This I/O Shield converts The Raspberry PI 2 Into A Solid State Drive And WiFi Access Point
Thursday, April 28, 2016The CSB502SSD Shield plugs into the Raspberry PI 2 GPIO connector and converts the Raspberry PI 2 USB Host Port into a 1TB mSATA SSD Drive and Wireless Access Point thanks to Soft-AP support (the shield literary transforms the Raspberry PI 2's 802.11b/g/n WiFi module into a WiFi access point for your WiFi devices to connect to the Internet).
The shield also increases the 1.2A USB stock power of the Raspberry Pi 2 to 1.5A at 5V (dual USB 2.0 mounted on the board). The power to the Raspberry Pi 2 is fed through the shield so there is no need for an additional power source attached to the Pi 2 (the power supply is wide input 5V @ 10A, which powers all peripherals as well as the Raspberry PI 2).
The CSB502SSD shield interacts with the Raspberry PI via a 40-Pin GPIO connector as well
as one USB host port; hence the shield will work with any Raspberry PI that has the 40-pin GPIO connector such as the Raspberry Pi B+ and Raspberry Pi A+.
