SupTronics X1008 3.5" + 2.5" SATA Expansion for Raspberry Pi 5

The SupTronics X1008 3.5″ + 2.5″ SATA HDD Expansion for Raspberry Pi 5 supports one 3.5″ SATA HDD and one 2.5″ SATA HDD/SSD at up to 5Gbps via PCIe. Powered via 12V DC jack with onboard step-down converters, it simplifies NAS and media storage setups.

Introducing the SupTronics X1008 3.5″ + 2.5″ SATA HDD Expansion, designed to provide a mass-capacity storage and high-speed storage solution via PCIe, for your Raspberry Pi 5. This board facilitates the simultaneous connection of a 3.5″ HDD and a 2.5″ HDD/SSD, with SATA 3.0 interface speeds reaching up to 5Gbps.

With support for 12V 3A input via a standard DC jack (power supply not included) and equipped with high-efficiency DC/DC step-down converters, the X1008 efficiently powers both your Raspberry Pi 5 and HDDs from a single power source, simplifying your setup. Do not power your Pi 5 via USB-C at the same time as the barrel jack!

The X1008 serves as the perfect storage solution for establishing a home media centre or constructing a network-attached storage (NAS) system.

SSD/HDD, Raspberry Pi, Active Cooler and power supply not included.
