Green circuit board with two M.2 slots and GPIO header

LORDWORLD

LORDWORLD PCIe to 2-ch M.2 Adapter for Raspberry Pi 5 2230 2242

SKU CH-C8TF-KXMRZ

Adds two M.2 NVMe SSD slots in 2230 and 2242 sizes to a Raspberry Pi 5 over a single PCIe Gen2 lane with power monitoring and activity LEDs

  • Adds two M.2 NVMe slots to Raspberry Pi 5
  • Supports 2230 and 2242 form-factor SSDs
  • PCIe Gen2 x1 link for fast data transfers
  • Power LED and activity LED show drive status
  • Onboard monitoring chip tracks SSD health in real time

Two-channel M.2 adapter for Raspberry Pi 5

This HAT+ board adds two M.2 slots to a Raspberry Pi 5, accepting 2230 and 2242 NVMe SSDs. It connects through the PCIe x1 Gen2 interface and includes an onboard EEPROM chip for HAT+ identification. Status LEDs show power and drive activity while a monitoring chip tracks SSD health. The adapter does not support booting from an NVMe drive.

Fits Pi 5 builds needing fast local storage

The adapter mounts directly on the Pi 5 GPIO header and requires no extra cables or external power beyond what the board supplies. Two slots let you run separate OS and data drives or mirror storage for redundancy. Because boot from NVMe is not supported, a microSD card or USB device is still required for the initial bootloader.

Replaces single-drive USB enclosures

Builders who hit the speed or endurance limits of microSD cards gain NVMe throughput without occupying a USB port. The dual-slot design suits logging, caching or database workloads that benefit from separating read and write paths. Users who need boot-from-NVMe or more than two drives must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the PCIe x1 Gen 2 link become the bottleneck during sustained NVMe transfers?

Yes, the adapter runs at PCIe x1 Gen 2 speed, so the single-lane Gen 2 bandwidth caps continuous NVMe throughput.

How warm does the board get and is there any active cooling when running all day?

The HAT+ has no fan or heatsink; sustained loads rely on the Raspberry Pi 5 case airflow to keep temperatures acceptable.

Which Raspberry Pi model and HAT standard must I already own for this adapter to work?

You need a Raspberry Pi 5 with the HAT+ mounting holes and EEPROM support built into the board.
