## Description

Geekworm X1001 M.2 KEY-M NVMe SSD Shield for Raspberry Pi 5

Review: Good quality HAT does not block gpio - This is a good quality HAT that does not block or obstruct access to GPIO. Includes everything you need and works great.
Review: La Pi5 es rápida, la he probado con SSDs y M2 (SATA y NVME) a través de USB3 con adaptadores. Pero con esta placa usando el PCIe3x1 directamente las cosas están a otro nivel. Va todo mucho más fluido y responde antes. Hasta arrancar el firefox por primera vez se nota rápido (2-3s). He leido que NO se recomiendan discos con controlador PHISON (debido al firmware de la pi5). Yo he puesto un Samsung 970 Plus de 500GB, así que no puedo opinar, solo que con el mío funciona bien. Alcanza velocidades en lectura y escritura en torno a los 700/800 MBytes/s, un flipe. La placa en sí es pequeña y compatible con el disipador oficial de pi5. Deja sitio para que la pequeña turbina coja aire, espacio libre para los GPIOS, un diodo azul de actividad, y un conector de 5v (que no he necesitado usar). Trae todos los tornillos y elevadores necesarios para su instalación. Si tienes la suerte de usar una caja a la que sobre algo de sitio por arriba podrás instalarlo sin problema como ha sido mi caso. Se podría instalar al revés por debajo de la pi5, simplemente girándolo y usando unos separadores adecuados, aunque no lo recomiendo porque el calor del Nvme iría a parar directamente al procesador y RAM. Y recordemos también que el cable FCC es cortito por una razón. Debido a que uso una carcasas metálicas la WiFi nunca me ha ido demasiado bien y tiro de cable, asi que no sé si poner esta placa encima afecta a la WiFi. Una placa bien pensada que permite llevar la Pi5 al máximo nivel. Recomendada 100%.

*by W***S on 29 August 2025*

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.
