       Product Overview  
 
 

The X1017 PCIe3.0 to 8-Port SATA Expansion Board provides premium high-capacity and high-speed storage upgrades for Raspberry Pi 5. It supports multi-drive simultaneous access and features SATA 3.0 interfaces with a bandwidth of up to 5Gbps, ensuring fast and reliable data transfer.


It comes with dual 12V power input options: two regular DC jacks and a 4-pin ATX power connector. Built-in load switches fully power off SATA devices when the system shuts down, while high-efficiency step-down converters offer stable 5V 12A output. One single power supply can easily run your Raspberry Pi 5 and all connected SATA storage devices.

Whether you need a home media center, personal NAS or CCTV video storage, this expansion card is an ideal choice. It lets you securely store your multimedia files and stream content locally or remotely with outstanding performance.
