Working with Raspberry Pi
1. Hardware preparation
- Raspberry Pi 4B x 1
- USB 3.2 Gen1 HUB Gigabit ETH HAT x 1
- USB 3.0 Adapter x 1 (You also use USB3.0 cable)
- USB 3.0 SSD x 1
2.Configure Rasberry Pi
- Enter the root directory of Pi
cd ../..
- Enter the directory of USB3.0 SSD
cd media/pi/xxx (xxx is the name of the disk)
- Free memory
sudo sh -c "sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
- Copy 2G data to the SSD disk.
dd if=/dev/zero of=./test_write count=2000 bs=1024k
- Copy 2G data to the Raspberry Pi
dd if=./test_write of=/dev/null count=2000 bs=1024k
3.Working with Ubuntu (Raspberry Pi)
- Search disk in menu->Enter->Open the disk
- Choose the correct disk and click the Benchmark Partition option in the Menu
- Click Start Benchmark，Check Perform write-benchmark. and keep other default settings.
- Input the user password and authorize.
- Test
Working in Windows PC
1.Connect the USB port ot USB3.0 of PC, and you can copy file to SSD
- Copy file to the PC
- Copy file to the portable SSD
2.Connect the USB to USB3.0 Port and connect four phones at the same time
3. Connect the HUB to USB3.0 Port, connect network (The cable and router should suport Gigabit network)

FAQ
Answer:
- Re-plug the USB cable, and make sure that the connection is normal.
- Maybe the USb3.0 adapter is broken, please change to another adapter or USB 3.0 cable for a try.
Answer:
After connecting the HUB with the Raspberry Pi by the USB adapter, the Raspberry Pi can power the HUB. If you connect it to a mobile SSD or other high-power devices, you must provide DC 5V to the Type-C interface of HUB.
