Pi Desktop case

Mike37
Mike37 over 8 years ago

How do I open the Pi Desktop case to install a new 2032 coin cell.

 

While im at it what SSHD is best to use? I would prefer 1TB.

 

Thanks - Mike

    You unclip the lid apparently then remove the add-on board (but if you fitted it in the first place then you knew that bit)!

    I did read somewhere that whoever designed the enclosure maybe didn't consider dismantling (a little sarcastic jab I suspect - it's difficult to get off).

     

    Re the SSHD - no idea, but I know that balearicdynamics has used a Kingston, Image in post here -> https://www.element14.com/community/message/223394/l/re-boot-from-ssd-in-pi-desktop#223394

     

    I guess it WILL need to be an mSATA form factor due to the enclosure size - maybe others can confirm?

     

    Cost would most likely be a deciding factor for me - 1TB is the maximum supported by the add-on board.

    Hello, sorry for reading this post only now image

     

    Well, I have used a Kinston SSD just because on the PI (normal PI B3) I have used the USB version. For this instead I see by the images that it is needed an SSD internal format. Despite the storage size (no idea what are the needs of every user) in this case it is the case to use an SSD like I have used for a client on the Gizmo2 with the standard micro SATA bus adapter.

     

    This is the product link (Amazon Spain) that it is not difficult to find on other Amazon sites
