I just installed the X1001 two days ago and I'm happy to report the board works with the WD Black 770 M.2 NVME, something Pineberry does not support. The process took about 5 minutes to install and boot up. I was so pleased with this board, I purchased a second one. Thanks for the video, the 3D Printed M.2 adapters were an awesome idea!
Thank you so much for this!!! I also bought the X1001 but also saw the warning about SSDs using a Pison controller. I have been unable to find a reliable source of information on exactly which drives use the Phison controller. I'm glad you found one!!
I 3d printed a case for the 256gb unit. I like that the drive is between the base and Pi but (and I'm not sure of which is the bigger impact - case or SSD) the running temperature is up about 5 degrees (F). I'm using the official Pi5 fan/heatsink.
I liked your build with the X1002 Bottom that leaves the top free for a good cooler. I've ordered the Argon THRML 60mm Radiator Cooler, which looks like the trusty ICE Tower, but uses spring loaded push pins with the board's cooler mount holes. I'll update when the parts arrive.
I have the x1001 on my Pi 5 too but I opt for the KKSB Raspberry Pi 5 Case instead for higher clearance 'coz I'm using a rather aggressive heatsink on my Nvme SSD that is 2280 in size. I'll be getting it tomorrow. Can't wait! 😁
One more comment. I have three different models of SSD adapters for my pi 5’s and inserting the ribbon cable is always fiddly. I find it easier to attach the cable with the boards oriented so that it can go straight in, and then fold the adapter over and attach the screws. I don’t know why the pi foundation didn’t make this a right angle connector, the way it’s done on almost all adapter boards.
I prefer the x1002 board underneath. With the x1001, the camera and display ports are blocked and you are forced to use the standard fan. With the x1000 only standard fans are possible.
It looks like the difference between V1.0 (which I have) and V1.1 (which you have) is the existence of the pogo-pins for power. The way I assembled mine was to put the black screws through the Pi into and through the NVME board, then use the supplied stand-offs below those to be able to have something to screw into (for my eventual case).
Nicely done, thank you! Geekworm needs to add mounts for shorter drives. My production board from Amazon has the same issue as yours and when I was reading reviews for the X1001 this was a common complaint. The cooler mounting for X1001 is simple if you use the pi factory active cooler. I find it more than capable for cooling a pi 5 even at 3 GHz, and it gets adequate airflow with the half width X1001.
I have the Pineberry and Pimorini. I've had to 3D print / Laser cut my own cases. It's a pity that the standard Pi FGoundation ones couldn't have put some spacers in theirs to accommodate these obvious addons. You can remove the top fan but it's a kludge for the top hat. The lower board really needs a hatch to take it out. The problem when you're bleeding edge I suppose. Not a problem for me
I just got the X1002. I had to update the eeprom in the raspberry pi 5 to enable the nvme. I also really struggled with the little ribbon connector on the external board. I also couldn't put a small NVMe in the board, same as you saw.
Where did you get those M.2 2230 to 2242 or 2280 extenders? They held the drive with little notches that catch the corners of the drive. Clever. Most of those I've seen are breakaway PC boards.
Thank you, this is good. These GeekWorm boards are very nice. Putting the M.2 on top clearly is the way to go for the sake of heat dissipation. GeekWorm should also provide some boards targeting the **2230 / 2242 ONLY** in order to minimize the overlap with the main board / RPi fan, and let users add complementary hats for other purposes at the same level.
Did you do the cases form 52Pi? I saw you do the metal cases but there were some clear ones but have not seen a video on it. Was that done or is it in progress?

