Expected Result

Take Raspberry Pi 4B as example

  • Insert the module to 40PIN GPIOof Raspberry Pi 4B. Connect the USB interface of USB HUB to Raspberry Pu by the USB 3.0 Adapter.
  • Connect 5V power supply to the POWER ONLY port.
  • Connect USB devices to USB ports *USB1~UBS4), the corresponding LED will turn on for indicating.

Working with Raspberry Pi

1. Hardware preparation

  • Raspberry Pi 4B x1
  • USB 3.2 Gen1 HUB HAT x1
  • USB 3.0 Adapter x1 (You also use USB3,0 cable)
  • USB 3.0 SSD x1

=2.Configure Rasberry Pi

  • Enter the root directory of Pi
cd ../..
  • Enter the directory of USB3.0 SSD
cd media/pi/xxx (xxx is the name of the disk)
  • Free memory
sudo sh -c "sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
  • Copy 2G data to the SSD disk.
dd if=/dev/zero of=./test_write count=2000 bs=1024k


  • Copy 2G data to the Raspberry Pi
dd if=./test_write of=/dev/null count=2000 bs=1024k 


3.Working with Ubuntu (Raspberry Pi)

  • Search disk in menu->Enter->Open the disk


  • Choose the correct disk and click the Benchmark Partition option in the Menu


  • Click Start Benchmark,Check Perform write-benchmark. and keep other default settings.


  • Input the user password and authorize.


  • Test


Working in Windows PC
