3. Is it possible to switch off the LED indicator on X850 board?

No, the LED on X850 board is not support to switch off, and you can use some tape to cover the led if light affected in the dark.

4. Why the Raspberry Pi WIFI signal affected when use X850 board?

If you have happened to meet WiFi signal problem, it maybe you use the SAMSUNG SSD Which will have EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) problem. We solved this problem on X850 V3.1 by placing the MSATA under the PCB board.

Overview

Features of the new version 3.1 V3.0

  • About EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) problem, We solved this problem on X850 V3.1 by placing the MSATA under the PCB board.
  • When using the X850 as a bootable hard disk, the problem of 'reboot' command is solved;
  • The X850 board can be mounted under the raspberry pi, retaining the use of GPIO;
  • Same size as the Raspberry Pi motherboard
  • Replaced the power supply mode (using the Micro usb power supply instead of the GPIO power supply, additional power may be required only when using a large capacity hard disk)
  • All use patch processing technology, product quality is more reliable;

What is the two-pin xh2.54 connector on my X850 v3.1 board for? I can already power a KingFast 128GB SSD using the micro-USB connector.

Hey, where could I buy the newest (and smallest) USB 3.0 - mSATA hat for my Pi4? I've found only the giant old one (with SATA) on your webshop. Thanks!

With regards to the USB bridge, please consider encasing it in plastic with a protrusion allowing a finger-tip grip for removal.

I use the X850 with a Rock64-board. Sadly the USB-bridge is only USB 2, so I must use the cable to get USB 3 speed.

The bridge is a neat solution. Any plans for a USB 3 version?

I'd suggest you replace two of the screws with nylon ones. The outer part of the screw came close to touching parts of the SSD I used and I was concerned about a possible electrical short. Fortunately I had some nylon screws that fit. replaced your screws with two nylon screws and am much more confident there will be no electrical short
