## Description

This Mini Tower NAS Kit from [52Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=52pi) is quite possibly the best looking NAS enclosure we've seen for the Raspberry Pi 4! 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**
