X1000 V1.3: NVME M2 2230/2242 SSD Shield for Raspberry Pi 5

X1000 V1.3: With 40P pin header, can be laminated with other HAT boards.

X1000 V1.3: Compatible with official active cooler

Overview

The X1000 V1.3 shield is an NVME M2 2242 SSD PIP (PCIe Peripheral Board) for the Raspberry Pi 5 that uses the new PCIE interface of the Raspberry Pi 5 to utilise the NVME M2 SSDs for fast data transfers and ultra-fast booting.

Model	Compatible with	Position	NVMe M2 SSD Support
X1000	Raspberry Pi 5	Top	Support 2230/2242 NVMe M2 SSD
X1001	Raspberry Pi 5	Top	Support 2230/2242/2260/2280 NVMe M2 SSD
X1002	Raspberry Pi 5	Bottom	Support 2230/2242/2260/2280 NVMe M2 SSD

Features

Compatible with other HAT shield;
FFC is only 30mm length.
Supports installation of official active coolers also;
Dual LED Indicators:PCE: PCie - The LED will be on if the SSD is recognised; SSD - M.2 disk activity (“ACT”).
Reserved space for POE module installation
Supports 2230/2242 NVME M2 SSD only.
Can Power the X1000 shield directly from the FFC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)
With 40pin pin header, it can automatically supply power from GPIO, avoiding the problem of insufficient power supply for ultra-large capacity SSDs.

PS:

The X1000 hardware has no limit on NVME SSD capacity, which is dependent on the Raspberry Pi OS.
Do not reserve the nut column to fix the 2230 SSD, users need to find proper way to fix the 2230 SSD.

FAQ

How to fix the 2230 SSD?

A: The X1000 does not reserve the nut column to fix the 2230 SSD. Based on our test, you can secure the 2230 SSD using an M2*6mm screw and 2pcs M2 nuts. Place one M2 nut under the SSD, then use the M2*6mm screw and the other M2 nut to fasten the SSD.
