PCIe to M.2 HAT SSD Adapter for Raspberry Pi 5

Discover the PCIe to M.2 HAT SSD Adapter, specifically designed for your Raspberry Pi 5. This powerful adapter board supports the NVMe protocol and enables extremely fast read and write speeds, ideal for high-performance applications. The adapter fits M.2 solid state drives of sizes 2230 and 2242 and provides support for Gen2 as well as Gen3 mode. The connection is simple via a 16-pin cable, based on the 16-pin PCIe interface of the Raspberry Pi 5. Additionally, two LED indicators are present on the board that clearly display the operational status. A specially reserved air flow opening for the Pi5 fan ensures improved cooling. The installation is uncomplicated and the board comes with an EEPROM chip for added functionality.
