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

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 it to the GPIO pins to get around the annoying issue of the cover not being able to attach due to poor placement of the micro USB connector. So what's my choice, keep fighting with the GPIO pins (I've been trying this way for 6 months already) or cut my case to gain access to connect the USB cable. This product is a great idea but it doesn't work for me.

Pros
  • Good Value
Cons
  • Expensive
