MCDODO N06 M.2 NVME SSD USB Adapter for Raspberry Pi 5

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.
