  1. just a few days ago I posted this just a few days ago I posted this absolute atrocity on Twitter and there absolute atrocity on Twitter and there absolute atrocity on Twitter and there were many people curious too what the were many people curious too what the were many people curious too what the hell it is right here I have all the hell it is right here I have all the hell it is right here I have all the random wires cords and components to random wires cords and components to random wires cords and components to make myself the Franken ads an absolute make myself the Franken ads an absolute make myself the Franken ads an absolute atrocity that actually worked pretty atrocity that actually worked pretty atrocity that actually worked pretty well it's all going to be powered by well it's all going to be powered by well it's all going to be powered by this azima board and the whole point of this azima board and the whole point of this azima board and the whole point of this little project was to actually test this little project was to actually test this little project was to actually test the SATA connectors and Power on the the SATA connectors and Power on the the SATA connectors and Power on the zema board to see if it works zema board to see if it works zema board to see if it works additionally a company called icy doc additionally a company called icy doc additionally a company called icy doc sent me an email trying to send me sent me an email trying to send me sent me an email trying to send me something to review something to review something to review and I had absolutely no use for anything and I had absolutely no use for anything and I had absolutely no use for anything on their website but I have a problem on their website but I have a problem on their website but I have a problem with saying no to free Tech thus they with saying no to free Tech thus they with saying no to free Tech thus they sent me this thing what this is is a sent me this thing what this is is a sent me this thing what this is is a trailer 3.5 inch hard drive enclosure trailer 3.5 inch hard drive enclosure trailer 3.5 inch hard drive enclosure this right here is the specific product this right here is the specific product this right here is the specific product page you can see it right here it's page you can see it right here it's page you can see it right here it's technically supposed to go in the tower technically supposed to go in the tower technically supposed to go in the tower computer like this but I figured why not computer like this but I figured why not computer like this but I figured why not just try to zip tie a zoom aboard to it just try to zip tie a zoom aboard to it just try to zip tie a zoom aboard to it this over here is the zimmabort it's this over here is the zimmabort it's this over here is the zimmabort it's about 200 for the eight gigabyte model about 200 for the eight gigabyte model about 200 for the eight gigabyte model which is the minimum RAM requirement for which is the minimum RAM requirement for which is the minimum RAM requirement for True Nas which is what I'm going to be True Nas which is what I'm going to be True Nas which is what I'm going to be trying to use to make it into a Nas but trying to use to make it into a Nas but trying to use to make it into a Nas but then I ran into my first issue when I then I ran into my first issue when I then I ran into my first issue when I got this I realized this uses the got this I realized this uses the got this I realized this uses the standard 15 pin SATA power and two of standard 15 pin SATA power and two of standard 15 pin SATA power and two of them mind you not this uh single four them mind you not this uh single four them mind you not this uh single four pin SATA power that is on the Zima board pin SATA power that is on the Zima board pin SATA power that is on the Zima board so that's when this guy comes in this is so that's when this guy comes in this is so that's when this guy comes in this is a two millimeter four pin to 15 pin hard a two millimeter four pin to 15 pin hard a two millimeter four pin to 15 pin hard disk drive Sata power adapter this is disk drive Sata power adapter this is disk drive Sata power adapter this is the product page it's currently the product page it's currently the product page it's currently unavailable I couldn't find one that

