Overview
This is new updated version from X872.
Some changes:
- We removed the DC JACK power socket of X873, X873 is powered via USB 3.0 connector.
- We use shorter copper spacer to connect Raspberry Pi 4 and X873 V1.2, which reduces the height of the entire product, so the matching metal case X857-C3 is shoter 3mm than X857-C1;
- X872 supports TRIM but not UASP, X873 version supports UASP but not TRIM.
- After our test, X873 can connect to 2.4G wifi in seconds without the metal case. However, if X873 work with a metal case or external USB 3.0 devices such as a mouse or keyboard, you may still need to use Ethernet or 5G AP.
- But if you use a metal shell like X857-C3, then you can only use 5.8G wifi AP, 2.4G wifi will not be available(be shielded by metal case);
- As a Raspberry pi NAS device, we advised that you use ethernet network to replace wifi, this will be more stable and reliable.

How to select your power adapter
If you have a good quality usb type c power adapter, you can also use a TYPE C power adapter to supply power through X735 type c, otherwise we suggest you choose our power adapter with DC 5525 JACK
Packing List
Matching Metal Case
We use shorter copper spacer to connect Raspberry Pi 4 and X873 V1.2, which reduces the height of the entire product, so the matching metal case X857-C3 is shoter 3mm than X857-C1;
Please refer to X857-C3.
Note: The case of X872 and X873 V1.2 are different. X872 should use X857-C1 Case, but X873 V1.2 use X857-C3 Case.

If you find that you have encountered an IO error like the following picture, please contact us(info@geekworm.com) to update the firmware.
FAQ
Q1. Does the X873 support Optane Memory?
A: Sorry, NO, this is not tested.
Q2.What to do if the X873 does not boot normally?
A:Please use Raspberry Pi imager (or Win32DiskImager) to burn the system to the SSD,If copying from SD card to SSD, it should not work. If you need to boot from the SSD, you need to use Win32DiskImager to burn the system to the SSD. Use the SD CARD COPIER that comes with RASPBIEERY PI OS. It may not work.
