We now have some working samples, we can provide up to 5 samples to Jeff's fans. The only requirement is to provide some test report here. Anyone interested?

I would be interested, but i don't think i am an ideal candidate since i don't currently own a Raspberry Pi CM4 (damn chip shortage) and live in germany so i don't know about shipping.

I would be interested too. Got a CM4 WiFi 8GB 32GB, WD Red Disks 3+4TB and a PM991 (still waiting for my Piunora). With some SATA extension cords the hardware would be ready to go then.
What kind of test reports do you want? Power usage, thermal, mechanical improvements? Reports by OpenMediaVault?
Be interested, but in the UK.

@hipboi - Oh WOW. This is like... exactly the NAS board I've been dreaming someone would make.
How do I get my hands on one for testing? Case or not, if you can get this thing into production, I think it's going to be an incredibly compelling alternative to most of the SMB/home office NASes on the market!
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I am in Canada and do not own yet a CM4, but this would be a perfect reason to order one right away :-)
Echo the sentiment that this is board I've been looking for. I'm interested in using it to try out zfs on Ubuntu, snapraid/mergerFS, and other NAS software solutions.

I would be interested. What sort of testing are you looking for? Do you have test plans/cases? Do you need test tracking through a specific tool like rally or just general feedback via github?

I am interested. Currently working on a board with similar specs, but not a NAS. It will be interesting to test thermals on your board and also speed while using the RTL8125 and the drives at the same time through the PCIe switch.
@geerlingguy surely we can send you one :-) I can't wait to see it in your video, haha.
For who owns the CM4 above, send me an email of your shipping address with a contact phone number. Please refer this github link in the email. tom@radxa.com We will ship immediately.
The case is still in design, planning to make pluggable HDD, also need to cool the CM4 and HDDs. The mechanical design is tricky.
The mechanical design is tricky.
@hipboi That's the reason I'd leave building a case to established manufacturers of enclosures :) Are there good reasons for re-inventing the wheel? How about using a ITX case by making the board and connectors compatible with ITX standard?
@mi-hol
ITX is another direction, what we want to archive is, a small desktop NAS instead of a PC enclosure. Something like we done for the Raspberry Pi 4.
For the ITX case, we are planning something else for it. It will be Quad A55 based, 8GB ECC ram, dual SAS connector for 4 SATA each.
Hi Im got CM4 and I'm interested in this. Let me know how to get it to be tester
Update: 5 samples are gone.
When will it be released?
I just received my board today. Like, a couple minutes ago. This thing is very, very neat. Going to be playing around with it soon!
I spent some time testing the board over the weekend. Here are my initial thoughts and notes:
mdadm
RAID configurations.Board has been added to the site, going to open a new issue for testing: https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/issues/268
I'm currently testing the board, however here are some first pics
Closing this issue, and let's focus on adding test data to the related issue: #268.
This board looks absolutely amazing. Maybe I could finally just go straight RPi NAS finally if this is ever available for sale :-)
Did this make it into production? A google search for radxa taco returned only this thread. I’m currently running a four drive zfs draid system with Radxa’s earlier nas product. This would allow me to add ssd zil and cache.
@fluxsmith - AFAICT this is still in final development, but I have an early prototype that I'm testing. I hope it will make it to production soon! See: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/boards_cm/radxa-taco.html
Hi there!
I am running a 40TB storage cluster using 2 RaspberryPIs 4s with 8GB RAM with two 5xSATA-to-USB3 enclosures, each with 5x4TB drives. Currently under FreeBSD with ZFS in raidz mode (linux has issues with ZFS and USB) with the two nodes glued together using GlusterFS, with an additional RaspberryPI 4 with 4GB RAM as an arbiter node. Would love to compare the performance to CM4s and this board!
Any chance to buy these soon? Are you interested in ZFS+GlusterFS performance figures?
Cheers,
Radek
@rejsmont - ZFS + GlusterFS on top of two Raspberry Pi 4s with USB-to-SATA adapters, you do live on the edge!

Knock on the wood - uptime of 3 months now, mean load of 20GB/day, zero issues thus far... I guess credit goes to the FreeBSD usb-storage driver implementation 😅

Yes I want to know more!!!! This is really bleeding edge 😂 could you share a little more? Can we DM on GitHub btw?
Is it possible, by any chance, to receive one of these for testing. I would love to test it. Perfect fit for home NAS with some additional compute capabilities 🤩
Hello. The page https://wiki.radxa.com/Taco says: One M.2 M Key for NVMe SSD One M.2 E Key for WiFi 6 modules or Google Coral AI module But in the photo there is only one M.2 port. Where is the second one?
Where can you buy this board?
@vebmaster
The new hw revision changes to two m.2. This board is only available in small sample quantity at the moment.
Radxa Taco only supports "Raspberry Pi CM4" or can I connect others? If others are possible, which ones?
If you use the Coral Edge module, then the SOM "Raspberry Pi CM4" will have problems: "Installation failing on Raspberry Pi CM4 for PCI-E driver" - https://github.com/google-coral/edgetpu/issues/280
The Radxa CM3 RK3566 PCIe support:
This board is only available in small sample quantity at the moment.
Is it possible to buy 1 board from you (with two m.2 slots)? If so, how much will it cost?

Hello, I've been following this project for quite some time. Very excited to see the final product. I'm interested in getting my hands on a sample if they are still available. Would absolutely love to help test.
Please don't use this issue for product status information; please contact Radxa directly for that, or hop into their Discord to discuss availability. There aren't any more samples AFAICT, and they still plan on releasing the board for sale sometime before the end of this year.
Anyone who is interested in the Taco board, can subscribe the notification here:

Any updates on case for 3.5 drives? I'd be happy with stl files to print on a 3d printer.
I've been following this repository for quite long time. As a Raspberry Pi fan, we've been working on the Radxa Taco for a while, which is an ultimate CM4 carrier board designed for nas/server/router applications. The ideas is based on the Quad SATA HAT for the Raspberry Pi 4 and go further beyond it. The Radxa Taco has the following features:
The case is working on...
