It can. You just need to figure out how to power 4 drives. Also (I am stating the obvious) you need a PCIe SATA adapter with 4 ports which would work.

Hm... yes you're right. Somehow I was under the impression there are 4 inputs on that PCIe card. (I'm still waiting for my order)

I guess if there a HAT providing 2 x USB 3.0 inputs, the above build would have been doable!

Hello, quite new on the forum and I looking into buying a rockpro to hos a relisio.
Instead of HDD I want to Use SSD and therefore the ROCKPro64 PCI-e X4 to M.2/NGFF NVMe SSD Interface Card

would it fit in the NAS box? I would assume so but just wanted to have confirmation prior to ordering one.

thanks!

should fit, you can only install one NVMe SSD.

It's a cute little SATA card that sells in the PINE store. Might take a little looking to find another one that fits in the case, but I know there are people running 4, 5 or maybe more disks off of such a card. Once I play with this a ilttle while, I might look into building another for more disks.

The multiple NVME cards I've used require setting PCIe bifurcation (or dual bifurcation for 4X) in the BIOs, I have no idea whether there's an equivalent way to use the slot on the RockPro64

it doesn't get happy
it doesn't get sad
it just runs programs

Read from reddit that someone is trying to build a router using an Intel PCI-E dual Ethernet card out of the case.

I'd like to know if someone can confirm if there's enough room for a standard PCI-E Ethernet card?

I only have access to older Intel dual gigabit cards (PRO/1000 PT) and with it's length of 130 mm it would fit but it would be touching the case (so I wouldn't do it). Smile

The bracket (the metal piece where you put the screw) is smaller, I measure it to be 80 mm which should match the standard of the "PCI Low-Profile bracket".

A bit of searching shows that there are a number of cards out there that would fit, although I didn't find any IntelConfused