Hi, I purchased a geekworm adapter for my raspi 5 and now using my nvme as main boot device. Everything worked out fine, except since this switch after a while I can't connect anymore to my raspi. It seems like the SSD is going into some idle mode. If I start working on an open SSH connection again, everything goes back to work again without a restart. No idea why this happens. Do you have some experience here? Many thanks!
Is there enough power to have the raspberry Pi 5 be configured to use both a 2.5 solid state drive under the SBC and also use the upper plate containing the NVME drive?
How do you create a backup image of these large NVMe drives. Lets say a 1TB SSD without the need to create a 1TB image file? Wasn't a massive issue imaging a 32GB SD card lets say, but a 1TB drive? And I do mean an "image" and not having to resort to backing up individual files. I'm struggling to find a solution.
I use Pi Safe to create compressed backups, you need more space than the original to perform this process I believe. Pi-Safe. Raspberry Pi 4 / Pi 400. Backup, Shrink and Restore SD cards and USB devices. ruclips.net/video/XP6ycUR9Ih0/видео.html

Geekworm has a blurb on their product pages about NVMe drives with the Phison controller not being compatible. It says WD Blue SN550/SN580, WD Green SN350, WD Black SN850, and other drives with the controller are not compatible. I think Samsung uses their own controllers.
I have the x1000 and it was a bear getting it running, had to try imaging it multiple times. It's like the nvme is not receiving enough power. Also, if I sudo reboot, it fails to start every time. I have to pull power supply and plug it back it to reboot. I'm using the standard raspberry pi 5 power supply. Is there a higher powered power supply I should be using?

I’ve got a raspberrypi 5. Brand new. It’s not booting up/ sending hdmi signal but the green light flashes. Any ideas? I can’t seem to get any info or help.
First I would try a fresh copy of Raspberry Pi os on an sd card Try a different display If still not working Try to ssh into the Pi. This video should help ruclips.net/video/sKi0hQ-ZAIA/видео.html Basically you are connecting to the Pi remotely over WiFi or wired. If you can access it run. sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade If you still don’t get a display try 1:20 in this video to update the bootloader ruclips.net/video/xwXLzZWSVW0/видео.htmlsi=TLAWaTQJNnRMrUYa
the nvme touching the case is probably intentional, to use it as a heat sink, probably why there aren't standoffs either, fiddly trick to get it installed and keep it in place.
I received these 3 cards some days ago, the x1002 is better than the Pineberry hatdrive bottom (micro sd access), I hope they will make an update for that! Geekworm copied some design of the Pineberry hats, I hope Pineberry will have some credit for that (I support my fellow European designers).
Does yours have the pogo-pins for power? If so, what version is the board? I have an X1002 V1.0 and it does not have the power pogo-pins. I was surprised to see that in the video. Edit: I paused the video and made it fullscreen and can see that the one @leepspvideo is demonstrating is a V1.1, so yeah, that's the difference.
@@leepspvideo I use a Pi for my home NAS. OMV will not support RAID when using USB HDD. They say that USB is not stable! My own experience of USB HDD is positive so I have concluded that I don't need RAID but I'm still bothered by their comment about stability.

