SATA Y-Cable for ZimaBoard / ZimaBlade

Ready to Dock!

The ZimaBoard was designed with compactness and efficiency in mind. The team worked through over ten layout designs to ensure a sleek, space-saving board that also provides plenty of expansion options. One challenge was finding a way to power SATA peripherals while maintaining a small form factor. The solution? A 4-pin power interface.

In February, Michael Waiblinger, a ZimaBoard backer, introduced the idea of a Y-Cable. His vision was simple: a compact cable that could connect two HDDs or SSDs to the ZimaBoard. The team quickly embraced this idea, collaborating with a manufacturer to create a custom, pure black SATA Y-Cable. After optimizing the motherboard's circuit, the board could handle the power needs of at least two 2.5-inch HDDs, perfect for building a NAS or RAID system.

Thanks to extensive community testing, the cable now supports two 3.5-inch HDDs with the ZimaBoard's 12V/3A power supply, making it an ideal tool for expanding storage on your ZimaBoard.

Key Features

  • Dual Drive Support: Connect two 2.5-inch or two 3.5-inch HDDs/SSDs for expanded storage.
  • Compact Design: The Y-Cabl's 10cm length ensures minimal space usage.
  • Power Efficient: Designed to support the power consumption of two drives with ZimaBoard's 12V/3A power supply.
  • Ideal for NAS/RAID Systems: Perfect for building a personal NAS or RAID setup using FreeNAS or UNRAID.

Zima Blade Little yet Powerful

Maybe I am not digital natives but I live with PC's since 12 years old in 1984 when IBM PC clone come to my home. Many years have passed and many operating system I've tried. For me Zima blade and Casaos was a quantum leap for home PC enthusiast and server lab machine to make me stay curious and relevant for this era.

"Regolare" (cit nevio lo stirato)

tutto ok, dall'ordine alla spedizione, nessun costo di dogana (essendo partito dalla germania) anche se ho pagato in dollari.
