Frequently Asked Questions

What type of SSDs does the Geekworm X1004 shield support?

The X1004 shield is designed to support two full-size M.2 2280 NVMe solid-state drives. It accommodates a total storage capacity of up to 8TB, allowing for significant high-speed storage expansion for your Raspberry Pi 5 projects and applications.

What is the data transfer speed achievable with this NVMe shield?

The Geekworm X1004 shield leverages the Raspberry Pi 5's dedicated PCIe 2.0 interface, providing a robust data transfer rate of up to 5Gbps. This speed is crucial for demanding applications like fast boot times, large file transfers, and high-performance data processing on the Pi 5.

Can I use other HATs or the official cooler with the X1004 shield?

Yes, the X1004 is engineered with HAT-compatibility in mind. Its design allows it to be placed on top of the Raspberry Pi 5 while still providing access to the 40-pin GPIO header for stacking other HATs. It is also fully compatible with Raspberry Pi's official active and passive coolers.

How does the X1004 shield connect to the Raspberry Pi 5 and receive power?

The X1004 shield connects to the Raspberry Pi 5 primarily via a custom PCIe FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) for data transfer. Power is supplied through both the 40-pin GPIO header and the PCIe FFC, ensuring stable operation. It also supports the HAT+ standby power state for seamless power management.

What operating systems and software tools are compatible with the X1004 for NVMe boot?

The X1004 shield works with Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian) and other compatible ARM distributions that support NVMe boot functionality on the Raspberry Pi 5. Users typically use the official Raspberry Pi Imager or command-line tools to flash the OS directly to the NVMe SSD for a robust, high-performance boot drive.
