Note: The Raspberry Pi 5, M.2 NVME SSD is not included in the packing list.
Overview
The X1001 V1.1 shield is an NVME M2 SSD PIP (PCIe Peripheral Board) for the Raspberry Pi 5 that uses the new PCIE interface of the Raspberry Pi 5 to utilise the NVME M2 SSDs for fast data transfers and ultra-fast booting.
User Manual: https://geekwormf.shop/X1001
[Important Notes]
- Compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDs
-
Not compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, or other M.2 non-NVMe devices
- Older NVMe drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives
- New NVMe SSDs are not partitioned and will need to be both partitioned and formatted when first connected to the Raspberry Pi before they will be accessed in the Explorer.
Features
- Minimalist design, easy to install.
- FFC cable is only 30mm length.
- Compatible with other HAT shield;
- Supports installation of official Pi 5 active cooler;
- Dual LED Indicators:PCE: PCie - The LED will be on if the SSD is recognised; ACT - M.2 disk activity (“ACT”).
- Supports 2230/2242/2260/2280 NVME M2 ssd.
- Can Power the X1001 shield directly from the FPC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)
- Integrated with XH2.54 5V power connector, just use it if you are using a ultra large capacity SSD if the current is not enough.
- As of April 2024, we have added customized copper pillar t fix 2230/2242 SSDs
PS:
- Maximum current for PCIe wire is 1A, and voltage is 5V.
- If you find that the SSD is not working properly, it is possible that the power supply of SSD is not enough, then you need to check the current requirement of your SSD to decide whether power the SSD separately.
- The X1001 hardware has no limit on NVME SSD capacity, which is dependent on the Raspberry Pi OS.
