Raspberry Pi-5 Dual SSD Case

This case is designed to hold a Raspberry Pi-5 and two standard 2.5” (7mm thick) SATA SSD’s. It is based on my Raspberry Pi-5 SSD Case that was originally designed for a single SSD. 

The two SSD’s are mounted on top of each other, with front and rear spacers in between to allow for airflow as well as clearance for the SATA connectors. (The red pieces in the image below.)

The Pi just sits in the base and is held firm by the lid - no screws required. There are also keyhole mounts on the back for mounting on a surface.

There’s an optional power button, if required. You’ll probably need to tidy the hole with a 3mm drill after printing and then simply hold the button in place while mounting the Pi in the base.

If you have some clear 1.75mm filament, you can add a of light pipe to extend the LED to the outside of the case. 

The 40mm fan just presses in – once again, no screws required. I’ve found that running a 5 volt fan from a 3.3 volt GPIO pin creates plenty of airflow to keep the CPU cool. I’m also running my Pi-5 with a Waveshare passive heatsink. 

I’ve included an adapter so you can use a 30mm fan, if that is your want. It’s a pretty tight fit though - you may need appropriate encouragement. 

The SATA to USB3 cables connect the SSD’s to the Pi. The one’s I’m using here are from Pimoroni, but there are plenty of others. Be sure that yours is compatible with the Pi as not all are. This site has a list of tested adapters.
