Review on πŸ–₯️ Enhanced Raspberry Computer: Integrated Power Supply Components for Efficient Performance by David Stewart

Revainrating 1 out of 5

You don't need a smelly hard drive mount!

where to start. Firstly, don't buy it unless you want to modify the box to work with your internal hard drive. My package looked like an open box. It was unsealed and looked like it had been pierced. Who knows, maybe the UPS guy wanted to check it out, but it was probably an open-boxed item. However, I wanted to use it. The connection and everything connected fine, but then I tripped over the hard drive bracket. Basically there is no bond. Your hard drive will fall over if you don't protect it in some way. Luckily the plastic is very cheap and I was able to get the protrusions (they prevented me from plugging in a hard drive and didn't interfere with the USB connector board on the front of the unit) and the hard drive straps (4 tb 2.5") The remote worked time and time again again. Overall the quality of the unit is poor and not worth $49 If you really need a standalone hard drive with your Pi then this is one of your few options but be prepared to modify it Edit: I have an inadequate one now Voltage detected from the PSU. The PSU is the wrong rating when tested. Now I need to fix this by purchasing a PSU with the correct rating for the box. Please avoid this rubbish. This really should be taken from Amazon

Pros
  • disk space. Additional USB to power the hard drive on the built-in board
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
