purchased this productBest Raspberry Pi case ???
Looks absolutely great, and its tiny.
Don't make me wrong, I love it, but there are some things to note:
Out of the 4 Raspberry Pi USB ports, 1 USB-3 port is used to connect the SATA SDD, and 1 other cannot be used anymore (because of an PCB which will be blocking it). As a result you'll have only 2 USB ports remaining available (at the front of the NESPI-4 case)
On my NESPI 4 case, my 2 front USB ports are USB-2 only, whereas I've reade that some other had 1 USB-2 and 1 USB-3 ... not a real issue though for my usage.
There is an option to add a fan, but it's not included.
Its great to have the ability to switch SSD (you can by another enclusure separately on retroflag or aliexpress)
The enclosure only supports 2'5" drives of the hight of a SSD (some WD HDD can be of ssame height, they are labeled SMR)
There is a switch to control the behaviour of the Power & Reset buttons, to be able to use safe-shutdown iinstead of just cutting off the Raspberry-Pi's power.
And www.recalbox.com supports this NESPI-4 enclosure natively (so that the power button makes a safe shut-down)
It looks to much like a NES, and quality is great !Pro
