X1009
Contents
Important Notes
- NOT include 7-pin SATA data cables, please prepare it yourself
- The X1009 is designed for data storage purposes and does not currently support booting from HDD/SSD with the existing firmware.
- Don't power the X1009 via DC powe jack and the Raspberry Pi5 via USB-C at the same time. Just power the X1009, and then the X1009 will power the Pi 5 via the GPIO.
- Older SATA drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives
- New SATA HDDs/SSDs are not partitioned and will need to be both partitioned and formatted when first connected to the Raspberry Pi before they will be accessed in the Explorer.
Overview
The X1009 PCIe to 5-port SATA expansion board is designed to offer a high-capacity and high-speed storage solution for your Raspberry Pi 5. This board supports the simultaneous connection of 5pcs large-capacity SATA storage devices, with the SATA 3.0 interface reaching speeds of up to 5Gbps.
The X1009 features a 12V input via a standard DC jack and is equipped with high-efficiency DC/DC step-down converters to power both your Raspberry Pi 5 and PCIe devices concurrently, simplifying the power supply to a single source.
Ideal for creating a home media center or setting up a network-attached storage (NAS) system, the X1009 allows you to store and stream your videos, music, and digital photos within your home or even remotely around the world.

How to Power
- 12Vdc +/-5% ≥3A for one 3.5" HDD or one 2.5" HDD,
- 12Vdc +/-5% ≥5A for two 3.5" HDDs, ≥7A for three 3.5" HDDs, ≥9A for four 3.5" HDDs, ≥11A for five 3.5" HDDs
- 12Vdc +/-5% ≥4A for two 2.5" HDDs, ≥5A for three 2.5" HDDs, ≥6A for four 2.5" HDDs, ≥7A for five 2.5" HDDs
- Your SATA drives can also be powered from a separate PSU.
- You need to calculate the total current required for all the HDDs you are using. Check the HDD nameplate to get the HDD startup current (the startup current will be larger than the operating current), and then add them together to get the total current required. This is basically the maximum output current of the power adapter you need.
PS: According to our actual test, the Geekworm 12V/5A power supply can load 3-5 2.5" sata SSDs, and final power requirements depend on the requirements of the SSD/HDD you are using

FAQ
Q1:Display error message: ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
A:
If the above error message appears, please check if the lspci command is running. If the PCIe device can be found, then check if the HDD is powered by X1009.
If there is a problem with the data cable and the power supply of the HDD, a LINK DOWN error will appear.
