[NOTE]

USB3.1 Gen 1 port, SSD sequential write speed >300MB/s
mSATA SSD is not included
As with all SSDs, new media must be formatted before use
Performance depends on host system, workload, and SSD media used
SSDs use exceptionally high performance storage media that will run hot when under load
Older SSD drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives

Power supply request

Power supply: 5.1Vdc +/-5% , 4A

（Please use an external DC jack power supply to power X852 if the hard disk cannot be recognized.）

3 Kind of Power Supply Mode:

1.Use DC 5V 4A power adapter with DC jack to power the X852, use 2Pin cable to connect Raspberry Pi GPIO and X852 (recommend!!!)

2.Use DC 5V 4A power adapter with DC jack to power the X735 (you need to purchase X735 seperately), use 2pin cable to connect X735 and X852 (recommend)

3.Use common power adapter power Raspberry Pi via RPi micro USB, use 2Pin cable to connect Raspberry Pi GPIO and X852, this is not recommended. As the Raspberry Pi micro USB only support Max. 2.5A, so the X852 maybe not get enough current to recognize the SSD. Although this power supply mode is ok to power the kit, it is not be recommended strongly to use this mode.
