1U 10-Inch Rack Mount with NVMe Adapters

This 1U rack mount fits a standard 10-inch server cabinet and is built for the Raspberry Pi 5. The steel chassis includes two PCIe to M.2 NVMe adapters that accept 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 drives. Rear I2C access via PogoPin connectors and a GPIO4 pin for LED control are provided. Spacing between boards allows passive heat dissipation.

For Pi 5 clusters needing high-speed storage

Suits builders assembling a compact Raspberry Pi 5 cluster inside a DeskPi RackMate T0, T1 or T2 cabinet who want local NVMe storage on each node. Not for users of other single-board computers or larger form-factor motherboards. Not for deployments that require tool-less drive trays or hot-swap bays.

Two PCIe to M.2 NVMe adapters included

The bundle supplies two adapters that convert PCIe lanes to M.2 slots supporting 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 NVMe SSDs. This is the specification that determines whether the rack meets your storage-expansion needs.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1U rack mount with two NVMe adapters or a version without them?

The DP-0039 includes two PCIe to M.2 NVMe adapters supporting 2230 2242 2260 and 2280 drives so you can add high speed storage immediately.

What does the 1U height mean once the unit is installed in my cabinet?

It occupies a single rack unit in a standard 10 inch server rack leaving room for other equipment above and below.

How does the PCIe interface limit the NVMe adapters in practice?

Each adapter connects through PCIe lanes from the Raspberry Pi 5 so the SSD runs at the speed the Pi 5 PCIe bus provides.
