PCIe M.2 Adapter Board (D) for Raspberry Pi 5

This PCIe M.2 add-on board for Raspberry Pi 5 allows you to run fast M.2 NVMe SSDs via the Pi 5's PCIe interface, mounting on top of your Raspberry Pi without blocking or consuming any GPIO pins.

The unique design of this M.2 add-on includes a central cut-out to ensure any installed Active Cooler gets the airflow it requires, something often overlooked by alternative solutions.

The board is compatible with 2230 / 2242 / 2260 / 2280 format M.2 NVMe SSDs, supporting PCIe X1 Gen2 or Gen3 modes. Onboard LED indicators highlight power status and M.2 activity.

A 2-pin PH2.0 header also gives you the option to provide additional power to the SSD from your GPIO pins using the included cable, in case your SSD is high-capacity and requires additional current.
