[[File:M300-IMG-7477.jpg|thumb|right|M300 V1.1 Front view]]
==Overview==
The M300 shield is an NVME M2 2242 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!

== Important Notes==
{{NVMe SSD Incompatibility List}}
==Features==
* Compatible with other HAT shield;
* Supports installation of official active coolers also;
* With ''ACT'' LED Indicator; '''On: Power OK/Standby,Flashing: Reading/Writing'''
* Reserved space for POE module installation
* Supports 2230/2242 NVME M2 SSD only.
* Can Power the M300 shield directly from the FFC PCIe ribbon (providing maximum 5W of continuous power)
'''PS''':
# The M300 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 SSD, users need to find proper way to fix the 2230 SSD.

<summary>How to fix the 2230 SSD?</summary>
<p>
A: The X1000 does not reserve the nut column to fix the 2230 SSD. Based on our test, you can secure the 2230 SSD using an M2*6mm screw and 2pcs M2 nuts. Place one M2 nut under the SSD, then use the M2*6mm screw and the other M2 nut to fasten the SSD.
