UCTRONICS 19" 1U Rackmount for Raspberry Pi, SSD Bracket for Any 2.5" SSDs, Hold Up to 5 Raspberry Pi 5/4B Boards, Front-Removable with Captive Screws

Love It. I have 10 Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 devices and this was the perfect mounting I needed to move them to my 19" rack.I was able to mount my RPi 5 with an NVME HAT without any issues. Its tight but works find. Provides a nice clean look verses a scattering of PIs and their cases. What you will spend for 2-3 cases you can afford this mount so good value for the money.

This is a solid 1U rack module with sleds for 5 Pi’s (3B+ in my case).The pi’s solidly screwed down to the 4 posts in the sled with the small silver screws that came with the sleds.The small SSD (a Samsung in my case) mounted easily on the bottom of the sled with 4 of the small black screws that came with the sleds.The entire sled assembly then fit through the rack opening and secured with the captive screws very solidly. No issues.In my case I am powering with POE via another brand of POE hat that is fanless and very compact.The thing to be aware of is the Pi side ports such as the hdmi and the microUSB port cannot be used as there is only 1mm of clearance to the rack module opening when inserting. If you do not use POE then you should probably be powering the Pi’s from the backside with a cable that plugs the needed power into the pi’s GPIO header, where that cable has enough slack to allow the pi and power cable to be pulled out through the opening so that you can plug in the power before sliding the pi sled back into the unit.I had no issues with bent or misaligned anything. So I suspect issues related to bent metal is down to how the boxed product was handled in transit, if it is even new.

I was tired of the clutter of multiple Raspberry Pi devices scattered around my office. This rackmount solution has been a game-changer. It’s sleek, compact, and offers excellent protection for my Pis. The best part? The ability to use PoE (Power over Ethernet) has significantly streamlined my setup. No more tangled power cables or extra power outlets.Beyond the physical benefits, this rackmount has also improved device management. With all my Pi devices neatly organized in one place, it’s easier to monitor their status, troubleshoot issues, and perform maintenance. It’s a fantastic solution for anyone looking to optimize their server rack and elevate their Raspberry Pi experience.

This is a great product to add to my 4 pis to my rack. I have noticed there is not too much space when you try to add the power cable to the pi, but I have resolved that with purchasing some POE hats to go with them. Also I have an open rack, so I can access the pis very easily to restart them or change out the SD card if I want to change the OS. Also the bottom having a spot for a 2.5" drive is very helpful to get rid of the SD cards as well.

Really $60 for this? Too bad the other ones don't hold the Pi's fully and could stress the PCBs. It is easy to work with and works fine, but I expected more or a better price. No adapters included, not even the SD card one and listing your SKUs are useless (can't search for it). It does need a USB c right angle adapter or POE to fit. Too bad POE is 4x more expensive and less reliable.

I got this uctronics raspberry pi rackmount bracket because I wanted to mount my pis in a rack (like duh, lol).It does exactly that. I have mounted 3 pis into my rack so far using this bracket. Given that the pi wasn't exactly designed with rack mount systems in mind (at least i don't think it was designed with that in mind), there is issues with accessing the HDMI port and power port. I know there is other brackets that have extra boards that bring the hdmi to the front and such, but it appears that they aren't made for any pi that is below a 4, as they have the mini-hdmi to hdmi boards only (as far as I can tell).However, that is an issue with how the Pi was desinged, NOT how this bracket was designed. I chose this particular bracket because I have a few Pis. A pi 3 and 2 Pi 2s (ancient now given that Pi 5 is now out). No matter what version of a pi you have, this will mount it just fine. since i have those 3 pis, i wanted to put them all to good use.the trays have the ability to mount an SSD underneath the Pi. While a bit clunky to route a SATA to usb cable to the Pi (im not sure if clunky is the right word here, but it does get in the way a little depending on what you have going on in your rack)(and I do realize this is a design that was designed AROUND how the pi itself was designed, and to be honest I have NO IDEA how you could make something like this better without it looking like poor design when a pi is NOT used in a rack system), it does the job that it needs, to allow you to connect an SSD to the pi, and thats all that really matters, right?I have no complaints about the bracket. I mean, its a pretty simple design, and accommodates all pis, so how could i complain, lol.

This works nicely for my setup. However, if I were to order again, I'd opt for a 2U or alternate setup, as this one does not work with some of the hats I already had. I was able to get some that worked... but just fyi for others. I like the build quality quite a bit. Price is on par with the quality. I would give it 5 stars if it was a more versatile setup that accommodated hats that extend over the USB and ethernet ports. Also, if it is a taller hat that also extends the IO pins... you'll need 2U of space, even if it does go in, as it will potentially touch the pins to whatever is above it in the rack.

I got this to rack my Pi4 Kubernetes Cluster. It fits well and holds the 5 Pi's great.The only issue i had was with the screw holes on one of the sleds. When I screwed in my brass standoffs, they were tight fitting. Two of them ended up snapping off. I tried to run a screw in first to clean them off, but it didn't help. As I already had 4 of them already mounted and really didn't want to return the whole thing. I contacted the company and explained what happened. They promptly sent me a replacement sled that was perfect. Would buy from them again!
