The X1100 shield is a 2.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD expansion board, offering an easy and fast way to create bigger storage solution for your Raspberry Pi 5. Its elegant and ultra-compact design allows 2.5" HDD/SSD to be conveniently attached to Raspberry Pi. The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port delivers a blistering data transfer rate of up to 5Gbps, letting you transfer a large amount of data in seconds. The mounting holes and standoffs help protect the hard disk drives, while effectively drawing the heat away from the drive for reliable performance. The built-in LED light indicates the reading or writing status – no more guesswork again.

If you are using a power supply that cannot provide 5A at +5V or not compatible, setting '''usb_max_current_enable=1''' in the '''/boot/firmware-Write speed: 13.9 MB/configs -Read speed: 91.txt''' file will override this and increases the USB current limit to 1.6A. otherwise, it might affect USB booting or cannot provide enough power to your hard drives and SSDs .MB/s
