SupTronics X1006 2.5" SATA + M.2 SATA Expansion for Raspberry Pi 5

The SupTronics X1006 2-Port 2.5"+ M.2 SATA Expansion for Raspberry Pi 5 supports one 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD and one M.2 2280 SATA SSD at up to 5Gbps via PCIe. Fits under the Pi 5, preserves GPIO access, and powers from pogo pins.

Introducing the SupTronics X1006 2-port (2.5" SATA + M.2 SATA) Expansion, designed to provide a mass-capacity data storage and high-speed storage solution via PCIe, for your Raspberry Pi 5. Note: does not currently support booting from SSD with the existing firmware. This board facilitates the simultaneous connection of a 2.5" SATA SSD (or HDD) and an M.2 2280 SATA SSD (NOT NVMe), unleashing the full potential of your storage capabilities, with SATA 3.0 interface speeds reaching up to 5Gbps - allowing you to use those SATA drives you have lying around! The X1006 connects to the underside of the Raspberry Pi 5, eliminating the need for a passthrough for the GPIO. This means you can use your favourite HATs while also utilising this expansion board. The X1006 and your SSDs/HDDs are powered from Raspberry Pi 5 via chunky pogo pins, using your single USB-C power supply for everything. The X1006 serves as the perfect storage solution for establishing a home media centre or constructing a network-attached storage (NAS) system with a Raspberry Pi 5.
