Obviously this deal is not for you, but this might help - https://lmgtfy.com/?q=What+can+Raspberry+Pi+4+do%3F
Why is this asked every single post? There’s so many results from a quick Google.
Just buy it anyway, you can figure it out later.
Does anyone know where one can get a raspberry pie completely assembled with power supply and preconfigured as a usb HDD NAS type server over network.
I dont want to put it together myself.
I want to buy it pre built ready to go.
Anyone know where i can get that.But that's part of the fun of having a raspberry pi. Tinkering with it.
Personally can't understand why you would want to use one of these but not want to understand how to use it.
Well if anyone can point to a non raspberry pie device that does the same functions as a usb nas server for the same price i will take that.
I just want something that works.
But in all my searching a RP device is the only thing i found that would perform such a function for the price.
But i dont want to assemble anything.You save by assembling it yourself.
Higher price nas because someone prebuilt it for you.
What features of a NAS are you after? Just storage?
I have 4 or 5 usb external 2.5 drives 3TB each.
I want to share them all over the network for read and write.
all formatted ntfs.
no RAID required. Just share all these external hdd for network access.
Ras pie is only device i can find that can do such thing.
And i do not want to copy all the contents to a single drive.
I want to keep external drives contents separate.
I dont want to share them via a pc.
A RP solution is small and efficient.
Dont want to assemble it myself.
Want to buy the whole prebuilt.@manity: Well basically, you are doing it wrong.
@Elijha: Don't hold back now. Tell us what you really think. 🤣
@manity: Let me state the glaringly obvious. There's only 4 usb ports on a raspberry pi 4.
So that rules out the 5th drive.
Now for the fun part. The sharing is caring part. You would need to set that up.
@xoom: or you could plug a USB hub in. Then you could have more than 4.
@unifex: Fair point. But then they would still have to build it themselves as there are no prebuilt nas running on a pi4 you can buy.
@xoom: I think you guys are not getting @manity point, its just sharing data which can be easily done with smb using any Linux variant, I'm kind of doing the same with am old laptop with all hard drives connected via usb
@taker312: Manity wants a cheap 'just plug drives in and start sharing' setup.
All without having to build anything. The raspberry pi is not it.
Just the raspberry pi alone needs to be put together.
@xoom: Yes agreed, & he doesn't need NAS either as per the requirements :) just data sharing
I wouldnt bother bro…
Honest response… if you aren't willing to figure out how to make the NAS work I wouldn't do this.
When it breaks (and all IT breaks no matter how expensive it is) you won't be able to fix and will loose data.
The title is a bit misleading. The prices should be "from" and although the accs are in brackets they are not part of the package.
I wish I would have read your comment first, because looking at the picture it looks you might be right.
Although the description of the item also says:
"Packing list
Bundle 1:
1.Raspberry Pi 4 Model B-2GB RAM
2.Genuine Pi 4 ABS slidable case
3.EU Power Adapter 5V 3A Type-C Power Supply
4.Raspberry Pi 4 Model B HDMI cable
5.32G TF card
6.Raspberry Pi 4 Model B heatsink"
Seriously, I just ordered because it said: "Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Kit 2GB RAM (Power Adapt, Case + Heatsink) A$68.6/US$48.98 Delivered @ GearBest" and the description also says:
"Packing list
Bundle 1:
1.Raspberry Pi 4 Model B-2GB RAM
2.Genuine Pi 4 ABS slidable case
3.EU Power Adapter 5V 3A Type-C Power Supply
4.Raspberry Pi 4 Model B HDMI cable
5.32G TF card
6.Raspberry Pi 4 Model B heatsink"
Gearbest, please confirm what's in this bundle. If it's only the board, then my order can be cancelled.I don't believe it includes the SD card and is not AU power plug. So didn't get it.
Now I believe it doesn't include anything, besides the Raspberry Pi 4 2GB - which you can get quicker for the same price than gearbest.
I just read the title of this post, then copied the voucher, clicked the link, verified the item description (where it only mentioned 1 bundle) - so I ordered.Then I saw somebody comment here, so I raised a question to the seller with no response. Overnight they changed the description of the item. (I still have screenshots from when I ordered. I guess I'm not always paranoid for no reason.)
It's a very dodgy practice. This means the description is never to be trusted and you should judge the picture?
Last time I judged the picture and not the description I was fooled too (but this was an amazon seller - so I could easily return).
Can it be more dodgy - the description was now updated but I did not get any feedback on my questions, also not via gearbest.
Now it says "2GB Single: 1 x Raspberry Pi 4 Model B-2GB RAM", after I asked confirmation that all items would be included, as per description.I cancelled my order, lets see how this goes.
Me too (I paid with paypal, so could potentially open paypal claim if no action).
Asked the OP here and message the seller, if they say its includes it then ill follow through, doesn't look positive though.
Confirmed it doesn't include the PSU, heat sinks etc.
Pretty misleading title, to have a listing or an array of everything else on sale :\
Take my neg for dodgy title (changed) and still confusing description for a bare Pi4-2gb.
020/09/02 Raspberry Pi 4 Kit Raspberry Pi 4 Model B PI 4B 2GB 4GB Board+Heat Sink+Power Adapter+Case +32 64 128GB SD+HDMI Cable - 2GB Single(gearbest.com) $46.99US $66.73AU
Yeah, the title is changed because I reported it.
The description of the item on gearbest too, probably because I started having doubts and contacted the seller (still no response to me though).
The title here, + the link + the description in gearbest — all misleading.
I am over the Raspberry Pies. The only decent purpose they work in is for retro pie… Everything else they are too slow or unresponsive. Alot of good projects out there but im talking from my experience and i have have 6 RPies from Gen 2 onwards.
What can we do with Raspbery?
I have no idea why it is so popular
