Ideal for tech enthusiasts looking to enhance their Raspberry Pi experience.

## Description

After continuously collecting customers' feedback, we have updated and released a new version of X857 mSATA expansion board. It is upgraded from X855 (1st generation) and X856 (2nd generation). This X857 mSATA SSD Shield expansion board provides a complete storage solution for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, only mSATA interface SDD hard disk is suitable for X857 mSATA SSD extension board; Support up to 1TB mSATA solid-state drive (SSD); Now it is time to build a mobile hard disk with a mSATA SSD for your Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.

Review: I followed the instructions to mount this board to a RPi 4B, had zero issues getting the m2 mSATA drive mounted as well. Getting the server up and running took a lot longer thanks to my lack of familiarity with Linux, bcache, and netatalk. Now this RPi operates as a Time Machine server for multiple users with the mSATA drive acting as a fast SSD cache and a larger, bus-powered spinning 2.5" hard drive storing the bulk of the data. To power the spinning drive, I used a Y-type dual USB power harness which connects the drive to the RPi but gets its power from the same Anker PS as the RPi is powered with. That lowers the load running through the RPi.
Review: Quick, bootable on RPi 4 with USB updates and upgrades to firmware

## Features

- √[Important] It is strongly recommend to use 5.8G wifi AP instead of 2.4G wifi AP, according to the feedback if use the external USB device (like mouse, keyboard, display) or use X857-C3 metal case(ASIN:B08VJ6P48B ), the system maybe unstable or not boot from the SSD.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on 2 August 2021*

I bought the X857 thinking I could build a compact computer with the Pi and have more/faster storage. The first unit I received on July 31st was defective. I worked with Geekworm to resolve the issue and was able to return the unit through Amazon. Several days later, on August 3rd, the replacement arrived. The second unit worked. I have now tested it with a Leven 256GB mSATA SSD, a Dogfish 256GB mSATA SSD, an INDMEM 256GB mSATA SSD, a Samsung PM871 256GB mSATA SSD, and a SanDisk X300 256GB mSATA SSD. All of them worked great. Much faster random read and write speeds over a micro SD card. I have been running the Leven SSD for the past 2 months with no issues. I would have given 5 stars except for the first unit being defective. Like I said Geekworm did work with me, the return through Amazon was easy, and the replacement came a few days later. I can now recommend this product if you are looking to make a small, compact Raspberry Pi 4 project. I did not want a long cable and large drive enclosure (relative to the size of the Raspberry Pi). I am thinking of purchasing another for a Raspberry Pi robotics project.
