Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Cooling Solution: Acrylic Case with Fan for Raspberry Pi X820 V3.0 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD Shield Expansion Board Kit by Eddie Fowler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect for X820 + Pi 3+ Board

Pros1. This is a clear acrylic so you can see all the details of the circuit board, lights and components.2. Even 12.5mm discs will fit, albeit a bit tight.3. All holes exactly match the inputs on both boards, there is enough space to install/remove the Micro SDCons1 system board. This thing is acrylic plastic, drop it from a height of more than a few inches and it will most likely "break" into no more than 6 pieces.2. Fan noise is quite audible in a quiet room. Not enough to send it back, but if it bothers you, you can skip this case.3. They might include some leg stickers but they don't. The case is easy to assemble and looks great. I use mine for Apple TimeMachine network backup. The LEDs on the circuit board and switch get in the way, so it sits in the corner of the room with other devices. If you are easily distracted by such things, use a different metal case for these boards. parked outside. I ended up putting pieces of cardboard on the front and top to keep the "law" in check.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Zero
