This needs to have a cable connecting the usb port on this card to a usb port on the pi. correct? so it's basically a usb to sata adapter. Correct?

Hi friend, Yes, you are right. It use the USB3 connector to connect the Pi 4 and X825 board. You can also refer to our NASPi kit. best regards, Geekworm Team

What connections are made with the "test pins" (aka: Pogo Pins)?

Hi friend, The test pins are contacted with the Raspberry Pi to power each other, so there is no need to connect extra power cables. Best regards, Geekworm Team

Can I supply power through one of the two pin 5 volt out connectors? You don’t mention that option. I need to power it from an internal 5 volt psu.

Hi friend, Yes, you can supply the power via one of the two pin 5 volt connectors. It must be 5Vdc. The voltage must be 5V and ensure the power supply quality, otherwise the motherboard and hard disk will be damaged. best regards, Geekworm Team

Can this be powerede by the official POE+ hat?

Hi friend, Yes, it is OK to power by the official POE+ hat, but you may need to consider whether the power is enough to power the kit, thanks! best regards, Geekworm Team

Replaces SD Card with SSD!

Got this as part of my project to set up a Pi 4 8GB as a web server and media server. Now I boot from a 500GB 2.5" SSD I had laying around. This module, in conjunction with the X725 Power module and matching Geekworm enclosure allowed me to set up a good-performing, compact, cool-running server. Easy to install and configure. (Warning: The USB connection to the SSD via the card causes interference with any Bluetooth or WiFi connections. WiFi was not an issue for me because I'm using an Ethernet connection. I was able to solve the Bluetooth connection issue by using the metal enclosure mentioned above, then connecting a 6-inch well-sheilded USB extension cable from a USB port to a Logitech Unifying Receiver. As long as the enclosure is completely closed, I am able to connect to a wireless keyboard/mouse. The metal enclosure MUST be completely closed or interference still occurs.)

Good product - works well

Little fiddly to install but once I got it it was fine - fat fingers and tiny screws. Fits perfectly into an old stripped out PC shuttle case with appropriate mounting holes drilled through the base and a jury rigged backplane to access the ethernet and USB ports, etc. Works well. Very happy with it

Arrived unusable

Did not have the USB Bridge in the box, so can't use, also needs a non-included wall-wart power supply. The screws and spacers are not metal as shown, they are nylon. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING THIS ITEM.
