Pine64

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/20149880

Just got this new watch band for the pinetime and its SOO much comfier than the factory rubber watch band that comes with the pinetime. The watch uses a 20mm standard connector that every supports. The band is elastic and doesn't leave a mark on my arm, and it keeps the watch inplace so it Finally doesn't go upsidedown when I shake my arm! Got two but going to use the brighter one because it feels right.

Can anybody suggest an enclosure for the Star64 SBC ? The only one they list as compatible on the Pine64 store is the acrylic enclosure but that won't work if one wants to use the M.2 PCI-E card which I do. I think the ROCKPro64 Premium Aluminum Casing will fit well enough by looking at how the ports would line up but it would be nice to get more info before ordering.

I they have had radio silence for months and the website hasn't changed much. I wonder if there is trouble.

Has anyone had any luck building a NAS with a PCIE adapter giving 4 SATA interfaces? I want to move away from my Synology box in favor of the Pine64 solution, but the guides I'm reading all talk about a dual-PCIE-SATA card.

I've heard software RAID is the way to go. My initial plan is 4x8TB with RAID 5. That's what I'm using in my Synology currently.
