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

With the PCIe to M.2 Adapter Board for the Raspberry Pi 5, you can significantly boost your system's performance by connecting an NVMe M.2 SSD. This adapter board supports M.2 SSDs in the formats 2280, 2260, 2242, and 2230, which follow the NVMe protocol. It allows a data transfer rate of up to 8Gbps, making reading and writing much faster compared to the traditional TF card slot. The board connects directly via the 16PIN PCIe interface of the Raspberry Pi 5 and can even let the Pi boot from the NVMe SSD. The high-quality anti-oxidation coating makes the board particularly durable and reliable. Two power options allow you flexible power supply either via the PCIe cable or a 3-PIN cable. With the integrated LED indicators, you can always keep an eye on the operational status.