Hello everyone I got the X1001 board, set up was fine writing the image was all good, but I couldn't get the rpi5 to boot from nvme ( something with the boot order of course ) unfortunately, I tried using sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit to add this : BOOT_ORDER=0xf416 but that didn't work, looks like something with the rpi-eeprom-config command itself failing on update or something. Did you have to change the boot order or simply taking out the SDCard and starting the pi again is sufficient without any kind of config. Thanks a lot
I can't get the pineberry pine drive to work with WD Blue SN580. I'm thinking that my drive is not compatible. I'm going to try it with a crucial p3 plus that I ordered and is on its way. Hopefully that will work. I've followed all the guides. Does anyone have experience with nvme on pi5 with ubuntu? Ultimately, I would like to run ubuntu, but all the guides I've found have instructions for the rapberry OS. I know the boot config is different, I'd just like to know if anyone has gotten that to work. In my case, I won't know until I try the crucial drive.
Hahaha enjoy it! I m only joking… at least you are sharing info about the devices to others! Hopefully more people will be able to get one soon! I bought one at the Raspberry Pi store in Cambridge at the weekend.
Que buen video muy detallado y soy nuevo en esto y pues aqui aprendido con videos como este, saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 P.S si alguien me confirma si monto mi Raspberry pi 5 como en estw video puedo correr mi nodo de bitcoin?
Pi boards get hot and need cooling. So any hat that goes on top, I don't like and would not consider buying! With that said, some creative solutions on top that allow a fan & cooling is interesting.
I think raspberry pi lost its direction somewhere along the way: Now you need an active cooler, an addon board to mount the nvme... What they should have done instead: put the nvme connector directly on the pi, dimension the cpu properly so that you don't need an active cooler (maybe except in extreme cases). Having an nvme connector is great, but put it directly on the pi! and get rid of the second display connector! Who has the money to run a dual monitor system, for sure has enough money to buy a gigabyte brix or intel nuc (albeit second hand now). And if you start to count the price of the pi, the price of active cooler, the price of a daughter board for nvme, you won't get much cheaper than a second hand nuc, which runs circles around the pi performance wise. As it is, raspberry pi5 b doesn't make a lot of sense for the majority of people
They do an official micro HDMI to VGA adapter apparently (£6 at PiHut) and my VGA monitor (flat, probably CCFL - i only looked at the specs when I was buying it) cost me £14. I'm fairly sure since then that I've seen a whole lot of similar kit corraled on its way to the dump. If you can sort out the mains electricity distribution and [obviously] the furniture and the cable-management consequences, then that is the ECONOMY option - with a standard HD 16:9 compared to some retroflex-curvy UHD single - if you want a "workstation" set-up from it.
It's all about what you can do with the things that are going out of fashion for price-gouging: Up until Pi 4 the only interfaces to the system were _a single_ USB 2.0 and SDIO (on which the WiFi eventually went: not that it needed the bandwidth.)

How do you create a backup image of these large NVMe drives. Lets say a 1TB SSD without the need to create a 1TB image file? Wasn't a massive issue imaging a 32GB SD card lets say, but a 1TB drive? And I do mean an "image" and not having to resort to backing up individual files. I'm struggling to find a solution.
I use Pi Safe to create compressed backups, you need more space than the original to perform this process I believe.

To clarify - if only 100GB of the 1TB drive is used - then how to just create a 100GB Image?
@@leepspvideo Thanks. I shall investigate this. Just in the process of overhauling my backups for various co-located windows servers and thought it high time that I should start paying some attention to my various Pi's I now have in play.
@@leepspvideo Needing more space than the original drive, regardless of its contents, is what I am trying to avoid unfortunately. Oh well. Thanks anyway.
@@mqblowe all the results from my test are in the video. I don’t know how large the backup will be after the whole process has finished
how about x1004 now?
I have a 1003 test soon
Should I buy NVMe or SSD for Raspberry Pi 5?
Nvme is the fastest. SSD is still good for the price
Using the Pimoroni HAT, and getting 850+ speeds on GEN 3 (HDParm), well happy. A bit disappointed you cant get these NVMe cables longer, or anywhere at all.
I found these, still only 5cm

@@leepspvideo Many thx! Why are they so short though?
Possibly to do with keeping the speeds high. Although the Edatec nvme case has a long cable @@scaramonga see the start of this video ruclips.net/video/ZUKtfwAzv_8/видео.htmlsi=oJS8cXAdbE0HqNnr
more importantly what ones do they support - I bought a pimironi one for my samsung long m2 and it wasn't supported :(
M.2 nvme, was yours M.2 sata?
Geekworm has a blurb on their product pages about NVMe drives with the Phison controller not being compatible. It says WD Blue SN550/SN580, WD Green SN350, WD Black SN850, and other drives with the controller are not compatible.
I think Samsung uses their own controllers.
I have the x1000 and it was a bear getting it running, had to try imaging it multiple times. It's like the nvme is not receiving enough power.
Also, if I sudo reboot, it fails to start every time. I have to pull power supply and plug it back it to reboot.
I'm using the standard raspberry pi 5 power supply.
Is there a higher powered power supply I should be using?
@@user.A9 I was using the official pi5 adapter without problems. Do you have many more devices plugged in to your pi that may be drawing more power?
@@leepspvideo nothing plugged in except ethernet. My PSELN128GA87MC0 nvme is labeled 3.3V 2.0A, is that too much power?
@@leepspvideo I have also tried a SDDPTQD-256G-1012 nvme with not much more luck. It is rated at 4.4W per the spec sheet.
@ it’s likely you phison nvme
which NVMe drives work with a Raspberry Pi 5?
ruclips.net/video/3mUgVTBmKio/видео.html
@ just my luck, not compatible with the nvme I already have.
Its my first time with pi and a node , i have a pi5 i cant make up my mind if i should use a hat and nvme 2tb ssd or a sata ssd 2tb drive what would you think would be best for a btc node , any info much appreciated . thanks
I haven’t any experience with nodes. Nvme is the fastest but I’m not sure it will make any difference
Can these be used with the pie 4
No, the Pi 4 doesn’t have pcie. Usb 3 is the fastest

