DIY NAS build on a budget! (Raspberry Pi 5, Radxa Penta HAT, OpenMediaVault)
Published at : 23 Dec 2025
Quick video about my new NAS using the surprisingly expensive Raspberry Pi 5 and the Radxa Penta hat. I'm on a budget so the lifespan of the hdd don't matter and since I'm not keeping any important data there I'm using second hand HHDs. If you are going to make any kind of NAS for your precious memories or important data please get new HDDs or SSDs. Since this video I've also made an enclosure for it that I might upload sometime in the future. EDIT : you can see the case for it here : https://youtu.be/w_SK9mqk60k
