Raspberry Pi users that are in search of a high-capacity low-power consuming storage device for their Raspberry Pi B+, A+, and B+ v2 mini PC may be interested in the new PiDrive that has been created by Bud Griffin.

The PiDrive expansion card has been created to eliminate the need for external hard drives and additional cables, transforming the Raspberry Pi system into a truly portable large capacity storage option.



Watch the video below to learn more About the inspiration and design of the PiDrive from its creator Griffin.

The PiDrive expansion card has a low-power requirement allowing it to be plugged directly into one of the Raspberry Pi’s USB ports, with no external powered USB hubs necessary. Because the PiDrive expansion card has low power requirements, other peripherals such as an external keyboard, wireless adapter, etc., are able to be used via the Pi’s other available USB ports at the same time, a vast improvement over unattractive external powered-USB hubs and cables sprawling all over the user’s workspace!
