A PCIe adapter board for the Raspberry Pi 5 that supports up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs simultaneously. Connect via the Pi 5's PCIe interface using the included 16-pin cable and gain dramatically faster storage for NAS builds, data processing, and boot-from-SSD setups.
The board includes an on-board wide-voltage DC jack (7–24V) that can power your Raspberry Pi 5 via a 3-pin cable at up to 5V/5A, eliminating the need for a separate Pi power supply. Alternatively, the adapter can be powered directly from the Pi 5.
Key Features
- Quad SSD Support – Connect up to 4× M.2 NVMe SSDs (2280, 2260, 2242, 2230)
- Interface – PCIe to M.2 M-Key (PCIe x1 Gen2)
- Power Input – On-board DC jack (7–24V) powers Pi 5 via 3-pin cable (up to 5V/5A)
- Boot Support – Boot Raspberry Pi 5 directly from NVMe SSD
- LED Indicators – Per-SSD status LEDs for monitoring
- Weight – 66g
Ideal For
- Raspberry Pi 5 NAS and RAID storage builds
- Multi-drive data processing and backup systems
- High-performance boot and storage upgrades
Package Contents
- 1× PCIe to 4-Channel NVMe Adapter Board
- 1× PH2.0 3-Pin Power Cable
- 1× 16-Pin FPC Cable (40mm)
- 1× Screw Pack
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- FPC
- FPC stands for flexible printed circuit, a flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight. It matters because this breakout needs the correct pin count and pitch FPC cable to connect reliably to the display or high-speed interface.
- 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.
