Video Description
Raspberry Pi 4 OMV NAS tutorial, including hardware selection, software installation and configuration. This video explains all you need to know to start using a Pi 4 -- or any other Raspberry Pi -- for sharing files across a local area network (LAN) using OpenMediaVault. PLEASE NOTE THAT since this video was made the process for installing OpenMediaVault on a Pi (or other SBC) has changed, and the software has also been significantly updated (twice!). So I have a video setting up the latest version, OpenMediaVault 6, on a Pi here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWDBYDYJVrA The Balena Etcher download page is here: https://www.balena.io/etcher/ The CrystalDiskMark download page is here: https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskmark/ The USB 3.0 to SATA adapter I use in the video is on Amazon.com here https://amzn.to/31UlUt6 and on Amazon.co.uk here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N2JIQR7/ref=nosim?tag=explainin-21 (affiliate links).
