Review on πŸ” Geekworm Raspberry Pi 4 X862 V2.0 M.2 NGFF SATA SSD Storage Expansion Board with UASP Support - Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, Key-B 2280 SSD by Orlando Mohr

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Yes, it messes up 2.4GB Wi-Fi.

Also messing with keyboard keys etc. Anything 2.4GB will interfere with any poorly shielded USB device which is the worst I've seen. said it works great with the gumstick drive to make the pi4 usable for everyday use (if you also get an ice tower cooler and overclock the pi). Buy a USB2 hub and maybe a short extension cord for it and plug in any 2.4GB USB port a few feet away - it works fine here and my wifi hotspot is 5GB so I use that. Before retiring I did RF engineering and tried various methods of protection but to no avail - it seems to be pouring out of every pore in every direction. There's not much you can do about a top-right leak into the Pi's WiFi without crippling cooling and blowing it out.

Cons
  • Not bad but...
