== Important Notes==
{{NVMe SSD Incompatibility List}}
==Features==
* Minimalist design, easy to install
* Compatible with other HAT shield;
* FFC is only 30mm length.
* Supports installation of official active coolers;
* PCIE LED Indicators: PCie - The LED will be on if the SSD is recognised;
:According the [https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pcie/pcie-connector-standard.pdf Raspberry Pi Foundation's specification for PCIE], we have redesigned and retained only the ACT LED indicator in the next production batch (starting December 20, 2023).'''On: Power OK/Standby,Flashing: Reading/Writing'''
* Supports 2230/2242/2260/2280 NVME M2 SSD.
* Can power the X1001 shield directly from the FFC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)
* Integrated with XH2.54 5V power connector, just use it if you are using a ultra large capacity SSD if the current is not enough;
'''PS''':
* Maximum current for pcie connector is <mark>1A</mark>, and voltage is 5V
* If you find that the SSD is not working properly, it is possible that the power supply of SSD is not enough, then you need to check the current requirement of your SSD to decide whether power the SSD separately.
* The X1001 hardware has no limit on NVME SSD capacity, which is dependent on the Raspberry Pi OS.
==How to Power==
Can power the X1001 shield directly from the FFC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)
[[File:Nvme-SSD-Current-Note.jpg|800px]]
==Matching Case==
Refer to [[P579 |P579/P579-V2]]
[[File:P579-V2-IMG-7787-interface.jpg|500px]]
[[File:P579-V2-IMG-7211-size-1.jpg|500px]]

==Test Reviews==
By default the PCIe connector is not enabled. To enable it you should add the following option into <span class="tb_blue">/boot/firmware/config.txt</span> and <span class="tb_blue">reboot</span>:
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
Then add the following comment;
# Enable the PCIe External connector.
dtparam=pciex1
# This line is an alias for above (you can use either/or to enable the port).
dtparam=nvme
Press '''Ctrl-O''', then enter, to write the change to the file.
Press '''Ctrl-X''' to exit nano (the editor).
And the connection is certified for Gen 2.0 speed (5 GT/sec), but you can force it to Gen 3.0 (10 GT/sec) if you add the following line after:
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3
You also can refer to official documentatio:[https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi-5.html#enabling-pcie Enabling PCIe]
After I forced Gen 3.0 speeds, in my many tests I found that some NVMEs were able to run stably, but some NVMEs caused some problems: such as slow startup and running laggy, really really laggy. As the official statement says:
The Raspberry Pi 5 is not certified for Gen 3.0 speeds, and connections to PCIe devices at these speeds may be unstable.
'''Run the following command on Teminal window to test:'''
dd if=/dev/zero of=./Testingfile bs=100M count=10 oflag=direct
dd if=./Testingfile of=/dev/zero bs=100M count=10 oflag=dsync

=== 1. Core Compatibility ===
==User Manual==
This expansion board is '''only compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDs'''.
* X1001 hardware description: [[X1001 Hardware]]
* X1001 software tutorials: [[NVMe SSD boot with the Raspberry Pi 5]]
* [https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pcie/pcie-connector-standard.pdf Raspberry pi 5 pcie connector pin out]
* Dimensions source file (DXF): [[File:X1001-V1.0.dxf]] - You can view it with [https://viewer.autodesk.com/ Autodesk Viewer] online


'''Not compatible:'''<br />
===Video Guide===
M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, and any other M.2 non-NVMe devices.

=== 2. SSDs to Avoid (Phison Controller) ===
X1001/X1001/X1002 Test Video by leepsvideo
The following NVMe SSDs equipped with '''Phison controllers''' have been confirmed to have compatibility issues and are '''not recommended''':
https://youtu.be/XMA8e4r1AUQ
* WD Blue SN580 series
{{#ev:youtube|https://youtu.be/XMA8e4r1AUQ}}
* WD Black SN850 series
* WD Black SN770
* WD SN740
* WD SN810
* Inland TN446 NVMe SSD
* Corsair MP600 SSD
* Kingston NV3 NVMe SSD
* Micron 2450 SSD (detectable, but cannot boot from NVMe)
* Other NVMe SSDs using the same Phison controller


=== 3. SSDs with Resolved Compatibility Issues ===
Which NVMe drives work with a Raspberry Pi 5?
The following models originally had compatibility issues but have been resolved with system/firmware updates:
https://youtu.be/3mUgVTBmKio
* '''WD Blue SN550 series''' – Resolved after the <code>rpi-eeprom-update</code> released on January 24, 2024
{{#ev:youtube|https://youtu.be/3mUgVTBmKio}}
* '''WD Green SN350 series''' – Resolved (refer to community feedback)


:'''Note:''' These SSDs require updating the Raspberry Pi EEPROM and system to the specified version (e.g., after January 24, 2024) to function properly.

=== 6. Important Usage Notes ===
<!--Please choose the  -->
# '''Older NVMe SSDs''' may perform slower due to less efficient flash media.
<!--Remove other categories, just keep the appropriate categories -->
# '''New NVMe SSDs''' come without partitions. They must be partitioned and formatted before they appear in the file manager.
# SSD compatibility with the Raspberry Pi 5 is determined by the Raspberry Pi platform itself, not by the X100X series expansion board.
# '''How to check your SSD controller:'''<br />Run the following command in the terminal:
  <pre>
lspci
</pre>
Look for the line labeled '''"Non-Volatile memory controller"''' to identify the controller brand.


=== 7. Additional Note ===
