A PCIe add-on for Raspberry Pi 5 providing an M.2 slot for NVMe SSDs and a (secondary) Gigabit Ethernet network adapter!
This add-on board connects to your Raspberry Pi 5's PCIe interface and provides an M.2 slot for 2280 / 2260 / 2242 / 2230 NVMe SSDs (such as the Raspberry Pi SSD) and other M.2 devices, alongside a Gigabit Ethernet port/network card to use as a secondary network interface.
A Realtek RTL8111H high-performance Gigabit Ethernet chip provides the network interface, with the sunken-style RJ45 port sitting neatly next to the Ethernet port on your Pi 5.
A power monitoring chip has also been included in this board, allowing you to monitor the voltage, current draw and power consumption of your M.2 device via a terminal interface (scripts are provided on the Wiki). Onboard LED indicators highlight power status and M.2 activity.
The board installs on top of your Raspberry Pi 5, including passing through your GPIO pins via an included riser header to maintain full GPIO access.
Raspberry Pi and SSD not included.
