Geekworm X1009 PCIe to 5-Port SATA Shield for Raspberry Pi 5 (NOT Support Boot from HDD/SSD)

Notes

• The X1009 is designed for data storage purposes and does not support booting from HDD/SSD with the existing firmware currently.
• Don't power the X1009 via DC powe jack and the Raspberry Pi5 via USB-C at the same time.  Just power the X1009, and then the X1009 will power the Pi 5 via the GPIO.
• 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.
• The Raspberry Pi 5 board, SSD/HDD, active cooler, SATA cable or power adapter is not included in the packing list.

Overview
The X1009 PCIe to 5-port SATA expansion board is designed to offer a high-capacity and high-speed storage solution for your Raspberry Pi 5. This board supports the simultaneous connection of 5pcs large-capacity SATA storage devices, with the SATA 3.0 interface reaching speeds of up to 5Gbps.

The X1009 features a 12V input via a standard DC jack and is equipped with high-efficiency DC/DC step-down converters to power both your Raspberry Pi 5 and PCIe devices concurrently, simplifying the power supply to a single source.

Ideal for creating a home media center or setting up a network-attached storage (NAS) system, the X1009 allows you to store and stream your videos, music, and digital photos within your home or even remotely around the world.
