Overview

This is new updated X862 V2.0 version from X862 V1.0.

Some changes:

• We removed the DC JACK power socket of X862 V2.0, X862 V2.0 is powered via USB 3.0 connector.
• We use shorter copper spacer to connect Raspberry Pi 4 and X862 V2.0, which reduces the height of the entire product, so the matching metal case X857-C3 is shoter 3mm than X857-C1;
• The new X862 V2.0 improves the EMC interference issue between Raspberry Pi 4 and USB3.0 device ON X862 V2.0.
• 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.

About the EMC Interference Issue:

We are trying to solve the issue of EMC interference between Raspberry Pi 4 and USB3.0 device with X862 V2.0, X857 V2.0 and X873 V1.2. But we get several feedback that if the external USB device (like wireless mouse, wireless keyboard, display) connected, the system maybe unstable, wifi not available or not boot from the SSD. It suggest to use a USB3 type A to USB3 type A male-to-male cable to replace the USB connetor to test. Or use a usb 2.0 extension cable to move the wireless dongle away from the device.(advice from customer)

The X862 V2.0 M.2 NGFF SATA SSD Shield is designed for Raspberry Pi 4 model B, it provides a complete storage solution for Raspberry Pi 4. New X862 V2.0 ONLY support M.2 NGFF SSD Key-B 2280 length. The X860 V2.0 support UASP for Raspberry Pi 4.

Matching Metal Case

We use shorter copper spacer to connect Raspberry Pi 4 and X862 V2.0, 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 X862 V1.0 and X862 V2.0 are different. X862 V1.0 should use X857-C1 Case, but X862 V2.0 use X857-C3 Case.

Hi! I guess attaching it via USB to a Mac or PC allows me to clone my existing SD card to the SSD? Thanks!

The problem with WiFi 2.5 is it due to the metal case or by X862 v2 plate itself even if it is used without a metal case?

I have a V2 product, and neither the 2.4GHZ or the 5GHZ network can connect. The 'solution' about moving or not using a wireless keyboard is not a solution for most RPI4 installations.
