Frequently Asked Questions

What Raspberry Pi models is the X1011 compatible with?

The Geekworm X1011 is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi 5B. Its form factor and PCIe interface are tailored to the Pi 5's architecture, ensuring optimal performance and physical compatibility. It will not work with previous Raspberry Pi models like the Raspberry Pi 4 or earlier versions, due to different mechanical and electrical interfaces.

How does the X1011 handle power delivery for the SSDs and Raspberry Pi 5?

The X1011 offers versatile power options. It can draw power from the Raspberry Pi 5 via pogo pins when the Pi 5 is powered by a USB-C supply. Alternatively, it can power the Raspberry Pi 5 itself from its onboard DC power jack using a DC adapter, streamlining power to a single source for both the board and the Pi.

What types and sizes of M.2 NVMe SSDs are supported by the X1011?

The X1011 supports M.2 NVMe SSDs of various lengths, including 2280, 2260, 2242, and 2230. It provides four M.2 KEY-M slots, enabling the attachment of up to four full-size M.2 NVMe drives for high-capacity and high-speed storage solutions, enhancing the Pi 5's capabilities significantly.

Can other HATs be used simultaneously with the X1011 board?

Yes, the X1011 is designed to be attached to the underside of the Raspberry Pi 5. This clever placement means it does not obstruct the GPIO pins, allowing users to concurrently utilize their favorite HATs on top of the Raspberry Pi 5 without any physical or electrical interference, maximizing expansion potential.
