PRODUCT DETAILS

Extension Board


› HARDWARE OVERVIEW
  • The X1001 connects an M.2 NVMe SSD (2230, 2242, 2260, or 2280 sizes) to the Pi 5’s PCIe 2.0 x1 interface, delivering speeds up to ~500 MB/s—far outpacing microSD cards (~50-100 MB/s) or USB 3.0 drives (~300-400 MB/s shared). Ideal for booting the OS, running a quick NAS, or supporting rapid data tasks.
  • Unlike bottom-mounted boards, the X1001 sits atop the Pi 5, making SSD swaps or checks straightforward without disassembling your setup. It includes a 40-pin GPIO header for HAT stacking, perfect for projects needing both storage and extra functionality (e.g., sensors or POE)—a big plus for tinkerers who value convenience.
  • At $15, it’s one of the cheapest NVMe options for the Pi 5, powered via GPIO (5V, up to 3A for the SSD) without external cables. It’s a no-frills, plug-and-play solution for builders wanting fast storage without complexity or high cost.
  • It’s tailored for users who prioritize speed and simplicity—think a portable media hub, lightweight server, or AI project where you might swap SSDs often.



› APPLICATIONS
The X1001 enhances your Raspberry Pi 5 with high-speed NVMe M.2 SSD storage. It ensures rapid data access for tasks like real-time image processing, machine learning, and extensive data logging. With its low profile design, users can stack HATs for added functionality, such as wireless communication or sensor support. This makes it an ideal solution for building portable AI systems or managing complex data processing in robotics projects.
