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.
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 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! 😁
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).
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.
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 saw Kioxia BG4 working with geekworm in your video. I tried using both Pineberry Pi and Pimoroni NVMe Base and was disappointed because Rpi5 didn't detect my BG4 through them, but I'm thinking of buying Geekworm and giving it a try.
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.
Great video. I've recently got an rpi5 and it's currently sd card and is housed in a geeekpi mini tower kit case. Would nvm fit inside or would better case be more suitable.

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?
@@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
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.

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.

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.
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.
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?
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.)

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.
Should I buy NVMe or SSD for Raspberry Pi 5?
Nvme is the fastest. SSD is still good for the price
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?
I have a clear one at the start of this video

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?
I haven’t tested it enough yet
Wasn't that first one meant to touch? Where would be the point of a heatsink if it doesn't touch they device?
I was using a different Geekworm case. The NVME was preventing the Pi from being flush with the raised lugs.
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.
You didn’t have to do any configuration? To boot from pcie?
Just updated the bootloader
Does RealVNC support Wayland yet?
I don’t think so, last time I heard they were working on it
th-cam.com/video/ikUH_wOesIY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IHVd3SPn-VDeUNxl
HELP: why is it before anything happening, there is a popup Authentication. I don't remember I setup an Authentication when I setup my Raspberry. When, I enter an empty. It said Authentication failed.
Not enough information to say, what Pi, storage, operating system?
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
Case
amzn.to/3vlNovK
Both of these I’m told fit in the case
amzn.to/3TjMfgb
amzn.to/43k69fQ
It is possible to add HAT ai?
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
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
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
Can the last one fit inside the raspberry case?
I don’t have the official case
Where can I get a pcie cable I've screwd mine tacking the SD card out.😢

Thanks Lee much appreciated 👍
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.
nuts!!
how about x1004 now?
I have a 1003 test soon
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
Can these be used with the pie 4
No, the Pi 4 doesn’t have pcie. Usb 3 is the fastest

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.

They don’t recommend your drive
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
th-cam.com/video/sKi0hQ-ZAIA/w-d-xo.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

@@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?
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 .
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.
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?

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.
