It is the best solution to convert/invert serial/RS232 signals to TTL.

I am using this serial expansion board to pass the Serial/RS232 signal from the ultrasonic sensor to the TX/RX pins of the Raspberry Pi, which requires TTL instead of RS232. Works like clockwork. I simply placed two jumpers (from the ultrasonic sensor) on pins 2 and 5 of the DB9 connector on this board (see attached image) and connected the supplied jumpers to the Pi. No other changes were required. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Empty

Flirc Pi 3 case mountable

I got an Ableconn PIUSB-M2S USB to M.2 SATA SSD converter and loaded the MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2 42mm SATA III/6G 2242 M.2 NGFF SSD that I installed I've been in a Sabrent BK-210S2 for a while and booted a Pi 3B+ into Raspbian 10. The lack of instructions, particularly wiring connections, made it a chore, but in the end the conversion turned out to be a good knock on wood. After spending a lot of time finding a mounting case, I was fortunate that the included stands connect the Pi to the Pi…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Unusable features

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…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • weak

Depends on your application / Raspberry Pi 4 Model B

I have this board along with my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B in an Anidees Aluminum Extra High Pi case. Good luck first, that's what the instructions should say. They are absolutely useless/useless. Second, if you plan on wiring this up via the GPIO pins, you're going to spend endless hours surfing the web trying to figure out how it works. I put a 1TB card in this thing. , and if I hook it up with a USB cable from the IP to the card, then it works fine with a formatted SSD. I was hoping to connect…

Pros
  • Good Value
Cons
  • Expensive

This board works great with my internal ADATA SU800 1TB M.2 2280 SATA 3D NAND SSD and after a week of heavy use I've had no problems. However, one of the photos is misleading as it appeared the included ADATA would fit in a tall case. It is not. From the photo it looks like the stackable board is the same size as the Raspberry Pi board. (That's why I only gave four stars because the manufacturer should have added something telling people it wouldn't fit in standard cases). Increased height body

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Available in black only

Works well with room for improvement

This is a great little device that helps overcome one of the Raspberry Pi's drawbacks. My application requires video surveillance events to be written to disk, which is not ideal for an SD card. After connecting a 512GB Samsung SSD, I connected the device to my Pi 3 and nothing happened. lsusb did not find any new devices. Since this thing is supposed to be plug and play, I did the only thing I could think of. I swapped the USB cable for another one and it worked. It's clear. Not all USB cables

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Modern

Works but documentation is missing

I needed to collect components of Revain images. The Ableconn website doesn't offer anything better than the hard-to-read paper "instructions" that come with it. The device did not work at first. I wrote to support and asked for advice. Haven't heard yet. The expected device /dev/sda is not shown, but something called /dev/sg0 is shown. After some google searches and various power cycles, /dev/sda emerged. Had to use "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" and then "sudo mkfs -t vfat -I /dev/sda1" before I did…

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • So far so good
