X1012 POE + PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD Expansion Board for RPi 5 — Supports 2230/2242/2260/2280

The X1012 is an NVMe + POE expansion board built for the RPi 5, providing stable power delivery and expanded storage via a PCIe M.2 slot. It accepts NVMe M.2 SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. You can configure the RPi to boot from an installed SSD, delivering faster system startup, quicker application launches and improved file transfer speeds. New NVMe drives come without partitions and must be partitioned and formatted from the RPi the first time they are connected before they will appear in file explorers. POE (Power Over Ethernet) capability enables power to be supplied to the RPi and base networking devices over the Ethernet cable while simultaneously transmitting data, without altering standard Ethernet wiring. Support for multiple M.2 sizes makes the board adaptable to varying storage needs.
