Product Description

READ ME before Starting

Enable PCIe: Must make sure to enable PCIe in the OS on the NVME SSD you are booting, instead of the OS on SD card. Too many people just enable PCIe in the OS on the SD CARD.Update eeprom firmware: Check and upgrade the bootloader firmware to the latest version;Set NVME boot order;DON’T enable PCIe 3.0, ONLY PCIe 2.0 is supported by Raspberry Pi fundation.If your SSD is old and has a DOS partition, delete the DOS partition and repartition the SSD (feedback from buyer)Please refer to the guide on Geekworm Wiki for specific operations.

[PS]: The official Raspberry Pi firmware is frequently upgraded and the OS is not stable enough. It is also a challenge for us.

NVMe SSD Incompatibility List

We recommend avoiding the following NVMe SSD drives which is equipped with a Phison controller due to their proven incompatibility:

WD Blue SN550/SN580 seriesWD Green SN350 seriesWD Black SN850 seriesOther NVMe SSD drivers equipped with the same Phison controller

These specific models have demonstrated compatibility issues, and it is advisable to avoid them when considering NVMe SSD options for the X10xx series NVMe shield.

Other Notes:

Compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDsNot compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, or other M.2 non-NVMe devicesOlder NVMe drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drivesNew 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.

Note: The Raspberry Pi 5, M.2 NVME SSD, power supply is not included in the packing list.

Overview

The X1000 shield is an NVMe M2 2242 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.

Features

Model: X1000Compatible with other HAT shield;FFC cable is only 30mm length.Supports installation of official active coolersReserved space for POE module installationSupports 2230/2242 NVMe M2 SSD only.Can Power the X1000 shield directly from the FFC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)With 40pin header, it can automatically supply power from GPIO, avoiding the problem of insufficient power supply for ultra-large capacity SSDs.

PS: The X1000 hardware has no limit on NVME SSD capacity, which is dependent on the Raspberry Pi OS

How to Power

Can power the X1000 shield directly from the FFC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)
