Description
Geekworm’s X1011 is a 4-drive M.2 NVMe SSD carrier which uses an ASmedia PCIe Gen 2 switch to bridge four NVMe drives to a Raspberry Pi 5.
It looks like it includes some Pogo pins to provide power to (or leech power from) the Pi 5’s USB-C supply input. It has a warning to not plug in both the 5V barrel plug and Pi 5 USB-C power input at the same time (and it may not have any safety in place to prevent a short circuit if you do!).
It supports M.2 drives in 2230/2242/2260/2280 lengths, and does not support NVMe boot (because of the switch), at least not until Raspberry Pi resolves the issue Can’t boot Pi 5 via NVMe behind PCIe switch / bridge.
