## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why can't my Raspberry Pi 5 detect or boot from the NVMe SSD?**
A: After several major version updates, the bootloader has basically solved the firmware issue, so the remaining is the OS configuration and SSD compatibility issues.

**Q: What is the maximum supported NVMe SSD capacity for the X1001?**
A: The X1001 hardware has no limit on NVME SSD capacity, which is dependent on the Raspberry Pi OS.

**Q: Can they support Gen3 PCIe speeds or only Gen2?**
A: All PIP boards (e.g., X1001, X1002, X1003) just extend the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe interface. PCIe Gen 3 support depends on both the Raspberry Pi 5 and the chip on the PIP board. Models such as X1004, X1011, and X1005 do not support Gen 3 speed.

**Q: Why is the SSD recognized but not bootable?**
A: A: The method of flashing OS to NVME SSD may be problematic. B: The SSD used may be incompatible. Please replace it with other brand SSD.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, inexpensive, easy to install, brilliant!
*by J***G on September 21, 2025*

Brilliant! Easy to install and it worked flawlessly. Fits within this GeeekPi Metal Case for Raspberry Pi 5 with Pi 5 Active Cooler, with plenty of room to spare: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CMZ84GM8For some reason two ribbon cables were included. They looked different from one another so perhaps one is just a spare.The board does not block the fan. The Pi is running as cool as it ever has.I am using this Patriot P300 M.2 PCIe Gen 3 x4 512GB Low-Power Consumption SSD: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082BJ4679I followed these instructions, don't know if Amazon allows links but if you search for "Booting Raspberry Pi 5 from NVMe SSD" you will find a simple four step procedure which is really only three steps because the fourth one is to reboot the Pi:1. format2. copy the system from SD card to the SSD3. configure the boot order4. that's it!There is an enormous speed improvement, as you can see in the pictures (before / after). Very inexpensive. Perhaps the most cost-effective improvement there is to a Raspberry Pi. Don't even think about it. Just buy it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pi 5 NVMe hate for SSD
*by M***R on September 4, 2025*

Got this NVMe for my Pi 5 project, switching from the microSD to the SSD and man what a huge difference using a SSD makes as for performance. Super easy to install and no issues. Fits the Pi 5 perfect and once I mounted the image, everything booted up with no issue. Compatible with most if not all SSD that use the M, BM key.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ is fast, is easy, is good.
*by X***S on March 12, 2025*

This NVME hat thing works well with my Pi5. It rightfully urges you to use the 27W Pi5 charger that can do 5a at 5v so don't overlook that. The obvious great thing about this mod is how much faster the Pi5 runs, loads, transfers etc. It really makes a difference, at least with the 8GB Pi5.Couple things to watch out for. If you are thinking this will fit in a case, it probably won't because of the chonk 5v input on top of the board. It sticks out higher than the rest of the board and prevents me from putting the lid back on my case by a micron. Also know that the LED indicator light flashes like a strobe light with a brightness equal to 1000 suns.
