Review on Ableconn PIUSBSDXC Raspberry Pi USB 2.0 to SD 3.0 (SDXC) Converter Stackable Board by Eddie Burgess

Revainrating 1 out of 5

SATA device not working on PI 3 B+

Ableconn PIUSB-M2S USB to M.2 SATA SSD: This device is the reason the Dumpster Fire was included in Webster's Dictionary. Directions don't make sense and have no frame of reference. For example, this is a jumper on the board used to set the power supply, except it doesn't indicate which pins do anything when jumpered. There are two mini-USB ports, but neither of them indicate which is for power when properly plugged in and which is for data. I've tried every possible configuration and managed to get a few blinking LEDs. used several cables if the one supplied was defective. Nothing zip but I could use any other storage I have attached. So on my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ the thing did nothing and lay there like a piece. There's no getting around that and I have no idea what's wrong. Then I realized Amazon has a great returns policy so went back.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • weak