I was just wondering is there a reason like possibly can only use one of the other you can't use both like SD card and Geekworm X1002 PCIe to M.2 2280 NVMe SSD I was just curious because my OS is on the SD card and I was going to use that other drive as storage for the game ROMs and what not🤔🤔🤔🤔
Yes, you can use nvme for storage and run an os on sd card. The raspberry Pi defaults to sd card boot
I’ve got a raspberrypi 5. Brand new. It’s not booting up/ sending hdmi signal but the green light flashes. Any ideas? I can’t seem to get any info or help.
Turn off the safe hdmi in the config file
@@bersissevimli1588 how do I do that? I’m new to all this.
First I would try a fresh copy of Raspberry Pi os on an sd card
Try a different display
If still not working
Try to ssh into the Pi. This video should help
ruclips.net/video/sKi0hQ-ZAIA/видео.html
Basically you are connecting to the Pi remotely over WiFi or wired. If you can access it run.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
If you still don’t get a display try
1:20 in this video to update the bootloader
ruclips.net/video/xwXLzZWSVW0/видео.htmlsi=TLAWaTQJNnRMrUYa
@@leepspvideo thanks I’ll try that. Bit worried the new pi5 is faulty
The led flashes green 4 long flashes and 3 short flashes. Does that mean anything?
the nvme touching the case is probably intentional, to use it as a heat sink, probably why there aren't standoffs either, fiddly trick to get it installed and keep it in place.
I was using a different Geekworm case. The NVME was preventing the Pi from being flush with the raised lugs.
@@leepspvideo perhaps designed to touch, but... not very well
The case is designed for the NVME adapters. I was experimenting to see if it would fit. I probably didn’t point it out in the video @@felderup
nuts!!
I received these 3 cards some days ago, the x1002 is better than the Pineberry hatdrive bottom (micro sd access), I hope they will make an update for that! Geekworm copied some design of the Pineberry hats, I hope Pineberry will have some credit for that (I support my fellow European designers).
Like with the top and bottom pineberry hatdrives, I managed to use a 8TB Sata SSD with a Sata 3 controller board.
Does yours have the pogo-pins for power?
If so, what version is the board?
I have an X1002 V1.0 and it does not have the power pogo-pins. I was surprised to see that in the video.
Edit: I paused the video and made it fullscreen and can see that the one @leepspvideo is demonstrating is a V1.1, so yeah, that's the difference.
@@glabifrons Mine has 2 pogo-pins too
I am hoping for a SATA hat so I can connect 3.5" HDD.
I don't think there is anyway yet except USB and the OMV people say don't use USB for HDD
Usb is fine for a HDD what are you planning to use it for? The extra speed of pcie is really more suited to nvme
@@leepspvideo I use a Pi for my home NAS. OMV will not support RAID when using USB HDD. They say that USB is not stable!
My own experience of USB HDD is positive so I have concluded that I don't need RAID but I'm still bothered by their comment about stability.
Does anyone know if Argon One is making a case for the Pi 5 with the M2 drive ?
Yes they are, check their official website :D
Geekworm is delivering with these NVMe HATszI’m surprised they didn’t send you the P579.
I just got my P579 and X1001 hat today and they fit perfectly with the stock cooler. I'm well pleased.
As far as I understand there is no case that would fit both Pi 5 and NVMe
I have just received one from 52Pi. I’ll be testing it soon

