    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    I just got the replacement parts. My request for a refund was done through PayPal and they didn’t require me to send the original back to them. It has been in a box for the last 4 months or so…

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    Follow-up to my previous post today. I put mine together here and it went OK, other than a few issues: - The 3.5mm audio plug didn't want to seat even with an uncomfortable amount of force applied. I inspected the plug, and it appeared that the last insulating ring on the plug (the one closest...

    My replacement parts just arrived - haven't opened the box yet, but thought I would ask to see if anyone here had tried out the replacement yet. I too requested and received a refund on my original DeskPi case, so this email about the replacements was a nice surprise. I will be watching that...

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    Interesting - as I mentioned above, I basically "checked out", since I got my refund back from paypal. I still have the DeskPi case, sitting in the box (they didn't require me to send it back). I would be interested to see what the differences are with the new hardware, so please share what...

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    Just an update... I received my refund from Paypal this afternoon for my claim/dispute. I can't tell from the case history if the seller ever responded to the emails, but it doesn't appear that they did. So I will be keeping an eye out for other options for a fully integrated SSD housing for...

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    I escalated my Paypal claim yesterday. They never responded to the original paypal inquiry. I stated that I wanted a refund and was not willing to pay return shipping if they wanted it back - but if they cover shipping, I will ship it. If the next batch looks like it works better, I will...

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    I have yet to hear a thing from them in regards to my initial inquiry about failure to boot from SSD (sent to their support email), and my paypal claim (which was submitted 10 days ago). I think PP gives them until Jan 6 to respond before it is escalated to a claim for refund.

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    Yeah - not sure why I was having the issues I was. I successfully enabled quirks on the same Pi4 with an external USB adapter (with a non-compliant chipset). This one just refused to boot at all for me even with the quirks enabled.

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    I am about 98% sure I tried this (basically the enabling of usb quirks) when I was trying to get mine to work, and was never successful. I already removed my pi4 from the DeskPi enclosure and put it back in my Argon Neo case so I could continue using it (with confidence) for my Syncthing setup...

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    I actually got a response from their customer care a few days ago - but unfortunately it was a month-too-late response to my inquiry about when my item was shipping - they gave me the tracking number for my shipment. I got excited and thought maybe they were sending a replacement, but when I...

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    I hope you are correct. As mentioned yesterday, I haven't gotten ANY response to my support inquiry yet. They did reply previously (but it may have taken a few days) when I had inquired about when the product was shipping.

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    There must be a bit of variation in the tolerances, since I actually put mine together and as I looked at the full assembly prior to sliding it in the housing, I thought to myself - "Self, if all 8 of these screws line up I will be shocked." But once I got the guts into the enclosure, the...

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    Well, that Argon One M.2 case might let you put one of those M.2 SATA drives to work :) One other question about your issues... Did you have any issues with the HDMI connections? I spent the last hour trying to get the DeskPi to output HDMI to my Samsung 4k TV trying many different settings...

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    Yes - I am planning to migrate my Pi back into my Argon Neo case soon here. I wish I had known of the issues with the DeskPi case prior to my ordering the SATA 2.5 drive. I see that the Argon 40 M.2 case is available now, and looks to be a pretty good option to accomplish what I want -...

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    Sorry - my comment was meant to state that I found it ironic that my Asus router's built-in malicious web site protection was flagging the deskpi.com site as malicious, and labeled it in the category "Scam". I tried to whitelist the site in the router and for some reason it won't save the...

    Also - I mentioned that I haven't been able to access the deskpi.com web site for over a month. Tried on my phone tonight with wifi turned off and it worked. So I checked my routers "AiProtection" configuration and it was being blocked there as "Scam". Seems about right!

    Ha! I just googled "Deskpi pro won't boot from ssd", and this thread was one of the first that came up (if not THE first). ;-)

    RaspBerryPi 4B Cases that support HDD/SSD (NEW DeskPi-Pro), [! BAD DEAL !]

    Just joined this forum to comment on the DeskPi Pro, as my experience has not been good either! My issue is that the SSD simply won't boot the Pi4. I have tried 2 different SSDs (clones of each other - one was a perfectly booting SSD when connected to my Pi with a USB3-SATA adapter). After...