  2. unavailable I couldn't find one that unavailable I couldn't find one that splits off to two so I needed another splits off to two so I needed another splits off to two so I needed another adapter we have a simple 15 pin y adapter we have a simple 15 pin y adapter we have a simple 15 pin y splitter this is two male ends this has splitter this is two male ends this has splitter this is two male ends this has a female and two male lens plug this a female and two male lens plug this a female and two male lens plug this into the four pin and then there we go into the four pin and then there we go into the four pin and then there we go we have our SATA power now I'm not too we have our SATA power now I'm not too we have our SATA power now I'm not too knowledgeable on electricity currents knowledgeable on electricity currents knowledgeable on electricity currents Watt hours anything like that this zema Watt hours anything like that this zema Watt hours anything like that this zema board only inputs about 12 volts so my board only inputs about 12 volts so my board only inputs about 12 volts so my initial worry was that this simply initial worry was that this simply initial worry was that this simply wouldn't work because not only does it wouldn't work because not only does it wouldn't work because not only does it have to make the hard drive spin there's have to make the hard drive spin there's have to make the hard drive spin there's actually a fan and a couple lights on actually a fan and a couple lights on actually a fan and a couple lights on this little enclosure that it needs to this little enclosure that it needs to this little enclosure that it needs to power but believe it or not it was power but believe it or not it was power but believe it or not it was enough power let's tilt this down a enough power let's tilt this down a enough power let's tilt this down a little bit shall we so here's the little bit shall we so here's the little bit shall we so here's the atrocity who we're just going to plug in atrocity who we're just going to plug in atrocity who we're just going to plug in the set of power one right here one the set of power one right here one the set of power one right here one right here and now we of course need right here and now we of course need right here and now we of course need some data transfer now this is a three some data transfer now this is a three some data transfer now this is a three Bay The Zuma Port only supports two so I Bay The Zuma Port only supports two so I Bay The Zuma Port only supports two so I went with the top one and the bottom one went with the top one and the bottom one went with the top one and the bottom one just so there's a little more airflow in just so there's a little more airflow in just so there's a little more airflow in between them between them between them plug that in there plug that in there so plug that in there plug that in there so plug that in there plug that in there so there's our back ends looking pretty there's our back ends looking pretty there's our back ends looking pretty good these right here are some Iron Gate good these right here are some Iron Gate good these right here are some Iron Gate Nas hard drives they're four terabytes Nas hard drives they're four terabytes Nas hard drives they're four terabytes there what I have been using in my Nas there what I have been using in my Nas there what I have been using in my Nas well my main Synology now and I do kind well my main Synology now and I do kind well my main Synology now and I do kind of like how this is trailers you just go of like how this is trailers you just go of like how this is trailers you just go ahead ahead ahead plug her on in do the top one and plug plug her on in do the top one and plug plug her on in do the top one and plug it in now the symbic board actually has it in now the symbic board actually has it in now the symbic board actually has a proper cable to do this this is their a proper cable to do this this is their a proper cable to do this this is their cable this side is for the Zuma board we cable this side is for the Zuma board we cable this side is for the Zuma board we have the four pin we have two of the have the four pin we have two of the have the four pin we have two of the data transfer cables and then on this data transfer cables and then on this data transfer cables and then on this side is for the hard drives and this side is for the hard drives and this side is for the hard drives and this right here is why I couldn't use this

  3. right here is why I couldn't use this right here is why I couldn't use this for the enclosure for the enclosure for the enclosure now let's make our little Mount I'd use now let's make our little Mount I'd use now let's make our little Mount I'd use bigger zip ties so this is all I got I bigger zip ties so this is all I got I bigger zip ties so this is all I got I had the perfect amount too there we go had the perfect amount too there we go had the perfect amount too there we go look at that it's beginning to look like look at that it's beginning to look like look at that it's beginning to look like a proper Nas and then of course if we go a proper Nas and then of course if we go a proper Nas and then of course if we go ahead and plug this on in we've got some ahead and plug this on in we've got some ahead and plug this on in we've got some life and some pretty good airflow now life and some pretty good airflow now life and some pretty good airflow now before we go any further I

picture I posted on Twitter the so that picture I posted on Twitter the so that picture I posted on Twitter the reason I had it hooked up to a screen reason I had it hooked up to a screen reason I had it hooked up to a screen and I had Ubuntu up I just opened up and I had Ubuntu up I just opened up and I had Ubuntu up I just opened up genome discs to make sure that they were genome discs to make sure that they were genome discs to make sure that they were actually showing up they were and I went

