## 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.

**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.
