Custom X1015 PCIe to M.2 Key-M NVMe SSD for Raspberry Pi 5

[Overview]

• The X1015 is a PCIe extension board designed for the Raspberry Pi 5. It adheres to the official Raspberry Pi reference schematic and has the same features as theofficial M.2 HAT+, so x1015 supports also Hailo AI acceleration module built around the Hailo-8L chip from Raspberry Pi AI Kit, guaranteeing ease of use and long-term support through updates to the Raspberry Pi OS. With its sleek and compact design, this shield allows for easy attachment of various M.2 SSD lengths (including 2280, 2260, 2242, and 2230) to your Raspberry Pi 5.

• Equipped with a PCIe 2.0/3.0 interface, the X1015 offers lightning-fast data transfer speeds of up to 8Gbps, enabling you to transfer large amounts of data within seconds. Its compatibility with the Raspberry Pi official passive cooler ensures optimal heat dissipation without compromising performance. The inclusion of mounting holes and standoffs provides added protection for your solid-disk drives while effectively dissipating heat.

• With the X1015, you no longer need to guess the reading or writing status of your SSD, as it features a built-in LED light that indicates the current activity. This makes it easier for you to monitor your SSD's performance.

• Whether you're looking to create a home media center or build a Network-attached storage (NAS) system for storing and streaming your own videos, music, and photos, the X1015 can serve as the perfect storage solution. Furthermore, it supports operating system booting from your SSD, resulting in faster application launches, web serving, and file copying.
