About this item

The Geekworm X1011 PCIe to Four M.2 NVMe SSD Board is a high-performance expansion solution tailored for the Raspberry Pi 5, enabling users to connect up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs (supporting 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factors) via a PCIe Gen 2 x1 interface. This setup facilitates data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps, significantly enhancing storage capabilities for applications like NAS, media servers, and data-intensive projects. The X1011 features dual power input options: it can draw power from the Raspberry Pi 5 through pogo pins and FFC, or supply power to the Raspberry Pi via a DC power jack, ensuring a stable and efficient power distribution. The board includes blue LED indicators to display power and drive status, and it supports the HAT+ standby power state, automatically powering off when the Raspberry Pi shuts down. Designed to be mounted on the underside of the Raspberry Pi 5, the X1011 allows for the use of additional HATs without interference. It is compatible with the official Raspberry Pi 5 active cooler, maintaining optimal cooling performance. Please note that the X1011 is exclusively compatible with NVMe SSDs and is not suitable for M.2 SATA or PCIe AHCI SSDs.
