Overview

The X832 is a 3.5" SATA HDD expansion board focused on providing a bigger storage solution for your Raspberry Pi 4. The board is a great way to give a desktop look, as you can connect multiple external hard drivers without having them "hanging" from the USB ports of your SBC.

If you are looking for building a Media Center or even a Network-attached storage (NAS), the X832 is the right board for it. You will be able to separate one hard disk only for operating system and the rest for media, games...etc.

If you need dual 3.5" sata board, please refer to X835(A longer USB 3.0 A Male to A-Male Data cable is needed).

Lisa, hi My previous comment is named user 3# I have followed both your instruktions linked in your answer and I find no difference. My Raspberry, can't show any HDD through the X832. If I connect the same HDD through any HDD enclosure and plug it into the Raspberry , the HDD is recognized. I am pretty convinced that the X832 Is broken. Regards Peter BTW I can't login or create an account here, I have one at the Geekworm main site, but can't use it here.

That why this comment is anonymous