  4. actually showing up they were and I went actually showing up they were and I went ahead and tested out the installation of ahead and tested out the installation of ahead and tested out the installation of true Nas which used to be called freenas true Nas which used to be called freenas true Nas which used to be called freenas if you don't know it's one of the best if you don't know it's one of the best if you don't know it's one of the best open source solutions for network open source solutions for network open source solutions for network attached storage that you can use I had attached storage that you can use I had attached storage that you can use I had a little bit of trial and error getting a little bit of trial and error getting a little bit of trial and error getting it to install on this thing but I did it to install on this thing but I did it to install on this thing but I did eventually get it to install on the eventually get it to install on the eventually get it to install on the built-in emmc flash storage and boot up built-in emmc flash storage and boot up built-in emmc flash storage and boot up and all that so going forward this is and all that so going forward this is and all that so going forward this is the process so booting up the Zuma board the process so booting up the Zuma board the process so booting up the Zuma board here directly into the USB that we here directly into the USB that we here directly into the USB that we flashed this on I used etcher it's going flashed this on I used etcher it's going flashed this on I used etcher it's going to take us to this little splash screen to take us to this little splash screen to take us to this little splash screen with some options we're just gonna let with some options we're just gonna let with some options we're just gonna let it run and go ahead and boot into the it run and go ahead and boot into the it run and go ahead and boot into the true as installer now in here we're true as installer now in here we're true as installer now in here we're going to have a couple different things going to have a couple different things going to have a couple different things we could do we have install and upgrade we could do we have install and upgrade we could do we have install and upgrade we can go into our shell reboot our we can go into our shell reboot our we can go into our shell reboot our system or shut down the system if we system or shut down the system if we system or shut down the system if we would like to but I'm going to go ahead would like to but I'm going to go ahead would like to but I'm going to go ahead and install it now up on top here we can and install it now up on top here we can and install it now up on top here we can see our two four terabyte hard drives see our two four terabyte hard drives see our two four terabyte hard drives and below that are the three different and below that are the three different and below that are the three different partitions available for the emmc flash partitions available for the emmc flash partitions available for the emmc flash storage that we have on our Zuma board storage that we have on our Zuma board storage that we have on our Zuma board now I tried to install it over all of now I tried to install it over all of now I tried to install it over all of these partitions previously it did not these partitions previously it did not these partitions previously it did not work so I went ahead and selected the work so I went ahead and selected the work so I went ahead and selected the very first one select OK and since I did very first one select OK and since I did very first one select OK and since I did test this in the past it's going to ask test this in the past it's going to ask test this in the past it's going to ask me if I want to upgrade or do a fresh me if I want to upgrade or do a fresh me if I want to upgrade or do a fresh install if this is your first time install if this is your first time install if this is your first time installing it's not going to ask you installing it's not going to ask you installing it's not going to ask you this so I'm going to go ahead and pick this so I'm going to go ahead and pick this so I'm going to go ahead and pick fresh install and then we're going to go fresh install and then we're going to go fresh install and then we're going to go ahead and format the boot device that's ahead and format the boot device that's ahead and format the boot device that's going to give us a quick rundown we're going to give us a quick rundown we're going to give us a quick rundown we're going to proceed with the installation going to proceed with the installation going to proceed with the installation and then go ahead and type in a password and then go ahead and type in a password and then go ahead and type in a password now from there we have the option for now from there we have the option for now from there we have the option for UEFI or bios now I did try to do this UEFI or bios now I did try to do this UEFI or bios now I did try to do this with UEFI but it's having issues booting with UEFI but it's having issues booting with UEFI but it's having issues booting so this time I went ahead and selected so this time I went ahead and selected so this time I went ahead and selected bios and then from there it's going to bios and then from there it's going to bios and then from there it's going to begin the actual installation process begin the actual installation process begin the actual installation process this takes about 10 minutes so just let this takes about 10 minutes so just let this takes about 10 minutes so just let it do its thing and when it's all done it do its thing and when it's all done it do its thing and when it's all done you're going to see true Nas

  5. you're going to see true Nas you're going to see true Nas installation succeeded so from there I'm installation succeeded so from there I'm installation succeeded so from there I'm going to go ahead and shut down the going to go ahead and shut down the going to go ahead and shut down the machine and pull out our disk now the machine and pull out our disk now the machine and pull out our disk now the splash screen is going to look similar splash screen is going to look similar splash screen is going to look similar but this time it's booting into true Nas but this time it's booting into true Nas but this time it's booting into true Nas that is installed on our Zuma board and that is installed on our Zuma board and that is installed on our Zuma board and the first boot takes some time and for the first boot takes some time and for the first boot takes some time and for some reason it did this for quite a some reason it did this for quite a some reason it did this for quite a while but ultimately it did complete the while but ultimately it did complete the while but ultimately it did complete the setup here we have a few options on the setup here we have a few options on the setup here we have a few options on the actual machine itself but at this point actual machine itself but at this point actual machine itself but at this point we're going to go ahead and use that IP we're going to go ahead and use that IP we're going to go ahead and use that IP address listed on the screen there and address listed on the screen there and address listed on the screen there and log into the web portal or the username log into the web portal or the username log into the web portal or the username that is going to be root that is the that is going to be root that is the that is going to be root that is the default and then you're going to want to default and then you're going to want to default and then you're going to want to put in the password that you typed in put in the password that you typed in put in the password that you typed in when you actually set this thing up so when you actually set this thing up so when you actually set this thing up so let's log in and here is the true Nas let's log in and here is the true Nas let's log in and here is the true Nas dashboard on the zimport so we have our dashboard on the zimport so we have our dashboard on the zimport so we have our version here we have some CPU usage here version here we have some CPU usage here version here we have some CPU usage here it's using about a percent or zero our it's using about a percent or zero our it's using about a percent or zero our memory usage so it looks like we're memory usage so it looks like we're memory usage so it looks like we're using about 2.2 our interfaces there are using about 2.2 our interfaces there are using about 2.2 our interfaces there are two of them on these Emma board so we two of them on these Emma board so we two of them on these Emma board so we have our main internet right there and have our main internet right there and have our main internet right there and yeah so far it's looking so good I just yeah so far it's looking so good I just yeah so far it's looking so good I just want to make sure that those drives are want to make sure that those drives are want to make sure that those drives are still going to be showing up so we could still going to be showing up so we could still going to be showing up so we could go over here under storage disks and yep go over here under storage disks and yep go over here under storage disks and yep there they are awesome so what we're there they are awesome so what we're there they are awesome so what we're going to do real quick is actually try going to do real quick is actually try going to do real quick is actually try to make it shareable make an instant B to make it shareable make an instant B to make it shareable make an instant B and all that so we need to start off and all that so we need to start off and all that so we need to start off with a pool so let's add a new pool with a pool so let's add a new pool with a pool so let's add a new pool create a new pool create pool and select create a new pool create pool and select create a new pool create pool and select those two drives we installed boom and those two drives we installed boom and those two drives we installed boom and then from here there's only two drives then from here there's only two drives then from here there's only two drives so there's not going to be much when it so there's not going to be much when it so there's not going to be much when it comes to the actual raid type that we comes to the actual raid type that we comes to the actual raid type that we could go ahead and select since there's could go ahead and select since there's could go ahead and select since there's only two drives I'm just gonna go ahead only two drives I'm just gonna go ahead only two drives I'm just gonna go ahead and mirror it so if we do lose a drive and mirror it so if we do lose a drive and mirror it so if we do lose a drive all the data will be recoverable from

