Introducing ROCK Pi SATA HATs

Radxa is very happy to announce the ROCK Pi SATA HAT, a series of SATA expansion targeting at the NAS solution for Raspberry Pi 4 and ROCK Pi 4. The ROCK Pi SATA HATs come in 3 models:

• Dual/Quad SATA HAT
• Penta SATA HAT

The Dual/Quad SATA HAT is designed for Raspberry Pi 4 as well as ROCK Pi 4, and the Penta SATA HAT is designed for ROCK Pi 4 only.

Dual/Quad SATA HAT

The Dual/Quad SATA HAT utilize the USB3 buses on Raspberry Pi 4 or ROCK Pi 4, it has the following features:

• Up to 4x HDD/SSD, support 2.5inch or 3.5inch SSD

• Type C power input with USB PD/QC support for both 2.5inch SSD and Raspberry Pi 4
• External standard ATX power supply support for 3.5inch HDD
• Fan and heatsink for Raspberry Pi 4 CPU cooling
• Support HDD suspend mode
• Support UASP
• Support software RAID 0/1/5
• Optional PWM control fan for HDD heat dispatching
• Optional OLED display for IP Address/Storage info
