TheSuptronicsX1015is an SSD expansion board forRaspberry Pi 5, allowing you to attach full-size 2280-format M.2 NVMe drives (as well as 2260, 2242, and 2230),via the PCIe 2.0/3.0 interface. It supports data transfer rates of up to 8Gbps.
Designed to mount on top of the Raspberry Pi 5, it features apass-through 40-pin header for continued GPIO accessand supports use with other HATs. The cut-away form factor is compatible with theRaspberry Pi Active Cooler.
Mounting holes and theincluded standoffshelp secure the board to your Raspberry Pi 5. Built-in LEDindicators show power and read/write drive activity.
You can boot directly from an SSD, improving application load times, file transfer speeds, and performance in tasks like web serving or building a local media server or NAS.

As with all M.2 NVMe adapters for Raspberry Pi 5, certain models of M.2 NVMe SSD (usually with a Phison controller) are best avoided due to compatibility issues.
The following models have been highlighted by SupTronics as having poor compatibility, however other online resources will highlight further models/brands to avoid:
