This is a bottom-mounted NVME M.2 SSD PCIe peripheral board for Raspberry Pi 5 which uses the new PCIe interface to utilise NVME M2 SSDs for fast data transfer and ultra-fast booting.
The board supports four sizes of NVMe SSD: 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 and includes an LED indicator for M.2 disk activity. The included SSD mounting screws make it convenient for users to switch between sizes at any time.
Some simple setup is required. Please see the Wiki for assembly and setup instructions .

NVME Compatibility Some customers have reported compatibility issues with certain brands/models of NVME drives with Raspberry Pi 5.
No 'official' compatibility list is maintained by 52Pi or Raspberry Pi (yet), so we suggest following the same compatibility list on the Pimoroni NVME Base page as a starting point until something official is shared.
Features
Designed for Raspberry Pi 5: Dedicated to the latest single-board computer, the Raspberry Pi 5.
NVMe Capability : Supports NVMe (M-key) drives in M.2 format sizes 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280
PCIe Support : PCIe x1 interface in both Gen2 & Gen3 standards
