x HDD/SSD, 2.5inch and 3.5inch storage is supported, max storage 100TB
4x SATA
1x eSATA with power
utilizes two lanes of the PCIe 2.1 bus on Rock Pi 4
DC power input with support for both 2.5inch drives and ROCK Pi 4
External standard ATX power supply support for 3.5inch HDD
HDD suspend mode support
Software RAID 0/1/5 support
Optional PWM control fan for HDD heat management
Optional OLED display for IP / Store information
PLEASE NOTE: You need to order the heat-sink with Rock 4, otherwise the Penta HAT can not be mounted on top. For use with Rock 3A please purchase the base plate for proper installation.
eSATAp
To fully take advantage of the 5th SATA port, an eSATA connector was implemented which can be exported e.g. out of the case. The eSATA connector provides both data and power. It can directly drive a 3.5-inch HDD via a single cable.
Performance
The Penta SATA HAT is powered by the JMB585 with 2 lanes and 5Gbs PCIe buses with up to 10Gbps bandwidth. With 5 SSDs configured in Raid0 mode, a speed of up to 803MB/s can be achieved.
