## Overview

The Geekworm X1003 PCIe to M.2 HAT is a compact expansion board designed exclusively for Raspberry Pi 5, enabling ultra-fast NVMe SSD storage via PCIe Gen3 x1. It supports 2230 and 2242 M.2 Key-M NVMe SSDs and integrates seamlessly with the official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler and ABS case. This upgrade transforms your Pi 5 into a high-performance powerhouse with faster boot times and app launches, ideal for professionals seeking reliable and speedy storage solutions.

## Description

The X1003 is a PCIE to NVME expansion board designed to support the official Raspberry Pi 5 abs case, it is very compact in size and only supports NVME ssd's of the 2230/2242 specification, but it is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 active cooler as well as the official red and white enclosure, but in order to install the X1003 you will need to remove the fan layer on the top of the enclosure.

Review: I bought two different solutions for adding an NVMe drive to the Pi 5. This one was simple to install and worked perfectly. The only downside is that it can not handle full length M.2 cards, but that's not a problem as long as you buy the correct sized NVMe SSD m.2 drive. My RPi5 now boots fast and apps launch fast. I am currently operating my Pi 5 with no SD card installed. I used the new network installer capability to install the OS to the SSD drive and worked easy as pi! As an aside, I accidentally broke the ribbon cable clip on the Pi 5 itself. I did some googling and found a suggestion to use cardboard from a cereal box to secure the ribbon cable. This work wonderfully. The ribbon cable clip on the Geekworm HAT was undamaged. Be sure to pay attention to which side of the ribbon and insert them properly.

*by D***B on 8 April 2024*

Tried with recommended M2 drive and would not detect drive. I suspect that the ribbon cable is faulty. I have a Pimoroni hat and it worked as expected with the same M2 drive. This cable problem seems to be frequent with these Geekworm Hats. I don't recommend the Geekworm Hats; get a Pimoroni or Pineberry instead.
