[[File:M400-IMG-7476.jpg|thumb|right|M400 V1.1 Front View]]
==Overview==
The M400 V1.1 shield is an NVME M2 SSD PIP (PCIe Peripheral Board) for the Raspberry Pi 5 that uses the new PCIE interface of the Raspberry Pi 5 to utilise the NVME M2 SSDs for fast data transfers and ultra-fast booting.
This shield follows the new "PIP" [https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pcie/pcie-connector-standard.pdf design guideline] from Raspberry Pi fundation ensuring that it will be easy to use and be supported long term by updates to Raspberry Pi OS - though it is very early days and things are improving rapidly there!
{{PCIe to NVME Sets}}
== Important Notes==
{{NVMe SSD Incompatibility List}}
==Features==
* Supports installation of official active coolers;
* Dual LED Indicators: 5V Power LED and 'ACT' (M.2 disk activity).
* Supports 2230/2242/2280 NVME M2 SSD.
* Can power the M400 shield directly from the FFC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)
'''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 M400 hardware has no limit on NVME SSD capacity, which is dependent on the Raspberry Pi OS.
* Do not reserve the nut column to fix the 2230/2242 SSD, users need to find proper way to fix the 2230/2242 SSD.
