Parts List

SkyDrive was designed to work with a Raspberry Pi 5 due to the fast speeds of the PCIe and WIFI adapter and should be compatible with any NVMe drive connected over the Pi's PCIe lanes.

Our picture build contains 3 main parts.

  1. Raspberry Pi 5
  2. X1001 PCIe to M.2 Key-M NVMe SSD PIP TOP
  3. X1202 4-Cell 18650 5.1V 5A UPS HAT

Skydrive can also be run without batteries or an ups hat, like a mini NAS server.
