Building a Smarter DIY NAS: Raspberry Pi 5 Meets Radxa Penta HAT in Aluminum Enclosure with Embedded GUI
A new open-source NAS project combines Raspberry Pi 5 with Radxa's Penta SATA HAT in a custom aluminum enclosure featuring an embedded GUI for direct system monitoring and file management. The design adds USB-PD power delivery and future UPS support while sharing 3D models and PCB designs for community collaboration. This approach rethinks DIY storage by integrating physical hardware refinement with accessible software controls.
