Geekworm for Raspberry Pi 4 SATA Storage, X825 V2.0 2.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD Expansion Board UASP Supported Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 1GB/2GB/4GB/8GB Only(Not Include Raspberry Pi)

Easy to install, good instructions

Got this as part of my project to set up a Pi 4 8GB as a web server and media server. Now I boot from a 500GB 2.5" SSD I had laying around. This module, in conjunction with the X725 Power module and matching Geekworm enclosure allowed me to set up a good-performing, compact, cool-running server. Easy to install and configure. (Warning: The USB connection to the SSD via the card causes interference with any Bluetooth or WiFi connections. WiFi was not an issue for me because I'm using an Ethernet connection. I was able to solve the Bluetooth connection issue by using the metal enclosure mentioned above, then connecting a 6-inch well-sheilded USB extension cable from a USB port to a Logitech Unifying Receiver. As long as the enclosure is completely closed, I am able to connect to a wireless keyboard/mouse. The metal enclosure MUST be completely closed or interference still occurs.)

Little fiddly to install but once I got it it was fine - fat fingers and tiny screws. Fits perfectly into an old stripped out PC shuttle case with appropriate mounting holes drilled through the base and a jury rigged backplane to access the ethernet and USB ports, etc. Works well. Very happy with it

This was part of a raspberry pi I was building, that’s the case I needed to fit all this in was on indefinite back order so I had to return it.

Installed in 5 minutes. Simple instructions. Easily mounted Pi to board. Great performance with SSD. Using as Volumio server with built in storage.

Usb bridge was bad, it has bad solder joints and will not work. A to A cable works fine and confirms the bridge as bad. Otherwise okay, but not sure it’s worth the money and makes me doubt the reliability of the device. So far good though. A good bridge would be nice, but not worth the hassle of dealing with Amazon.

Excellent product if you know what you aredoing

Boss Pi! Added 512gb ssd and I still can’t run enough Docker and K3s on it!

Everything works.

Das Board habe ich mir für ein NAS auf Raspberry-Basis gekauft. Es ist passgenau mit dem Raspberry sowie auch mit dem separaten Geekworm-Gehäuse und funktioniert einwandfrei.Einzig den Preis finde ich doch recht hoch, aber das ist nunmal bei der Bestellung schon bekannt.

Consiglio a chiunque usi il suo pi per fare qualcosa che deve funzionare con una certa affidabilità e non solo per giocare, purtroppo la SD non e' "potrebbe" rompersi, ma quando sicuro si romperà.

Past perfect in de behuizing samen met de x735 fan.

Opération à suivre pour configurer le boot USB de votre Raspberry pi vers un SSDil faut simplement démarrer le Raspberry pi et le connecter au réseau local.
