Review on 🔧 UCTRONICS Ultimate Raspberry Pi 4 Rack: 19" 1U Rackmount with OLED Display, Power Switch, Cooling Fan & All IO on One Side by Paul Philippe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A little touchy UPDATED September 18, 2021

I have 4 of these to move a Raspberry Pi-4B to USB/SSD, I also have a UCTRONICS Ultimate POE rack. While I'm generally happy with this whole configuration, I've found that all cables can be a little touchy with even the slightest movement, resulting in a loss of connection to the device. I 3D printed a support/stopper for a SATA cable, fixing issues with an accidentally moved/disconnected hidden connection while working on the back of a network rack. I monitor USB connection cables to make sure they are still sensitive to working in a network rack. I had some issues with a Corsair Force GT 240GB SSD, sometimes crashing under heavy write loads. I was able to reproduce them on several Raspberry Pi and UCTRONICS SATA SSD adapters but could not find the same problem with other devices SSD or with Cors. air SSD connected via another vendor's SATA SSD adapters so I suspect it might be some weird incompatibility which is why I stopped using the Corsair SSD and haven't seen any issues since. Update: I no longer see problems with the USB/SSD connections, so I have to assume the cable tension worked. Я обнаружил проблему при добавлении еще одного Raspberry Pi 4B, кажется, что зазор платы очень мал, а некоторые точки пайки закорочены на раме, вызывая некоторые странные проблемы с питанием, я обрезал все точки пайки Raspberry Pi, насколько это возможно, и больше не вижу No problem. Like others I found the fans to be a little noisy so I replaced them with a version I used with some other Raspberry Pi cases and as long as the fan size was larger I was able to 3D print the fan cover so I could add and add to it Reduce noise to an acceptable level. I still love the product for how it cleaned up my Raspberry Pi farm.

Pros
