Seagate NAS Extention

This model extends your external seagate harddisk with extra physical space to contain a Rock64 single computer board. Picture of the original hard disk is attached so you can compare if it fits your HDD.

For my Rock64 i'm using Open Media Vault (OMV) which is a operating system design to work as a NAS for boards like the Raspberry Pi, Rock64, etc.

I can recommend this guide for installing Open Media Vault and introduce you to the features of OMV. Techno Dad does a very good job at explaining you step by step how to build your first NAS.
