* ~~Automatic Drive Power Cut-off: Supported with~~ DC ~~jack~~ power ~~input only~~. ~~Not available when using ATX 4~~-~~pin connector~~.

*Never connect a DC power adapter AND an ATX power supply to the board simultaneously. This will permanently destroy the board and connected devices.

* Do not apply power to your Raspberry Pi via the Type-C USB socket.

* Warning: Over-voltage will damage your HDD. Please use a stable 12V power supply within the specified range.

* The X1017 is designed for data storage purposes and does not currently support booting from HDD/SSD with the existing firmware.

* ~~Do not apply~~ power ~~to your Raspberry~~ Pi ~~via the Type~~-~~C USB socket~~.

* Automatic Drive Power Cut-off: Supported with DC jack power input only. Not available when using ATX 4-pin connector.

* All SATA ports share the Pi 5's PCIe Gen3 x1 total bandwidth. No impact on HDDs; only affects multi-SSD full-load scenarios.

* '''Confusing power supply for multiple hard drives''':

Equipped with dual 12V power input options (two standard DC power jacks and one 4-pin ATX power connector), eliminating the need for separate power supplies for the Raspberry Pi.

One single power supply ~~can easily run your~~ Raspberry Pi 5 and all connected SATA ~~storage devices~~. ~~A built~~-~~in load switch completely cuts off~~ power ~~to SATA devices when the system is shut down, while a high-efficiency buck converter provides a stable 5V 12A output~~.

One single power supply powers both the Raspberry Pi 5 and all connected SATA drives — no separate Pi power supply needed. High-power setups (e.g. 8×3.5" HDDs) require dual DC adapters; see technical specs for details.

Supports simultaneous access to multiple hard drives and features 8 SATA 3.0 interface with bandwidth up to 5Gbps, ensuring fast and stable data transfer. Suitable for building home media centers, personal NAS, closed-circuit television video storage, and personal data backup servers.

* '''8 x SATA 3.0 Ports''' ： Connect up to eight SATA devices simultaneously to your Raspberry Pi 5

* '''High-Capacity Storage''' ： Supports up to 176TB total capacity (22TB per drive).

* Wide Drive Compatibility ： Works with SATA 6G, 3G, and 1.5G hard drives

* Wide Drive Compatibility ： Works with all SATA 6G, 3G, and 1.5G hard drives and SSDs

* Multi-Speed Support ： Supports communication speeds of 5.0, 3.0, and 1.5 Gbit/s

* ~~Easy to use ： Simple setup with LED indicators~~ for ~~drive status~~

* Drive Status Indicators: Individual LEDs for each port (solid = connected, blinking = active)

* Flexible Power Input ： Accepts 12V power via DC jack or ATX 4-pin connector

* '''Unified Power Delivery''' ： High-efficiency DC/DC converter delivers up to 12A to power both Pi 5 and SATA drives from a single source

* Splitter Cable Included ： Comes with a power SATA splitter cable to support up to 8 drives

* '''HAT-Friendly Design''' ： Mounts on the bottom of the Pi 5, allowing ~~you to~~ use ~~your favorite~~ HATs ~~alongside it~~

* '''HAT-Friendly Design''' ： Mounts on the bottom of the Pi 5, allowing use of standard HATs with no protruding components on the bottom

* External Power Button Header ： Easy DIY case integration

* '''12V PWM Fan Header'''： For custom case cooling solutions '''(⚠️ Only for 12V PWM fans; 5V fans will be damaged)'''

* Tested and supported operating systems: Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit), OpenMediaVault (OMV)
