M.2 HAT for Raspberry Pi 5

The MCDODO X1004Support is a PCIe to dual M.2 HAT that adds two NVMe SSD slots to a Raspberry Pi 5. It fits the 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB board variants. Two dedicated DC/DC converters supply 3.3V at up to 3.5A to each drive for stable operation. The package includes the expansion board and an accessory pack.

Makers expanding Pi 5 storage

This HAT suits builders who want to run the operating system or heavy workloads from fast NVMe storage on a Pi 5. It accepts 2280-length drives and shorter 2230 or 2242 modules with an extender. Builders using a case other than the P579-V2, V3 or V4, or those needing a single-drive solution, should look at something else.

Dual NVMe slots with independent power

The deciding specification is the pair of M.2 Key-M slots fed by separate 3.3V step-down converters rated for 3.5A each. This architecture lets two SSDs run at full speed simultaneously without sharing a single power budget. Boot support requires the Pi 5 bootloader dated 2024-05-17 or later.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?

The pack includes the X1004 expansion board and an accessory kit. You must provide a Raspberry Pi 5, one or two M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs, a power adapter and any active cooler or AI module you need.

Which Raspberry Pi 5 memory versions work with this HAT?

The board is compatible with every Raspberry Pi 5 variant — 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB and 16 GB — so choose the memory size that matches your workload.

What does the dual 3.3 V 3.5 A power rating mean for my SSDs?

Each M.2 slot gets its own DC/DC converter delivering up to 3.5 A, so both drives can run at full speed simultaneously without power throttling.
