Raspberry Pi X862 M.2 NGFF SATA SSD User Guide

Overview

This is the X862 M.2 NGFF SATA SSD Shield for Raspberry Pi 4 model B, it provides a complete storage solution for raspberry pi 4. It supports multiple M.2 NGFF SSD lengths including: 2280, 2260, 2242, 2230.

Important NOTE:

This X862 is not fit to ROCK64 and Raspberry Pi 3B+ /3B because the difference of USB 3 position. Please refer to X860 if you want use M.2 NGFF SATA SSD on the Raspberry Pi 3B+/3B or ROCK64 board.

SPECIFICATION	Power supply: 5Vdc +/-5% , Powered via USB port by Raspberry Pi 5Vdc via DC power jack or XH2.5 connector, Extra power supply for SSD Ports & Connectors: USB socket - USB 3.0 type A x1 Power input jack 5.5*2.5mm x1 XH2.54 SSD power input connector x1 67Pin M.2 connector P=0.5mm, H3.2mm, Key B x1 PCB Size 87mm x 56mm
NOTES	↑ Additional spacer required for SSD lengths 2260, 2242 and 2230 (not supplied with X862) ↑ A microSD card is required for forcing the Raspbian OS to use the HDD/SSD for its "root" partition NGFF SATA SSD is not included Compatible with M.2 NGFF SATA SSDs only, not compatible with NVMe M.2 SSDs As with all SSDs, new media must be formatted before use SSDs use exceptionally high performance storage media that will run hot when under load Older SSD drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives USB 3.0 devices might generate radio frequency interference that can cause Wi-Fi and other wireless devices operating in the 2.4GHz band to have issues communicating with your Raspberry Pi4. To avoid interference on the 2.4GHz band using Wi-Fi, try using the 5GHz band instead. If problem still exists, please turn off WiFi and use the wired network instead.

How to Power

Q1: What to do if you find the SSD is not recognize?

A: 1. Please confirm that you use the SSD with right interface which match with the socket of your expansion shield. (Not recommend to use SAMSUNG SSD, as there will be big EMC interference.)

2. If use WiFi, please try to close WIFI to test.

3. Please use right interface M.2 SATA SSD (KEY-B) to X862.

4. Please try provide extra power to X862.

5. Please test and make sure your Raspberry Pi4 USB3 port is good one. (We get the feedback that Pi 4 USB3 port is easy to broken)

Q2: What to do if you find the 2.4G Wi-Fi is not stable when use Raspberry Pi 4 with expansion board(like X825/X857/X862/X872) connected by USB3 connector?

A: 1.Please try to use WIFI 5G AP if you find the 2.4G signal is unstable, because we found that USB 3.0 high-speed transmission will interfere with the Raspberry Pi's 2.4G wifi signal. We think this is caused by the unreliability of the Raspberry Pi's wifi design. If the Raspberry Pi Foundation reserves the SMA IPEX antenna interface, everything will become easier.

Q3. Does it support booting from SSD?

A: Yes. A microSD card is required for forcing the Raspbian OS to use the HDD/SSD for its "root" partition.

Q4: How to Initialize, Partition and Format a Brand New SSD in Windows

A: Please refer to Tutorial Initalize New SSD
