FAQ
Q1. Will the Alu case affect the WIFI?
A: As our test, 2.4G WIFI AP was usable. But different Raspberry Pi individuals have different degrees of
WIFI interference. As well as aluminum alloy case will interfere with Pi 4
s WIFI to a certain extent. 2.4G
WIFI maybe unstable. So it is strongly recommend to use Ethernet or 5G AP. Refer to 5G WiFi test video:

Q2: What is the thickness of a 2.5" HDD/SSD that can be accommodated?
A: The thickness of 2.5" HDD/SSD on the market is generally 7mm, 9.5mm, 12.5 and 15mm. You only can
choose 7mm or 9.5mm thickness HDD/SSD, NASPi is not compatible with 12.5mm and 15mm thickness
2.5" HDD/SSD.The thickness of 2.5" HDD/SSD should not exceed 9.8mm. In fact, most 2.5" HDD/SSD on the
market are only 7mm thick.
Q3: Is it OK to use wireless keyboard or mouse?
A: According to our test, it is OK to use the keyboard and mouse. Refer to video: youtu.be/LKJVIBQFYXs, we
use the wireless logitech K520 keyboard and mouse.
Q4: How to find and use the Raspberry Pi 4 5G AP?
A: Please refer to here follow the steps: wiki.geekworm.com/Raspberry_pi_4_can%27t_find_5ghz_wifi
Q5: Are there any shell scripts for NASPi?
A: Yes. Need script to achieve safe shutdown and run PWMcooling fan. Script please refer to:

Q6: How to adjust the PWM fan speed?
A: You can modify these if value to adjust the speed of PWM fan.
Range of value: 0 ~ 100
0: fan stop
100: fan is full speed.

Q7: What is the read/write performance when used as a NAS?
A: The read and write performance is determined by the speed of the Raspberry Pi
s USB 3 bus and SSD. It
should be noted that the Raspberry Pi
s USB3 bandwidth is only 3Gbps. Normally, the R/W speed is about
300MB/S.
