Description

The Geekworm X1003 is a purpose-built PCIe to NVMe expansion board, meticulously engineered for the Raspberry Pi 5. Its ultra-compact design allows for top-side installation, making it an ideal choice for integrating high-speed M.2 NVMe storage without significantly increasing the footprint. This board is specifically designed to accommodate 2230 and 2242 specification NVMe SSDs, ensuring compatibility with a range of popular drives.

A key advantage of the X1003 is its seamless integration with the Raspberry Pi 5 ecosystem. It is fully compatible with the official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler and the official ABS case, allowing for comprehensive thermal management and protection. Users can leverage the PCIe Gen 2 x1 interface to achieve significantly faster boot times and data transfer rates compared to traditional microSD cards or USB storage. The board also includes an M.2 disk activity LED for visual status indication and supports NVMe boot directly from the Raspberry Pi 5 operating system.

Installation of the X1003 is straightforward, requiring the removal of the fan layer from the top of the enclosure to fit the board. It ensures reliable operation through its dedicated FPC power supply and an option for additional GPIO power. Please note that this board is exclusively for M.2 NVMe SSDs and does not support M.2 SATA SSDs or other non-NVMe devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which NVMe SSD sizes are compatible with the Geekworm X1003 for Raspberry Pi 5?

The X1003 board is designed to exclusively support M.2 Key-M NVMe SSDs with lengths of 2230mm and 2242mm. It is crucial to verify your SSD's form factor before purchase, as other sizes like 2280mm, or M.2 SATA SSDs, are not compatible with this specific HAT.

Can I use the Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler with the X1003 NVMe HAT?

Yes, the Geekworm X1003 is explicitly designed for compatibility with the Raspberry Pi 5 official Active Cooler and the official ABS case. This ensures you can maintain optimal thermal performance for your Raspberry Pi 5 while utilizing the high-speed NVMe storage.

Does the X1003 support NVMe boot on the Raspberry Pi 5?

Yes, the Geekworm X1003 supports NVMe boot functionality, allowing you to install and boot your Raspberry Pi OS directly from the connected M.2 NVMe SSD. This significantly improves boot times and overall system responsiveness compared to traditional microSD card solutions.

How does the Geekworm X1003 connect to the Raspberry Pi 5 for data and power?

The X1003 connects to the Raspberry Pi 5 via a short 22mm PCIe FFC cable for data transfer over the PCIe Gen 2 x1 interface. Power is typically supplied via this FPC connection, with an option for additional GPIO power to ensure stable operation for demanding NVMe drives.

Are there any specific considerations for using a new NVMe SSD with the X1003?

When connecting a new NVMe SSD to the X1003, it will typically be unpartitioned and unformatted. You will need to partition and format the SSD using Raspberry Pi OS tools (e.g., `fdisk`, `mkfs`) before it can be recognized and utilized for storage or booting.

Package Includes

  • 1 x X1003 V1.3 NVMe SSD Shield
  • 1 x PCIe FFC cable (22mm length)
  • 1 x M2x13mm screw (for fixing X1003 shield to official Active Cooler)
  • 1 x M2x4mm Screws (for fixing NVMe M2 SSD)
