Overview

The X1012 NVMe+POE shield is specifically designed to offer a reliable power source and enhance storage capabilities for the Raspberry Pi 5.

POE (Power Over Ethernet) refers to the ability to provide DC power for IP-based network devices while transmitting data signals at the same time without affecting the standard Ethernet cabling infrastructure.

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. It supports booting the operating system from your SSD, leading to quicker application launches, web serving, and file copying.

Matching Case: You can use the P579-V2, but the P579-V2 doesn't have a jack reserved for DC power for the X1012, but the POE power supply is sufficient, and the DC power supply is just a power supply aid, not a necessity.
