Michael Klements has built a low-power SSD NAS around a Raspberry Pi 5. The Pi 5 NAS offers flexible storage options, a stats display, and custom carbon fiber panels. It uses both 2.5-inch SATA SSDs and NVMe storage drives.
I’ve used OpenMediaVault (OMV) as the NAS operating system, and I’ll run some real-world tests on the NAS to evaluate real-world performance across different drive options.
Two carbon fibre side panels support the 2.5-inch drives and the acrylic base for the Pi stack. A clear acrylic top panel holds a fan above the Pi’s heatsink, with a carbon fibre accent piece tying it into the side panels. A black acrylic front panel houses the OLED display. The layout is designed around easy of assembly and providing airflow to the drives and Pi.
