==Overview==
The X873 is a USB 3.0 to NVMe SSD expansion board specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi 4, providing a simple and speedy means to expand storage capacity for your Raspberry Pi 4. This compact and sleek shield facilitates effortless connection of various M.2 SSD sizes ('''including 2280, 2260, 2242, and 2230''') to your Raspberry Pi 4. The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port enables rapid data transfer speeds of '''up to 5Gbps''', allowing you to move large amounts of data within seconds. Additionally, the built-in LED light indicates the reading or writing status, eliminating the need for guesswork


The X873 also includes a power button for easy power control, which is a great feature missing in the Raspberry Pi 4. A single press turns it on, while holding it for 3 seconds initiates a safe shutdown, and holding it for 7 seconds forces a power-off.


Whether you aim to establish a home media center or create a Network-attached storage (NAS) system for storing and streaming your videos, music, and photos, the X872 can function as an ideal storage solution. Moreover, it supports '''booting the operating system from your SSD''', leading to quicker application launches, web serving, and file copying.
