💾 Geekworm T300 V1.1 2.5 inch SATA SSD/HDD Shield: Expand Storage for Jetson Nano A02/B01/2GB/4GB Developer Kit Review

It works, no additional cable was needed, everything was supplied with it just by connecting it to the board. I also got a case from them that fits this shield, the problem is how it aligns inside the case. This will interfere with your USB wireless connections, so I had to make an extension. otherwise it works great.

Update 3/4: After receiving the replacement, I was able to verify that the LED is lit and the circuit board is working. Please note that the LED does not indicate power, but an active USB connection. However, as my Nano was also dead on arrival, I am awaiting a replacement for this unit to continue testing. I'll update again once I can pair it with a working nano. Original Review: My board was dead on arrival. It was sent back via Revain. I will update if the replacement works.

I hate the splinter required to use it. The female head is a different size than the two male heads, so you'll need a different power source than if you were using the Nano before. I ordered a splitter where all three heads are the same size. Might update the review when it comes out and I can use it as I was hoping.

I'm having trouble getting it to work as expected. It also didn't fit any of my models 100% (the old nano models don't seem to fit). The newer Nano reduces performance regardless of the power supply used (tried several). Wouldn't recommend it.

This review focuses on the Geekworm T300 SSD Expansion Board for the Jetson Nano. I used this with a SATA to mSATA adapter (similar to: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007PPZ2I8) and a 250GB mSATA SSD which worked cool and fast enough (240MB /sIIRC). I think any SSD should work just fine. My main goal was to use it for the paging file instead of using a slow microsd card. It's also nice to have a workspace separate from the operating system on a microsd as the main directory. It comes with hardware,
