Orange PI Zero NAS

As I mentioned earlier on Thingiverse, I really liked the original design so I decided to stick with it for other projects. Recently, I went on a shopping spree at Aliexpress and picked up an OrangePI Zero NAS expansion board, which adds a SATA port, two USBs, and an mSATA slot to the OrangePI Zero. You shouldn't expect top-notch performance since the SATA and mSATA are connected to the OrangePI's USB2 ports, but it makes for a great little fileserver as a backup for an existing NAS. OpenMediaVault 3 runs smoothly on it. To build this, you'll need: -OrangePI Zero original with H2+ processor and 100MBit Ethernet (the "plus" version is still quite beta) -OrangePI Zero NAS expansion board -At least 8GB uSDHC card (the faster and bigger, the better) -mSATA drive if desired -2.5" SATA drive if desired (you'll need an additional SATA/Power cable) -Case mount uUSB socket with cable and uUSB plug -Case mount USB A socket with cable and USB A plug -3mm LED with resistor and mount -USB A plug with solder connectors -15x15mm or 20x20mm heat sink with adhesive pad -20mm Fan (REALLY necessary!) -3mm light conducting plastic fiber for the OrangePI's status LEDs -3mm screws and nuts Assembly should be relatively easy: -Screw in the fan first -The lower USB hole is for the "A" connector. Screw that in. -Add the mSATA to the NAS board -Put the heat sink on the OrangePI, connect the PI to the NAS board -Screw in the whole assembly -If a SATA drive is used, connect the cable to the drive and mount the drive to the case -Mount the uUSB above the SATA drive -Connect the uUSB to the OrangePI -Connect the USB A to the NAS board -Connect the SATA and Power cables to the NAS board -Cut the light conducting plastic so it ends flush at the front and overlaps the OrangePI's LEDs -Chamfer the LED-ends of the light conducting plastic -Put in the two pieces and fix their LED-ends with some hot glue over the respective LEDs -Mount the 3mm LED -Solder the LED with resistor (don't forget that one!) and the Fan to the USB plug and put it in
