==Overview==
X1006 '''PCIe to 2 ports SATA HDD/SSD expansion board''' is designed to provide a mass-capacity storage and high-speed storage solution for your Raspberry Pi 5. This board facilitates the simultaneous connection of '''a SATA 2.5-inch HDD''' and '''a <span style="color:red;">SATA M.2 KEY-B</span> 2280 SSD''', unleashing the full potential of your storage capabilities, with SATA 3.0 interface speeds reaching up to 5Gbps.
The X1006 connects to the underside of the Raspberry Pi 5, eliminating the need for a passthrough for the GPIO. This means you can use your favorite HATs while also utilizing this expansion board. Additionally, the X1006 and your HDDs can be powered from Raspberry Pi5 via pogo pins, streamlining the power supply to a single source.
* Compatible with the official active cooler without compromising cooling performance
* Supports the HAT+ STANDBY power state, automatically turning off SATA devices when the Pi 5 is powered down
* System board details:Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0 , 4G RAM* Interface board details:X1006 v1.1 PCIe to dual 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD Shield* Operation system:Raspberry Pi OS with desktop (Debian12 (bookworm), 64bit, Release date: December 5th 2023)* Storage details:Samsung EVO 750 SSD, Lite-on L8T-64L6G-HP 64GB SSD
