X1100 Shield + third party active cooler
X1100 V1.0 PCB

Overview

The X1100 shield is a 2.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD expansion board, offering an easy and fast way to create bigger storage solution for your Raspberry Pi 5. Its elegant and ultra-compact design allows 2.5" HDD/SSD to be conveniently attached to Raspberry Pi. 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. The mounting holes and standoffs help protect the hard disk drives, while effectively drawing the heat away from the drive for reliable performance. The built-in LED light indicates the reading or writing status – no more guesswork again.

The X1100 can be the perfect storage solution for your home media center and building Network-attached storage (NAS) for storing and streaming your own videos, music, and digital photos around the house and even across the world. the X1100 also supports operating system booting from your HDD/SSD for faster app opens, web serving and file copying.

Test & Reviews

Before we start read/write tests on the X1100, let's test it with a Micro SD card first! Scandisk-sdcard.jpg

1. Test Micro SD card

Test Conditions

Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0 , 4G RAM

Operation system: Raspberry Pi OS with desktop (Debian12 (bookworm), 32bit, Release date: October 10th 2023)

Storage details: SanDisk Ultra 32GB C10 A1 level TF card

X1100-test-sdcard.png

As seen above, the final results with the dd command are:

-Write speed: 13.9 MB/s

-Read speed: 91.1 MB/s


2. Test X1100 shield

Test Conditions

System board details: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0 , 4G RAM

Interface board details: X1100 V1.0 USB3.0 to SATA 6Gbs HDD/SSD shield

Operation system: Raspberry Pi OS with desktop (Debian12 (bookworm), 32bit, Release date: October 10th 2023)

Storage details: Samsung 2.5" SSD 750 EVO 120GB


Testing the SSD speed from command line with dd command

1) To test the write speed, writing 1 GB of data in 10 blocks of 100 MB.

2) To test the read speed, use dd to read our entire TestingFile file generated from the last command, in 10 blocks of 100 MB each.

X1100-DD.png

As seen above, the final results with the dd command are:

-Write speed: 392 MB/s

-Read speed: 403 MB/s


Testing disk drive read speed with hdparm

Average read rate: 371.7 MB/s (3 samples)

Testing disk drive Read/Write speed with CrystalDiskMark on Windows

(Conect the X1100 to a Windows PC using an USB3.0 male-to-male cable)

Packing List

  • 1 x X1100 V1.0 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD Shield
  • 1 x USB 3.0 Connector
  • 4 x M2.5x14mm F/F spacers
  • 8 x M2.5x5mm screws
  • 2 x M3x8mm screws

05-X1100-Packing-List.jpg

Technical Specification

Power supply: 5Vdc +/-5% 1.3A via USB3 port

Ports & Connectors: USB socket - USB 3.0 type A, SATA HDD connector - 7P+15P

PCB Size: 107.5mm x 85mm

Important Notes

  • Recommended Geekworm HT-PD27W or Raspberry Pi official 27W USB-C Power Supply, which provides up to 5A current at +5.1V to drive your hard drives
  • If you are using a power supply that cannot provide 5A at +5V or not compatible, setting usb_max_current_enable=1 in the /boot/firmware/config.txt file will override this and increases the USB current limit to 1.6A. otherwise, it might affect USB booting or cannot provide enough power to your hard drives and SSDs .
  • The X1100, a USB 3.0 devices might generate radio frequency interference that can cause Wi-Fi and other wireless devices operating in the 2.4GHz band to have issues communicating with your Raspberry Pi5. To avoid interference on the 2.4GHz band using Wi-Fi, try using the 5GHz band instead. If problem still exists, please turn off WiFi and use the wired network instead.

The X1100 looks really well designed. Especially a great combination with the X1100-C1 Metal Case.

It would be interesting to know whether the USB-SATA chip that is used supports the SSD function: TRIM (or UNMAP in SCSI terminology). According to the description, it is an unspecified “USB 3.1 Gen1 to SATA 6Gb/s bridge controller”, so it can at least be assumed that the controller supports the UAS (USB Attached SCSI) protocol.
