Great Raspberry Pi Accessory

Based on my observations, this expansion board is a great addition to any Raspberry Pi project. It allows for easy connection to mSATA drives, expanding the storage capabilities of the Pi. The board is also stackable, saving space on the Pi's GPIO pins. The only downside is that it requires additional power, but this is to be expected with any USB-to-mSATA converter. Overall, a fantastic accessory for anyone looking to expand their Pi's storage options.

Pros
  • Allows Raspberry Pi to directly connect to an mSATA drive for increased storage capacity
Cons
  • Requires additional power supply to be connected to Raspberry Pi for optimal performance

Flirc Pi 3 Case Mountable

that I installed in a Sabrent BK-210S2 for a while and booted the Pi 3B+ into Raspbian 10. The lack of instructions, especially cable connections, made things difficult, but in the end the rework turned out to be a good knock on wood. After spending a lot of time finding a mounting case, I was lucky enough that the included stands connect the Pi to the Pi 3 Flirc case on one end, and the bottom of the Flirc squeezes the PIUSB-M2S together on the other. Good times.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Seamlessly connecting a serial terminal to the internet when paired with a Raspberry Pi - 5 stars :)

Pairing the device with a Raspberry Pi 3 and I have my old school serial terminal (Glass-TTY, for those who remember ) on the Internet. Note: Use a null modem connection in the configuration I described. And according to the insert instructions, the power supply is provided through the 3.3V GPIO pin.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Disappearing
