PCIe to 4-Channel M.2 NVMe SSD Adapter Board for Raspberry Pi 5

The PCIe to 4-Channel M.2 NVMe SSD Adapter Board for Raspberry Pi 5 by Waveshare is a powerful expansion designed for those looking to elevate their Raspberry Pi 5’s storage capacity and data speed. Supporting up to four NVMe M.2 SSDs, this HAT delivers high-speed PCIe Gen2 connectivity, flexible SSD management, and even allows for direct power supply to the Raspberry Pi. Ideal for server projects, data logging, media storage, and any application where performance is key.

Main Features:

• Quad NVMe Expansion: Supports up to 4 NVMe M.2 SSDs (sizes: 2280 / 2260 / 2242 / 2230), perfect for increasing storage and system speed.
• High-Speed Data Transfer: PCIe Gen2 (PCIe 2.0 x1) interface ensures significantly faster read/write speeds compared to the Raspberry Pi 5’s microSD slot.
• Boot from SSD: Allows direct booting of the Raspberry Pi 5 from an NVMe SSD for improved system performance and stability.
• Flexible Power Options: Features a built-in DC jack (7–24V) and 3-pin cable for direct power delivery to the Pi 5 (up to 5V/5A), or can be powered by the Pi itself.
• User-Friendly Design: Onboard LED indicators display the operating status, and the board connects easily via a 16-pin FFC cable.
• Stackable Layout: Enables modular and space-saving expansions.
