The body of the case is made from 3D printed black PLA with laser-cut acrylic side panels, showing off your Raspberry Pi and other hardware with the LED fan lighting everything up. The kit holds your [Raspberry Pi 4](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/boards/model-b.html) (**not included**) and comes with an M.2 SSD expansion board allowing you to use your Raspberry Pi with a [120GB](https://core-electronics.com.au/western-digital-green-m-2-sata-ssd-120gb.html) or [240GB M.2 SSD](https://core-electronics.com.au/western-digital-green-m-2-sata-ssd-240gb.html) (**not included** - NGFF 2280 Key-B style only). An 0.96" OLED display is included to fit the front of the enclosure to code your own information display for your project. A [52Pi ICE Tower cooler](https://core-electronics.com.au/ice-tower-cpu-cooling-fan-for-raspberry-pi-4.html) is also included in the kit to keep your Raspberry Pi cool whilst also illuminating the case with the LED fan. A standard black fan is included for more subtle setups! All Raspberry Pi ports are accessible including the GPIO pins via the included right-angle adapter which you can connect to a [ribbon cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/gpio-ribbon-cable-for-raspberry-pi-model-b-40-pins.html) (***not included***). **Important Information** - This kit **does not come with** a Raspberry Pi, M.2 SSD, SD card or power supply - Only accepts NGFF 2280 Key-B M.2 SSDs - It should also be noted that you shouldn't use an M.2 SSD with a higher power rating than around 5.5W. NVME Drives are keyed differently to show that they require a PCIe interface, so they won't work with this board! - The main body of the case is 3D printed and may have rough sections - The M.2 Expansion supports UASP but does not support TRIM **Features** - Fit for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Only - Ideal storage solution for Raspberry Pi 4 - Build Your own NAS! - Allows booting OS from your HDD/SSD for faster app opens, web serving and file copying - Blue LED indicator indicates drive status - Create your own information display with the included 0.96" OLED display - High-performance heat dissipation **Package Contents** - 1x 3D printed case body - 2x laser-cut side panels (remove the protective film when installing) - 1x ICE Tower Cooler (with LED and black fan) - 2x OLED displays - 1x M.2 Expansion board - 1x GPIO edge expansion board - 1x USB 3.1 adapter - 1x User guide - Fixings and standoffs - Screwdrivers *(the user guide lists a power supply as included, however we stock the version without a power supply)* ![Raspberry Pi Mini NAS contents](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/52-pi-mini-raspberry-pi-nas-kit_10_986294d1d4d.jpg) **Specifications** - Only supports M.2/NGFF SSD Key-B 2280 length - X862 M.2 Expansions V2.0 Supports UASP (TRIM not supported) - Integrated USB 3.1 Gen1 to SATA 6Gb/s bridge controller - Integrated high-efficiency step-down converter, 3.3V max 4A to power the SSD - USB3.1 Gen1 5Gb/s connectivity offers plug-and-play functionality on your Raspberry Pi 4 - Custom-made USB 3.1 jumper to connect with Raspberry Pi - no cables required! - I2C protocol 0.96" OLED Screen - OLED resolution: 128x64 pixels - OLED driver: SSD1306 - Classic ICE Tower Cooler **Resources** - [How to Enable OLED Display](https://wiki.52pi.com/index.php/S-0005) - [About X862 V2.0 M.2 NGFF SATA SSD Shield](https://wiki.52pi.com/index.php/X862_SKU:_EZ-0096) **Assembly** *Please peel off the protective film from the side panels before fitting!* ![Mini NAS assembly 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/52-pi-mini-raspberry-pi-nas-kit_1_96451c90a57.jpg) ![Mini NAS assembly 2](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/52-pi-mini-raspberry-pi-nas-kit_2_10193a2cf36.jpg) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/c/e/ce08473.jpg)
