Overview
Geekworm NASPi2 is an ultra-compact dual 2.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD NAS storage kit with safe shutdown and auto power on function that specially designed for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B computer, it allows two pcs 2.5" HDD/SSD to working at the same time with your Raspberry Pi 4. Also support use with one single 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD.
The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port delivers a blistering data transfer rate of up to 5Gbps, letting you transfer a large amount of data in seconds.
NASPi2 is composed of three parts: X882 dual 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD shield, X882-C1 metal case and heat dissipation system(3Pin 4010 PWM fan with metal bracket). To get better heat dissipation of NASPi2, it also support install Max 7mm thickness heatsink above Pi4, as we use the M2.5*11+6mm spacers to fix the PWM fan with metal bracket. There is space for extra heatsink installation on Pi4.
Note:
- Power via DC jack or Type-C socket of X882, NOT power via Raspberry Pi 4!!!
- Support Max 7mm thickness heatsinks on Raspberry Pi 4 as we use 11mm height spacers for the fan with bracket installation on Pi4.
- Support Max 16mm thickness 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD installation.
- Insert the SD card into Raspberry Pi 4 first before NASPi2 installation start.
- 5G WiFi is stable enough, recommend using Ethernet or 5G WiFi.
- The Raspberry Pi, 2.5" SATA SSDs/HDDs, power adapter are all not included in the packing list.

Note about SSD/HDD
- Do not recommend using Samsung hard drives, please use hard drives of other brands.
- As with all SSDs, new SSD/HDD must be formatted before use.
- Older SSD drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives.
- A microSD card is required for forceing the Raspbian OS to use the HDD/SSD for its "root" partition
Power Supply
- Via Type-C port of X882, 5.1Vdc +/-5% , ≥4A(Geekworm Type-C 5V 4A 20W power supply is recommended.)
- Via DC5521 Jack of X882, 5.1Vdc +/-5% , ≥4A (DC5525 Jack is compatible with DC5521, also support 5V PSU with DC5525 Jack)
Note about PSU: Please use high quality power adapter, or the HDD/SSD may cannot be recognized. Since NASPi2 can install two pcs 2.5 inch hard drives, it needs a high-quality power supply to provide enough current.