Both of these I’m told fit in the case

Hello everyone
I got the X1001 board, set up was fine writing the image was all good, but I couldn't get the rpi5 to boot from nvme ( something with the boot order of course ) unfortunately,
I tried using sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit to add this : BOOT_ORDER=0xf416 but that didn't work, looks like something with the rpi-eeprom-config command itself failing on update or something.
Did you have to change the boot order or simply taking out the SDCard and starting the pi again is sufficient without any kind of config.
Thanks a lot
I just made sure I had the latest eeprom update. Check the docs, some nvme drives are incompatible. All sata m.2 are incompatible
I can't get the pineberry pine drive to work with WD Blue SN580. I'm thinking that my drive is not compatible. I'm going to try it with a crucial p3 plus that I ordered and is on its way. Hopefully that will work. I've followed all the guides. Does anyone have experience with nvme on pi5 with ubuntu? Ultimately, I would like to run ubuntu, but all the guides I've found have instructions for the rapberry OS. I know the boot config is different, I'd just like to know if anyone has gotten that to work. In my case, I won't know until I try the crucial drive.
Take a look at the Geekworm wiki.
wiki.geekworm.com/X1001
They don’t recommend your drive
I now realise why RP5s were sold out for so long 😂 How many Raspberry Pi 5s have you hoarded?
I bought two on day one. I was sent one pre release model plus Edatec sent me two. I realise I’m in a fortunate position
Hahaha enjoy it! I m only joking… at least you are sharing info about the devices to others! Hopefully more people will be able to get one soon! I bought one at the Raspberry Pi store in Cambridge at the weekend.
? I had a much easier time getting a pi5 than a pi4 a few years ago .

Que buen video muy detallado y soy nuevo en esto y pues aqui aprendido con videos como este, saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
P.S si alguien me confirma si monto mi Raspberry pi 5 como en estw video puedo correr mi nodo de bitcoin?
Pi boards get hot and need cooling. So any hat that goes on top, I don't like and would not consider buying!
With that said, some creative solutions on top that allow a fan & cooling is interesting.
So many poorly designed parts. Cooler for my PI5 uses the two open holes which is designed for a cooler, GeeekPi Active Cooler for Raspberry Pi 5
I think raspberry pi lost its direction somewhere along the way:
Now you need an active cooler, an addon board to mount the nvme...
What they should have done instead:
put the nvme connector directly on the pi, dimension the cpu properly so that you don't need an active cooler (maybe except in extreme cases). Having an nvme connector is great, but put it directly on the pi! and get rid of the second display connector! Who has the money to run a dual monitor system, for sure has enough money to buy a gigabyte brix or intel nuc (albeit second hand now). And if you start to count the price of the pi, the price of active cooler, the price of a daughter board for nvme, you won't get much cheaper than a second hand nuc, which runs circles around the pi performance wise.
As it is, raspberry pi5 b doesn't make a lot of sense for the majority of people
They do an official micro HDMI to VGA adapter apparently (£6 at PiHut) and my VGA monitor (flat, probably CCFL - i only looked at the specs when I was buying it) cost me £14. I'm fairly sure since then that I've seen a whole lot of similar kit corraled on its way to the dump.
If you can sort out the mains electricity distribution and [obviously] the furniture and the cable-management consequences, then that is the ECONOMY option - with a standard HD 16:9 compared to some retroflex-curvy UHD single - if you want a "workstation" set-up from it.
It's all about what you can do with the things that are going out of fashion for price-gouging: Up until Pi 4 the only interfaces to the system were _a single_ USB 2.0 and SDIO (on which the WiFi eventually went: not that it needed the bandwidth.)
the moment I read 'Made in China' I was done.
