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://wiki.geekworm.com/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:

      1. Maximum current for PCIe wire is 1A, and voltage is 5V.
      2. 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.
      3. The X1001 hardware has no limit on NVME SSD capacity, which is dependent on the Raspberry Pi OS.

      Packing List

      • 1 x X1001 V1.1 NVMe SSD Shield
      • 1 x PCIe FFC cable(30mm length)
      • 3 x M2.5x17mm F/F Spacers
      • 6 x M2.5x5mm Screws
      • 1 x M2x4mm Screws (to fix MVME M2 SSD)

      After the release of the Raspberry Pi AI Kit, we tested four PIPs: X1001, X1004, X1011, and M901. X1001, X1004, X1005 and M901 etc. all support the hailo-8 ai ​​accelerator, but X1011 does not.

      It should be noted that X1004 and X1005 uses ASMedia ASM1182e PCIe switch, it can't support PCIe Gen 3 speed, so even though we forced to enable PCIe Gen 3.0 setting in Raspberry Pi 5, it is limited by ASMedia ASM1182e PCIe switch, and speed is still PCIe Gen 2.0 5Gbps speed. when you use an hailo-8 ai accelerator, Raspberry Pi Fundation highly recommends using PCIe 3.0 to achieve best performance with your AI Kit.

      Our tentative conclusions are as follows:

      • If you need to use hailo-8 ai accelerator with high performance, it is recommended to use X1015/X1002/X1003/M901/ the official M.2 HAT+ etc. When choosing these PIP boards, you should focus on whether there is a conflict between the camera cable and the PIP board installation, and enable PCIe3.0 to use hailo-8 ai accelerator. At the same time, you need to prepare an SD card as the system disk.
      • If you don't care about the high performance brought by PCIe 3.0, then you can consider using X1004, so that you can use any socket of X1004 to install NVME SSD as the system disk, and another socket to install hailo-8 ai accelerator, so as to have both.

      I love this little NVME adapter. It fits just right over the Geekworm active cooling heatsink and makes it so I don't have to completely disassemble my PI stack to get at the stick, unlike an undermount NVME adapter. I got my PI 5 to boot off it, no problem.

      Great SSD addon

      This board has a nice build quality, it does a great job handling a full sized m.2 drive while keeping access to the GPIO header. My only complaint is that the 5V input should have an included cable as those aren't something generally on hand, though at least with my SSD I haven't needed it yet.
