Add fast M.2 storage to a Raspberry Pi 5 while keeping everything neatly inside the Official Raspberry Pi 5 Case. This compact HAT+ uses the Pi 5’s PCIe 2.0 lane to connect a 2230 M-key SSD without extra cables.
It is purpose-built for the Official Raspberry Pi 5 Case in Red/White or Black/Grey, and works with the case’s built-in fan. It supplies up to 3A to the drive, includes power and activity LEDs, and is auto-detected by the latest Raspberry Pi OS.
The kit includes the FPC cable, standoffs, and screws needed for installation. It is not compatible with the Active Cooler, and M.2 2230 SSD drives are sold separately.
Features:
- Fast Transfers: PCIe 2.0 interface with up to ~450 MB/s peak speeds
- Perfect Fit: Designed specifically for the Official Raspberry Pi 5 Case (Red/White or Black/Grey)
- Compact + Powerful: Supports 2230 M-key SSDs with up to 3A power delivery
- Plug-and-Play: Auto-detected by the latest Raspberry Pi OS
- Visual Feedback: Built-in power and activity LEDs
- Ready to Install: Includes FPC cable, standoffs, and screws
Ideal for Pi 5 users who want faster SSD storage in the Official Case, compact high-speed storage for projects, or an alternative to microSD cards for improved reliability and performance.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- FPC
- FPC stands for flexible printed circuit, a thin flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight or some movement is needed, commonly for displays, cameras and other high-density connections. Connecting to an FPC connector generally needs a matching cable with the correct pin count, pitch and contact orientation.
- M.2
- M.2 is a compact edge-connector standard for plugging small modules - such as SSDs, wireless cards or microcontroller modules - into a host board without soldering. The same slot shape can carry different interfaces (for example PCIe, SATA or USB), so keying and the supported module type need to be checked.