  7. be permissions there we go owner I'm be permissions there we go owner I'm going to make myself the owner Brandon going to make myself the owner Brandon going to make myself the owner Brandon and then we have all the various and then we have all the various and then we have all the various permissions and all this looks good so permissions and all this looks good so permissions and all this looks good so let's save that and now I'm the owner of let's save that and now I'm the owner of let's save that and now I'm the owner of that there we go so now I'm going to that there we go so now I'm going to that there we go so now I'm going to apply user and apply the group save that apply user and apply the group save that apply user and apply the group save that there we go now let's create our SMB there we go now let's create our SMB there we go now let's create our SMB share shall we so sharing Windows shares share shall we so sharing Windows shares share shall we so sharing Windows shares add a new share let's go ahead and go add a new share let's go ahead and go add a new share let's go ahead and go with our Zuma data path we'll call it with our Zuma data path we'll call it with our Zuma data path we'll call it zema data and submit that and from here zema data and submit that and from here zema data and submit that and from here new ACL it's configure now and go with new ACL it's configure now and go with new ACL it's configure now and go with restricted continue and all this looks restricted continue and all this looks restricted continue and all this looks good I'm the owner so I should be able good I'm the owner so I should be able good I'm the owner so I should be able to access that and save theoretically to access that and save theoretically to access that and save theoretically now let's go ahead and connect to it now let's go ahead and connect to it now let's go ahead and connect to it let's open up this first I'm going to let's open up this first I'm going to let's open up this first I'm going to see if it's just going to show up oh see if it's just going to show up oh see if it's just going to show up oh there it is let's see if this works ah there it is let's see if this works ah there it is let's see if this works ah no there's probably a way to fix this no there's probably a way to fix this no there's probably a way to fix this but I don't know enough yet let's go to but I don't know enough yet let's go to but I don't know enough yet let's go to this PC and this PC and this PC and at a network location so next next at a network location so next next at a network location so next next and this is Windows so I need to use and this is Windows so I need to use and this is Windows so I need to use backslashes instead I think it's 192.168.0.32 and then I'm pretty sure 192.168.0.32 and then I'm pretty sure it's uh it's uh it's uh Zima data and okay Zima data and okay Zima data and okay it worked so I'm just going to call this it worked so I'm just going to call this it worked so I'm just going to call this Zima data truenad server make this look Zima data truenad server make this look Zima data truenad server make this look a little prettier here we go next and a little prettier here we go next and a little prettier here we go next and open this location when I finish so open this location when I finish so open this location when I finish so there we go here is my user folder and there we go here is my user folder and there we go here is my user folder and now let's go ahead and move some big

