I’m addicted to raspberry pis and have six of them for various purposes. Hard to say no to 5 watts when you wanna spin up another thing.

Are you able to easily attach spinning rust hard drives to those? If so, how? I think those things use more than 5W on their own. Biggest question I have before planning a horizontal raspi setup. Currently I use old x64 PC boxes for self hosting.

I've used a 2.5" hdd on a rPi before using a usb-to-sata adapter (powered from rPi's USB port). I've used a 3.5" hdd using an hdd enclosure that's externally powered.

Ahh, externally powered. Thanks for the info! I’m gonna look into such external HDD enclosures..

I attached little portable USB SSD drives to them when they need the storage; otherwise I have been using raspikeys. Though I am excited about the new m2 chips on offer nowadays from RPi.

Currently my pis are used as:

  • Two separate pi holes
  • Shakenet
  • Birdnet
  • Homebridge
  • Torrent client

Yep those m2 hat things look pretty useful. Thanks for the info! Portable USB drives are something I’d overlooked.
