The QNAP fails. The dreadful event. The disks are fine, but they are useless in any other enclosure, other than other QNAP. Even if you connect them to a PC, you won’t be able to mount them.

If you wire 3.5mm jack using the GPIO pinout on Nano Pi, you might not get any sound. Apparently, analog audio output is disabled in DietPi. To enable it, edit the following line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt: overlays=analog-codec usbhost1 usbhost2 Armbian doesn’t have this issue. This method works, because DietPi is based on Armbian....
