SupTronics X1009 5-Port SATA Add-on for Raspberry Pi 5

The SupTronics X1009 5-Port SATA Add-on for Raspberry Pi 5 connects up to five SATA drives via PCIe at 5Gbps. Powered through a 12V DC jack with onboard converters, it powers both the Pi and drives from one source.

---

The SupTronics X1009 5-Port SATA Add-on is designed to offer a high-capacity and high-speed storage solution for your Raspberry Pi 5. This board supports the simultaneous connection of 5 large-capacity SATA storage devices, with the SATA 3.0 interface reaching speeds of up to 5Gbps via PCIe.

The X1009 features a 12V input via a standard DC jack (power supply not included) and is equipped with high-efficiency DC/DC step-down converters to power both your Raspberry Pi 5 and PCIe devices concurrently, simplifying the power supply to a single source. Do not power your Pi 5 via USB-C at the same time as the barrel jack!

Ideal for creating a home media centre or setting up a network-attached storage (NAS) system.

Please read the specifications - you're going to need a beefy 12V PSU to power five drives at once (up to 11A!).

HDDs, Raspberry Pi, Active Cooler and power supply not included.

Features

• Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5B
• Supports the connection of five SATA 3.0 devices to your Raspberry Pi 5 simultaneously
• Compliant with the Serial ATA 3.0 specification, with backward compatibility to SATA 2.0 and SATA 1.0
• Adheres to the PCI-Express v2.0 specification and is backward compatible with PCI-Express v1.0
• Supports communication speeds of 5.0 Gbit/s, 3.0 Gbit/s, and 1.5 Gbit/s
• Compatible with SATA 6G, 3G, and 1.5G hard drives
• Blue LED indicators display power and drive status
• High-efficiency DC/DC step-down converter to power both your Raspberry Pi 5 and SATA devices simultaneously
• Efficient power delivery to the Raspberry Pi 5 via a pin header, consolidating power sources
• Compatible with the Raspberry Pi Active Cooler
• Supports the HAT+ STANDBY power state, automatically turning off SATA devices when the Pi 5 is powered down
• Includes a power SATA splitter cable for connecting up to 5 Serial ATA devices

The X1009 is designed for data storage purposes and does not currently support booting from HDD/SSD with the existing firmware.

Do not power the X1009 via the DC power jack and the Raspberry Pi 5 via USB-C at the same time.
