|content= Subject: X1011 - Help on selecting a suitable power supply (test based on Geekworm 5V 10A Power Supply)

The testing continues… The Crucial nvme drives did not work out as there was not enough clearance in the case. In the future it may be great to redesign the Geekworm X1011-C1 PCIe Metal Case for Raspberry Pi 5 to add at least 1cm of depth to permit better air flow for the nvme’s and clearance for the heatsinks…

I am finding the original WD Black nvme drives are failing at an alarming rate. The SanDisk warranty replacement is good but takes time (3-4 weeks).

I found that the WD Blue SN5000 NVMe SSD PCI 4.0 4tb is running without any errors. A replacement WD_BLACK SN8100 4000GB is running with only a couple of errors.. While the original WD_BLACK SN850X 4000GB has 1,169 errors and is ready to fail…

I suspect the original WD Black SN850x 4000GB drives may have been hurt is various testing in the past not related to the Geekworm products.

The power supply is great….I would recommend it for anyone running 4TB and up nvme drives…

I will continue to update you with new news once I get more WD Blue SN5000 NVMe SSD PCI 4.0 4tb drives

If you can create a deeper the Geekworm X1011-C1 PCIe Metal Case for Raspberry Pi 5 I would be happy to test it out.. (at least 1-1.5 CM deeper, and possible mounting points for an external fan to cool the drives).. I am using a fan up against the case and it really helps keep them cool!

Good day Cindy!

I received the 10a power supply yesterday and pressed it into service immediately.

The best test of it was to use OMV8 (Open Media Vault 8 – under IOS – Trixie) to create a RAID5 group of all 4 nvme 4tb drives..

After a short time, one of the drives failed… (I suspect that it was hurt with the weak power from the original limited 5a power supply).. I installed a preplacement nvme drive and restarted the process.. This morning the RAID 5 group is up and working well..

This is a much better result compared with the 5a power supply.. I will update you in a week or so to let you know if anything comes up.. At this point, I would say that this 10a power supply is better for a fully populated X1011 with larger nvme drives..

Good Day

I purchased the Geekworm X1011 5V PCIe to Four M.2 NVMe SSD Board for Raspberry Pi 5. I installed 4 WD 4Tb NVME drives. Things ran for a bit.. (OMV7-Bookworm).. As the Raid5 set was cleaning.. OMV eventually ended by dumping all four drives.. I wonder if the 5 amp power supply is not enough.. (I am using the Geekworm GaN PD 27W 5.1V 5A Power Supply)

I found a 5V 8A Power Adapter, 100-240V AC to DC Power Supply transformer on amazon.ca.. Unfortunately they do not document the configuration of the DC Jack (ASIN-809MQNBX8H, Manufacturer reference - Diocheya6gr98w1h489 Country - China). Product detail describes the connector type as default...

Would you have a recommendation for a power supply with greater amps? Or.. would the 8A one described above be ok?

I await your recommendation
