==Overview==
'''Enhance your Raspberry Pi 5 with effortless installation and lightning-fast PCIe storage speeds!'''
The X1011 '''four M.2 NVMe SSD shield''', designed to provide a mass-capacity storage and high-speed storage solution for your Raspberry Pi 5. Its sleek and compact design enables easy attachment of '''four full-size M.2 2280 SSDs''' to your Raspberry Pi 5. With its PCIe 2.0 interface, you can experience data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps, allowing you to effortlessly transfer large amounts of data within seconds.
The X1011 connects to the underside of the Raspberry Pi 5, eliminating the need for a passthrough for the GPIO. This means you can use your favorite HATs while also utilizing this expansion board. Moreover, the X1011 offers versatile power options – it can draw power from the Raspberry Pi5 through pogo pins using a USB-C power supply, or alternatively, power the Raspberry Pi5 from the X1011 using a DC power adapter via the onboard DC power jack, streamlining the power supply process to a single source.
The X1011 is an ideal storage solution for creating a home media center or building a network-attached storage (NAS) system. It allows you to store and stream your own videos, music, and digital photos within your home or even remotely across the world.

==FAQ==
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.0;">
Q: Why is PCIE SWITCH 3.0 not used?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A: Cost reasons. X1011 use pcie 2.0 is based on cost considerations, in the design and production of X1011 in the Chinese market pcie 3.0 ic price close to 30 dollars (now the price should be lower, in addition, we are a small batch production manufacturing, there is no IC purchasing bargaining power), is pcie 2.0 ic price 6 times or more. We think the final selling price is too high to be accepted by consumers; another point to note is that PI5 is certified to support PCIE 2.0 only, not PCIE 3.0.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.0;">
Q: Why does the X1011 use a DC Jack instead of type-c?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A: We think about it more. TYPE-C is limited to 5A, if 4 NVME SSDs are read/written at the same time + motherboard + fan, is the TYPE-C power supply enough at peak? But DC JACK can provide more than 5A power supply, is there an extra option with DC JACK?
