But we get several feedback that if the external USB device (like mouse, keyboard, display) connected, the system maybe unstable or not boot from the SSD. It suggest to use a USB3 type A to USB3 type A male-to-male cable to replace the USB connetor to test. If you use WIFI, please use the 5.8G wifi AP instead of 2.4G wifi, the 5.8G will be more stable. User Manual: wiki.geekworm.com/X857_V2.0 UPDATE Notification 1. The X857 has been updated to X857 V2.0 from X857 V1.2 version in Febuary 2021. Some changes We removed the DC JACK power socket of X857 V1.2, X857 V2.0 is powered via USB 3.0 connector. We use shorter copper spacer to connect Raspberry Pi 4 and X857 V2.0, which reduces the height of the entire product, so the matching metal case X857-C3 is shoter 3mm than X857-C1; But if you use a metal shell like X857-C3, then you can only use 5.8G wifi AP, 2.4G wifi will not be available(be shielded by metal case); As a Raspberry pi NAS device, we advised that you use ethernet network to replace wifi, this will be more stable and reliable. UASP supported ONLY, X857 V2.0 DO NOT support TRIM. 2. The case of X857 V1.2 and X857 V2.0 are different. X857 V1.2 should use X857-C1 Case, but X857 V2.0 use X857-C3 Case . Note: the Raspberry Pi 4, SSD and power adapter is not included in the packing list. Overview After continuously collecting customers' feedback, we have updated and released a new version of X857 V2.0 mSATA expansion board. It is upgraded from X855 (1st generation) and X856 (2nd generation) and X857 V1.2 (3rd generation).
