The Geekworm X1004 PCIe to Dual 2280 NVMe SSD Shield is a high-performance storage expansion board designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5. This advanced NVMe shield allows users to connect two M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs directly to the Raspberry Pi 5 through the PCIe interface, significantly improving storage speed and capacity compared to traditional microSD cards.

Designed like a traditional Raspberry Pi HAT, the X1004 mounts neatly on top of the Raspberry Pi 5 while still providing access to the 40-pin GPIO header. This allows users to stack additional HAT modules and maintain full GPIO functionality. The shield supports up to 8TB total storage (4TB + 4TB), making it an excellent solution for high-performance applications such as AI processing, data logging, network storage servers, and large-scale software development projects.

The built-in ASMedia ASM1182e PCIe switch enables dual NVMe SSD support while maintaining stable data transfer speeds of up to PCIe 2.0 5Gbps. Integrated LED indicators display power and drive activity status, while high-efficiency DC/DC converters provide stable power to both SSDs. The board is also compatible with the official Raspberry Pi cooling system, ensuring efficient thermal performance for long-term operation.

X1004 supports the Hailo-8 AI accelerator module and allows booting from an NVMe SSD, making it a powerful upgrade for advanced Raspberry Pi 5 setups. (Note: This kit does not include the Raspberry Pi and NVMe SSD)
