Figure 8.2 shows one half of the Raspberry Pi-based NAS. Shown
are a 1TB SSD and a 4TB HDD, so the capacity of our NAS is 5TB. A
user can access the NAS through another computer by simply typing
“openmediavault.local” in a browser and logging in to the dashboard.
Below is a screenshot of the UI screen.
The instruction manual added to the Argon EON enclosure is good
enough to guide you through the installation of Open Media Vault.
The installation process was not tricky, the transfer speeds were be-
tween 67 and 111 MB/s, temperatures between 33 °C (idle) and 42 °C
(when copying a file), which – even without mentioning how good it
looks – makes it one of the best Raspberry Pi-powered NAS solutions
still available at the time of writing this monograph.
8.2 Advanced RPi-based DAC 8.2
It did not come as a surprise that at the end of 2020 some IQaudio
products were added to the Raspberry Pi fold. DAC+, DAC Pro, Digi-
AMP+, and Codec Zero became available at a competitive price (at $20,
$25, $30, and $20, respectively). 2020 was a busy year for Raspberry Pi
Foundation as they launched High Quality Camera, 8GB Raspberry Pi
4, Compute Module 4, and Raspberry Pi 400.
