This mini M.2 adapter for Raspberry Pi 5 is a compact way to add a PCIe M.2 slot to your Pi 5, supporting 2230 and 2242 format M.2 devices such as NVMe SSDs,Gen2 and Gen3 modes, and booting from SSD.

Its small size keeps it out of the way of cooling devices such as the Raspberry Pi Active Cooler when fitted, and only partially consumes the GPIO header. Onboard LED indicators highlight power status and M.2 activity.

The adapter comes with a PCIe cable, GPIO extender header and the necessary fixings to mount it to your Raspberry Pi 5.
