Right, that seems logical. I just hope there is enough clearance between my ssd and the Pi. I have ordered a box of m2.5 standoffs and some m2.5*4+6, lets see how it works out.
I also figured that if you flip the Pimoroni base over, you can mount it as a hat with the right standoffs. Then you can use the Geekworm P579 case as well. That might be a better option to keep all the parts cool, as the NVMe won't be squeezed up close to the Pi5 board.
Will this case work with the Pimoroni NVMe hat as well? I do not have the X1002 hat as it is hard to get in India. So, I got the Pimoroni bottom hat and now I'm looking for a case that'll fit.
I see, thanks. The pimoroni hat has its ssd in between the hat and pi5, and their clearance is 7mm. There still might be a way to make it fit, but I am not sure I have the exact mounting hardware. Thanks Harry.
It is recommended to replace the pimoroni spacers with M2.5*6mm (included in the P580 packing list); and you need to prepare 4pcs M2.5*4+4 or M2.5*4+5 spacers to fix the bottom.
Hi,We have sent X1001 to the Amazon warehouse, but it may take some time for the warehouse to receive it. If you want to buy the X1002+P580; you can purchase this kit here.https://www....2304169.html
Purchased the X1002 NVMe bottom board shield and the compatible P580 case. The case is okay, but there is no button for the RPi5's on off button, just a cutaway on the case. This means that I will have to insert an object into the cutaway to reach to button, which is a few mm back from the outside wall of the case. Geekworm, a simple button would make the case a lot nicer. Other than that, no complaints.
Amazon carrying P579 for HatDrive Top mount. No P580 offering on Amazon. Ordering X1002 would have liked to get the P580 as well. 10-18 days shipping from geekworm.com - unfavorable. Too much time passing means crushed or mangled product on delivery, if no delay.
