Review on πŸ”Œ Raspberry Pi Shutdown Reset and SSD Splitter by RETROFLAG by Andrew Mclemore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

DON'T LET THE NOSTALGIA CONCERN YOU. THIS IS NOT READY.

There are many detailed reviews out there so I'll keep it short and sweet. The hardware used internally is some of the cheapest I've come across. The fan is SUPER loud if you live in a quiet house (no pets or kids here)2. The thermal pads aren't even big enough for the chipset.3. There's also an issue with the USB bus they use, which doesn't properly take advantage of 3.0 speeds, and even more so for SSDs housed in a cartridge. There is also the problem that the case interferes with the WLAN. If you use the cartridge slot to connect an HDD/SSD or SSHD you also lose the functionality of some of the Pi ports (which I think is a good compromise for the cartridge part). . worked correctly, ie).5. The holes on the case are unthreaded, my unit which was purchased during launch week has a warp so it could be faulty and finally there are reports of pin shorts where it is drawing power. 6. I'm pretty sure this is from parts of her body for 3b's7. There's more, but I'll keep it "short". The good ones. 1. He looks great. 2. The cartridge is a great peripheral (when working properly). 3. Thank you for including a decent cooler. (which was quieter) 4. Nostalgia THIS SUITCASE IS NOT READY, DO NOT BUY NOW. KEEP THE + VERSION IF YOU GET SOMETHING ELSE.
