'''USB mass storage device boot'''
==Overview==
==Features==
* Operating System: All Raspberry Pi operating systems* Supports up to 4TB 2.5-inch SATA hard disk drives (HDD) / solid-state drive (SSD) (Theoretically it can work with 6TB or 8TB as well. But actually we do not test the X820 board with 6tb or 8tb HDD, you can have a try.)* Ideal storage solution for Raspberry Pi 3B+/3B
* USB 3.1 Gen1 to SATA 6Gb/s Bridge Controller
* USB 2.0 connectivity offers plug-and-play functionality on your Raspberry Pi 3B+/3B
* Quick file transfer with high-speed USB 3.0 connectivity from a PC or a Mac
* Powers the Raspberry Pi - no additional power supply for RPi
* Duplicated Raspberry Pi HDMI port
* Using patch process to improve the quality of the X820 V3.0 Board;
* Add Powers On-board powers button switch on the board to for power control the power supply.
* Add upgraded external 5V 2A power output USB port for external device such as cellphone and other device, of course. User can power the raspberry pi via this USB port when GPIO pins are occupied by other expansion board.
* User can directly use the X820 V3.0 board as a mobile hard disk even if you don't power it (tested; with our USB3.0 cable or use a good quality and relatively short USB3.0 cable); PS: In the V1.3 version, you need to power the X820 at the same time as when you use the X820 V1.3 board as a mobile Hard disk;
* Two kinds of power supply modes are supported; One of mode is that power the raspberry pi via 2 pin cable by connecting to GPIO2 (5V) and GPIO3(GND) pins, the other one of mode is power the raspberry pi via USB port; PS: DON'T USE THE TWO KIND MODES AT THE SAME TIME;
