Review: NVMe storage made easy on the Pi 5 - Picked this up to go with the Geekworm case for a Raspberry Pi 5 home assistant build, and it does exactly what it’s meant to. Fits cleanly, no alignment issues, and once installed it just worked – the Pi recognised the NVMe drive without any drama. Performance is solid, much faster and smoother than running everything off an SD card, and it feels like it really unlocks what the Pi 5 can do. Combined with the case and active cooler, it makes for a tidy, reliable little setup. If you want proper storage on a Pi 5, this board is a no-brainer. Review: Works good, but try your best to confirm compatibility before purchase - Quite a neat little addition to the Pi and boasts potential 2-3x speed increase compared to a USB caddy for an NVMe. Only downside is it didn't work with the SSD I was using initially and it wasn't obvious what the issue was. After some Googling, I found a comment from a user referencing material (I couldn't find) that said the particular Phison (?) NVMe controller could sometimes not function correctly with the hat. After changing out to a new SSD, it just started working perfectly at 8GB/s. ## Features - 【Compatibility】Designed for Raspberry Pi 5 (16GB/8GB/4GB, NOT included). and perfectly adapts to the official active cooler (sold separately). - 【M.2 Key-M NVMe SSD Supported】Support M.2 KEY-M NVMe SSD 2230/2242/2260/2280 length installation. 【IMPORTANT】DON'T use NVMe SSD with Phison controller, please refer to: https://wiki.geekworm.com/X1001#Important_Notes - 【High-Speed Data Transfer】Delivers blazing-fast NVMe SSD speeds: Up to 781MB/s read, 603MB/s write in PCIe 3.0 mode Up to 415MB/s read, 379MB/s write in PCIe 2.0 mode - 【How to Power】Use 5Vdc +/-5%, 5A to power via Raspberry Pi 5, and Pi 5 will power X1001 via FFC PCIe ribbon.
