Revainrating 2 out of 5

Worked great for 3 days then stopped working

Perfect for Raspberry Pi 4 with hardware included. I installed it in a 3D printed case along with a Pi 4 and a Geekworm ice tower. I was setting up OpenMediaVault and Home Assistant in a container when I noticed that interacting with the Pi was getting slower and loading times were getting longer. Suddenly the disc fell out and could not be found. I connected the USB cable from the adapter to my PC, but it wasn't found there either. I switched to another mSATA drive but got nothing. I connected the first and second mSATA to a different enclosure and both worked fine. So the defect was in the Geekworm X857 board. With moderate use it only lasted 3 days. I ordered a replacement and hope it works. In that case I will change my rating.
