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. **Q: What power supply is required for X1001?** A: The X1001 is powered directly through the PCIe FFC ribbon cable. For stable operation, use the Raspberry Pi 5 PD 27W USB-C Power Supply (5.1V/5A). Note: Standard phone chargers will not provide sufficient power for NVMe SSDs. ## Frequently Bought Together - Geekworm X1001 PCIe to M.2 HAT Key-M NVMe SSD PIP PCIe Peripheral Board for Raspberry Pi 5 Support M.2 2230/2242/2260/2280 SSD - Raspberry Pi 5 8GB - Geekworm Active Cooler H505 for Raspberry Pi 5, Aluminum Heatsink with Blower PWM Fan --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/650917956-x1001-pcie-to-m-2-hat-key-m-nvme-ssd](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/650917956-x1001-pcie-to-m-2-hat-key-m-nvme-ssd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
