Green PCB with M.2 slot and status LEDs for Raspberry Pi 5

LORDWORLD

LORDWORLD PCIe to M.2 Adapter Board (C) for Raspberry Pi 5 2230 2242 2260 2280

SKU CH-TNFE-QC18R

Adds NVMe M.2 storage to a Raspberry Pi 5 with PCIe Gen2 or Gen3 speeds and supports 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 drive lengths

  • Adds high-speed NVMe storage to Raspberry Pi 5
  • Works with M.2 drives in 2230 2242 2260 2280 sizes
  • Operates in PCIe Gen2 or Gen3 mode
  • Power and activity LEDs show drive status at a glance
  • Designed exclusively for Raspberry Pi 5 compatibility

Purpose & Audience

This PCIe to M.2 adapter board connects NVMe solid-state drives to a Raspberry Pi 5. It accepts 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 form-factor drives and operates in PCIe Gen2 or Gen3 mode. Makers and developers who need faster local storage for edge-computing projects will find it useful.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Verify that your single-board computer is a Raspberry Pi 5, because the adapter only supports that model. Confirm the M.2 drive you plan to use follows the NVMe protocol and matches one of the listed lengths. Ensure the PCIe interface on the Pi is free and configured for the appropriate generation before fitting the board.

Sustained-Load Behaviour

An onboard power indicator lights when the board receives power, while an activity LED blinks continuously during read and write operations. The visual feedback lets you monitor drive health during long data transfers or continuous logging tasks without relying on software tools alone.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy an M.2 NVMe SSD separately?

The adapter board is included; you must supply your own M.2 NVMe SSD in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 size.

Which M.2 length should I choose for the Raspberry Pi 5?

All four lengths 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 fit the board; pick the one that matches your SSD and the space inside your case.

What does the PCIe Gen2 or Gen3 support mean for real transfer speed on a Pi 5?

The Pi 5 provides a single PCIe 2.0 lane, so the drive runs at Gen2 speeds even though the adapter also supports Gen3.