  8. now let's go ahead and move some big now let's go ahead and move some big files and test her out here we have some files and test her out here we have some files and test her out here we have some true Nas and Ubuntu right here pretty true Nas and Ubuntu right here pretty true Nas and Ubuntu right here pretty large thing so let's see if my data large thing so let's see if my data large thing so let's see if my data transfer speed is what I'm expecting so transfer speed is what I'm expecting so transfer speed is what I'm expecting so let's drag and drop that in there oh let's drag and drop that in there oh let's drag and drop that in there oh that's painfully slow that's painfully slow that's painfully slow oh basically 10 megabytes a second but I oh basically 10 megabytes a second but I oh basically 10 megabytes a second but I did just screw up my Wi-Fi drivers if I did just screw up my Wi-Fi drivers if I did just screw up my Wi-Fi drivers if I screw up I reinstalled windows and I screw up I reinstalled windows and I screw up I reinstalled windows and I know something's off so what I'm going know something's off so what I'm going know something's off so what I'm going to do is find some better conditions to do is find some better conditions to do is find some better conditions real quick and test it there so what I real quick and test it there so what I real quick and test it there so what I did is I went and got my laptop that has did is I went and got my laptop that has did is I went and got my laptop that has pop OS on it plugged it directly into my pop OS on it plugged it directly into my pop OS on it plugged it directly into my router and first I'm testing out router and first I'm testing out router and first I'm testing out uploading a file directly to our Zima uploading a file directly to our Zima uploading a file directly to our Zima data folder and we can see that upload data folder and we can see that upload data folder and we can see that upload speed is just under 100 megabytes per speed is just under 100 megabytes per speed is just under 100 megabytes per second now copying the file and pasting second now copying the file and pasting second now copying the file and pasting it back into our local machine saw it back into our local machine saw it back into our local machine saw speeds just under 90 megabytes per speeds just under 90 megabytes per speeds just under 90 megabytes per second now for what I'm used to for second now for what I'm used to for second now for what I'm used to for example with my Synology Nas this is example with my Synology Nas this is example with my Synology Nas this is basically on par with what I've been basically on par with what I've been basically on par with what I've been getting when it comes to overall data getting when it comes to overall data getting when it comes to overall data network transfer speeds so for this network transfer speeds so for this network transfer speeds so for this little jankity setup I do have to say little jankity setup I do have to say little jankity setup I do have to say I'm gonna have to give it a pass I'm gonna have to give it a pass I'm gonna have to give it a pass additionally they have this over here I additionally they have this over here I additionally they have this over here I could have attached the nvme SSD to it could have attached the nvme SSD to it could have attached the nvme SSD to it just installed true Nas on that but I just installed true Nas on that but I just installed true Nas on that but I mean overall this is a kind of a fairly mean overall this is a kind of a fairly mean overall this is a kind of a fairly decent solution a lot of NASA's ship decent solution a lot of NASA's ship decent solution a lot of NASA's ship with Celeron processors anyway I mean with Celeron processors anyway I mean with Celeron processors anyway I mean spec wise this is pretty close to what spec wise this is pretty close to what spec wise this is pretty close to what we've kind of put together here let's we've kind of put together here let's we've kind of put together here let's see how much it is yeah this is a little see how much it is yeah this is a little see how much it is yeah this is a little bit of a janky setup but it is bit of a janky setup but it is bit of a janky setup but it is technically a better value so with that technically a better value so with that technically a better value so with that I'll go ahead and link to all this stuff I'll go ahead and link to all this stuff I'll go ahead and link to all this stuff down below you can use the Zimmer board down below you can use the Zimmer board down below you can use the Zimmer board for a lot of things the reason I like it for a lot of things the reason I like it for a lot of things the reason I like it versus like the Raspberry Pi orange pie

  9. versus like the Raspberry Pi orange pie versus like the Raspberry Pi orange pie any of those is it's a x86 so it's not a any of those is it's a x86 so it's not a any of those is it's a x86 so it's not a arm CPU so there's a lot more software arm CPU so there's a lot more software arm CPU so there's a lot more software availability for it but it is a Celeron availability for it but it is a Celeron availability for it but it is a Celeron you win some you lose some with all that you win some you lose some with all that you win some you lose some with all that I do hope you all have a absolutely I do hope you all have a absolutely I do hope you all have a absolutely beautiful day and good bye

Summary

The main theme is building a DIY NAS using a Zima board and a hard drive enclosure. Key subjects include the Zima board, SATA connectors, power adapters, and the TrueNAS operating system. The practical takeaway is that despite initial complications with power compatibility and available adapters, the Franken-NAS with a Zima board and a repurposed 3.5-inch hard drive enclosure successfully powered the drives and their accessories.
