* The X1007 is designed for data storage purposes and <span style="color:red;">does not currently support booting from HDD/SSD</span> with the existing firmware.
* Older SATA drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives
* New SATA HDDs/SSDs are not partitioned and will need to be both partitioned and formatted when first connected to the Raspberry Pi before they will be accessed in the Explorer.
