Raspberry Pi hard drive

PeteB ...
That transformer outputs AC so an AC/DC conversion will also be required to power an RPi?

Well, it depends on your car. My equipment is no secret (see http://thehbproject.com/en/About) and it might be clear that I predominantly test RPi DAC's on my set 3 (€ 99 for each speaker). A bad power supply (switching mode PSU's in particular) cause harshness in any speaker. I am working on a test of several PSU's ranging from € 50 to € 250 which will be on line next month on my YouTube channel (youtube.com/c/TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel) and later also on the site.

Congrats bro ... a lot of space that you cud dream now

I like it also (it is much more compact than my solution with the Western Digital HD).

It looks like the adapter can mount above or under the Pi circuit board? I ask this because I have a header on my HIFiBerry
DAC+, and want some access to that, so there would be no easy way to put this pcb on top of all that. In other words, it looks like it is just using the mounting holes to attach the board, and no header pins?

edit:

I am having a hard time reading the test results in the code block. I understand the first part w. hdparm, but not the second part.

Looks like dd of 1MB x 1024, but stops after 22 iterations? And the results of the read are different for the two passes?
