PCI-E NVME HAT for Raspberry Pi 5 Supports NVMe Protocol M.2 Interface Hard Drive Protocol Used as a Boot Drive or Additional Storage

A PCIe to M.2 M-Key adapter board designed for the Raspberry Pi 5, compatible with M.2 hard drives in 2230 / 2242 / 2280 form factors, supporting Gen2 and Gen3 modes, and enabling boot-up of the Pi 5 from an SSD.It supports M.2 interface hard drives with the NVMe protocol, featuring high-speed reading and writing as well as high work efficiency.It supports PCIe x1, along with Gen2 and Gen3 modes.The Raspberry Pi 5 has not passed Gen 3.0 speed certification, so connecting to PCIe devices at Gen3 speed may result in instability.Only compatible with the Pi 5B.The SSD can be used as a boot drive or additional storage; when used solely for storage expansion, the system boots from a TF card.It supports 2230/2242/2280 NVMe M.2 SSDs.It can be connected to the Pi 5 via an FFC cable, and the expansion board is powered directly from the FFC PCIe interface.The power circuit of the expansion board is designed for a 2A current. Restricted by the current limit of the Raspberry Pi 5's PCIe interface (5V 1A), it can provide an output of over 3.3V 1.5A to the solid-state drive.Typically, the rated current of a solid-state drive can be 2.5A, 2.7A, or even 3A, but these currents correspond to the maximum limit in x4 mode.Since the Raspberry Pi 5 only supports x1 mode, the actual current used is far lower than the rated current.It is equipped with an on-board power indicator light and a read-write ACT indicator light.It supports the installation of both official active coolers and third-party coolers.
