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, active cooler, power supply is not included in the packing list.

Overview

The X1003 is a PCIe to NVMe SSD expansion board designed to use with Raspberry Pi 5 active cooler and also support the official red and white Raspberry Pi 5 ABS case, it is very compact in size and only supports NVMe SSD of the 2230/2242 specification, but in order to install the X1003 you will need to remove the fan layer on the top of the official Raspberry Pi 5 ABS case.

Features

Model: X1003Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler and Raspberry Pi 5 official ABS case;Supports 2230/2242 NVMe M.2 SSD only.Can Power the X1003 shield directly from the FFC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)Supports additional GPIO power supply in addition to FFC power supplyFFC is only 22mm length.With M.2 disk activity (“ACT”) LED; On: Power OK/Standby,Flashing: Reading/Writing

PS: The X1003 hardware has no limit on NVME SSD capacity, which is dependent on the Raspberry Pi OS

How to Power

Can power the X1003 shield directly from the FFC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)
