Review on RETROFLAG Raspberry Supply Cooling Heatsinks by Jacob Kuntz

I've been struggling with this for months now. I'm not a techie either. I run several Raspberry Pi servers for home automation, networking and audio streaming. I've also built a few hobby computers and have a server closet full of repurposed consumer computer hardware and enterprise servers so I have the skills to sort things out and the willingness to tinker since it's my hobby. One of the best features of this case is the SSD case and the SATA backplane that supports "NES cartridge". The problem is really simple. This USB 3 to SATA adapter is junk and barely worked even in the BEST of times. Mine won't work at all right now so I need to modify the case to make it usable. I will highlight the problems you will have: - The USB to SATA adapter runs at half the speed of your SD. cards, if not inferior as it uses a cheap, poorly supported adapter chipset. - You'll have to spend hours learning how to get this adapter to work at a decent speed, IF it works at all - even if you manage to update the SATA adapter's firmware and get barely acceptable speeds. You can forget all hopes of using a 2.4GHz wireless device. The SATA adapter causes strong interference in wireless controllers, keyboards, mice and all Bluetooth devices. I won't be returning mine as I have the means to hack this thing and get it working, but I wouldn't recommend this case to anyone. This matter requires a recall or replacement of the adapter.
