==Overview==
Geekworm X1001-Max: a A high-performance PCIe extension board for Raspberry Pi 5, engineered for power-hungry M.2 NVMe devices, boasting full M.2 NVMe compatibility(all length), flexible dual power inputs, dual independent high-current delivery, blazing-fast PCIe speeds, and optimized cooling & stackable design.
==Features==
<span class="tb_red">'''Important Note：'''
①Supports the Hailo AI acceleration module; ②NVMe devices only, not compatible with M.2 SATA, AHCI, or non-NVMe devices; ③Power it via either the USB-C socket or DC jack (do not connect both sourcessimultaneously); ④Don't apply power to your Raspberry Pi through its Type-C USB socket.</span>
* '''Designed for Power-Hungry M.2 NVMe Device:''' Raspberry Pi 5-exclusive PCIe extension board optimized for high-demand peripherals like AI accelerator cards and large-capacity NVMe SSDs
* '''Dual Versatile Power Inputs:''' Supports max 120W USB-C PD (27W–120W range, recommended 65W/100W PD power supply) or 9–20V DC jack (recommended 12V 5A power adapter) for flexible power matching
* '''Dual-Circuit High-Current Power Delivery:''' Integrated dual DC-DC converters supply stable 5.1V/8A to Pi 5 and 3.3V/8A to M.2 devices, eliminating cross-interference and ensuring uninterrupted high-performance operation
* '''Full-Range M.2 NVMe SSD Compatibility:''' Works with all common M.2 SSD lengths (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280) for flexible storage/AI peripheral configuration—NVMe devices only

'''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'''
[[File:X100x dd test pcie2.0.png]]
'''Run at PCIe 3.0'''
[[File:X100x dd test pcie3.0.png]]
As seen above, the final results with the dd command are:
* '''Write speed:''' 379 MB/s at PCIe 2.0, 603MB/s at PCIe 3.0
* '''Read speed:''' 415 MB/s at PCie 2.0, 781MB/s at PCIe 3.0
'''Testing disk drive read speed with hdparm'''
* '''Run at PCIe 2.0, average read rate:''' 395.5 MB/s (3 samples)
