· MPN: 31436
Unleash the true potential of your Raspberry Pi 5 with our cutting-edge PCIe to USB 3.2 Gen1 and M.2 HAT - the ultimate expansion device for tech enthusiasts...
- NVMe Protocol Support: Specially designed for the NVMe protocol solid-state drives, the HAT accommodates various M.2 SSD sizes (2230/2242/2260/2280). Benefit from lightning-quick data transfer speeds that leave traditional TF card slots in the dust.
- Expandable USB 3.2 Ports: Our HAT doesn't stop at storage solutions. It extends your Raspberry Pi's capabilities with four additional high-speed USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, allowing you to connect a wide range of peripheral devices effortlessly.
- Plug and Play: Installation is a breeze. You don't need to fiddle with drivers—just plug it in, and it's ready to roll. Turn your Raspberry Pi 5 into a versatile workstation or a powerful media center with minimal setup time.
- Built for Raspberry Pi 5: Tailored for the Raspberry Pi 5, our HAT connects via a 16-pin cable to the Pi's own PCIe interface, ensuring a snug and reliable fit.
- High-Speed Reading/Writing: Experience enhanced system and file reading/writing efficiency with our HAT. It can also support booting your Raspberry Pi 5 directly from an NVMe solid-state drive.
- Intuitive LED Indicators: Dual onboard LED indicators provide instant visual feedback on the working status of your device, simplifying diagnostics and monitoring.
- Advanced Power Monitoring: With an integrated power monitoring chip and EEPROM, our HAT ensures stable operation with real-time power status tracking.
- To install, simply attach the thermal tapes, mount the Official Active Cooler, and secure the HAT to your Raspberry Pi setup. Even though it's easy, make sure to refer to the package content for a detailed parts list and step-by-step instructions.
- Compact and Convenient: We've opted for a design that's not just robust but also sleek, ensuring that your Raspberry Pi 5 doesn't get bulked up by unnecessary weight or size.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- EEPROM
- A type of non-volatile memory that keeps stored data even when power is turned off. In a sensor module, it can be used to store settings or calibration data so they do not need to be re-entered every time.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- M.2
- A compact edge-connector format commonly used to plug small modules into a carrier board without soldering. On this product it is the physical connector used by the MicroMod system, so compatibility with the matching processor board is important.
- NVMe
- A high-speed storage standard commonly used by modern SSDs. NVMe support matters if you want faster storage for large AI models, video files or operating system images than a typical microSD card can provide.
