Overview

The X1012 NVMe+POE shield is specifically designed to offer a reliable power source and enhance storage capabilities for the Raspberry Pi 5.

POE (Power Over Ethernet) refers to the ability to provide DC power for IP-based network devices while transmitting data signals at the same time without affecting the standard Ethernet cabling infrastructure.

With its sleek and compact design, this shield allows for easy attachment of various M.2 SSD lengths (including 2280, 2260, 2242, and 2230) to your Raspberry Pi 5. It supports booting the operating system from your SSD, leading to quicker application launches, web serving, and file copying.

Important Notes

NVMe SSD Incompatibility List

We recommend avoiding the following NVMe SSD drives which is equipped with a Phison controller due to their proven incompatibility:

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. You can run "lspci" command to check the controller brand of the SSD.

Also note:

  • Compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDs only, Not compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, or other M.2 non-NVMe devices
  • Older NVMe drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives
  • New 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.
  • We get feedback from customers that Polaris Controller will also have compatibility problems. Please replace the other SSD test if it not work, whether it is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 does not depend on the X100X series boards
  • NVMEs using the MAP1202 controller may not support PCIe Gen 2, and must be forced to enable PCIe Gen 3 in order to be recognised. This is due to the fact that the controller is not backward compatible with PCIe Gen 2, and NVMEs using this controller will have compatibility issues, and are not recommended for use.

PS: There is also feedback from buyers that even NVME SSDs with Phison controller are supported after updating the latest firmware. Please refer to go to: X1001#comment-4638

Test & Reviews

Test Conditions

  • System board details: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0 , 4G RAM
  • Interface board details: X1012 POE+NVMe Shield
  • Operation system: Raspberry Pi OS with desktop (Debian12 (bookworm), 64bit, Release date: October 10th 2023)
  • Storage details: Netac N930E-PRO M.2 NVMe 128GB


Testing the SSD speed from command line with dd

  1. To test the write speed, writing 1 GB of data in 10 blocks of 100 MB.
  2. To test the read speed, use dd to read our entire TestingFile file generated from the last command, in 10 blocks of 100 MB each.


Run at PCIe 2.0

Run at PCIe 3.0

X1012-test-pcie3.png

As seen above, the final results with the dd command are:

  • Write speed: 389 MB/s at PCIe 2.0, 377MB/s at PCIe 2.0
  • Read speed: 730 MB/s at PCie 2.0, 700MB/s at PCIe 3.0


Testing disk drive read speed with hdparm

Run at PCIe 2.0, average read rate: 432 MB/s (3 samples)
