X870
Contents
Overview
This is the X870 NVMe M.2 SSD Storage Expansion Board, it provides a complete storage solution for raspberry pi or ROCK64. It supports multiple M.2 NVMe SSD lengths including: 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230.
Important Note:
This X870 NVME M.2 shield is designed for Raspberry Pi 3B+/3B and released before Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. As the USB port of the pi4 is changed, the equipped USB connector cannot be used on the pi4, and you can only use the USB cable.
Features
- Ideal storage solution for Raspberry Pi - M.2 NVMe SSD Shield
- Supports up to 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD solid-state drives
- Supports multiple M.2 NVMe SSD lengths including: 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230
- Supports operating system installation and booting from your SSD
- Supports fastest OS image writing (>1Gb/S*) from a PC or a Mac
- Integrated USB 3.1 Gen2 to PCIe Gen3x2 10Gb/s bridge controller
- USB2.0 connectivity offers plug-and-play functionality on your Raspberry Pi
- Quick file transfer with high-speed USB3.1 Gen1 5Gb/s or Gen2 10Gb/s connectivity from a PC or a Mac
- LED blue indicator indicates drive status
- On-board micro-USB socket and XH2.5 connector allows external power supply to power high capacity SSD (Max 11.5Watts)
- USB bus-powered
- Specially-made short USB Type-C to USB-A 3.0 cable to connect with Raspberry Pi
- Fully compatible with X720, X730 and X735 for intelligent and safe power management
- PCB Size: 87mm x 56mm
[NOTE]
- *Test condition: USB3.1 Gen 2 port, SSD sequential write speed >1000MB/s
- NVMe SATA SSD is not included
- Compatible with NVMe M.2 SSDs
- Not compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, or other M.2 non-NVMe devices
- As with all SSDs, new media must be formatted before use
- Performance depends on host system, workload, and SSD media used
- SSDs use exceptionally high performance storage media that will run hot when under load
- Older SSD drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives
Power supply request
5Vdc +/-5% , Powered by Raspberry Pi
Additional power supply for SSD (Only when you find that the power supply of the SSD is insufficient)
5Vdc via on-board micro-USB or XH2.5 2Pin connector
Note: When use X860 board with X735 Safe Shutdown Power Management & Auto Cooling Expansion Board togehter, the power adapter must be connected to X735 power managment board only, not X860 or Raspberry Pi.
