M.2 NVMe SSD USB Adapter for Raspberry Pi 5

This USB 3.0 adapter connects M.2 NVMe solid-state drives in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 sizes to a Raspberry Pi 5. It draws power and transfers data through a single USB 3.0 link. The board mounts on the underside of the Pi 5 for a compact, integrated setup. No drivers or system changes are required for operation.

Makers expanding Pi 5 storage with NVMe drives

Builders who want fast, plug-and-play NVMe storage on a Raspberry Pi 5 will find this adapter suitable. It supports four common M.2 lengths and uses the Pi 5 USB 3.0 port for both power and data. Users needing boot-from-NVMe without USB, PCIe-gen-4 throughput, or compatibility with boards other than the Pi 5 should consider alternative solutions.

Single USB 3.0 connection for power and data

The adapter communicates with the Raspberry Pi 5 over one USB 3.0 interface that supplies power and carries all data traffic. This means performance is bounded by USB 3.0 bandwidth rather than a native PCIe lane. The design prioritises simple installation and broad M.2 NVMe size support over maximum theoretical throughput.

Questions about this item

What real-world speed can I expect from the USB 3.0 link when an NVME drive is attached?

The adapter uses a single USB 3.0 connection for both power and data, so throughput is limited to the USB 3.0 bus rather than the drive’s native NVME potential.

Does the USB 3.0 interface also supply enough power for every supported drive size?

Yes, the single USB 3.0 cable carries both power and data, and the board is designed to run 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 modules without an external supply.

How does the adapter physically attach to the Raspberry Pi 5?

It mounts on the underside of the Pi 5 board, aligning with the mounting holes for a tidy, integrated fit.
