The 52Pi N06 M.2 NVME SSD USB Adapter is a compact USB storage expansion board for Raspberry Pi 5. It allows direct connection of M.2 NVMe SSDs via a USB 3.0 interface, supporting 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 drive sizes - such as the Raspberry Pi SSD. Designed to mount underneath the Raspberry Pi, it keeps your setup clean with no need for extra cabling or system modifications. Unlike PCIe-based SSD solutions, this adapter uses USB 3.0 to handle both power and data over a single connection. While PCIe offers higher raw throughput, using USB offers key advantages for certain use cases - such as hot-swapping, simplified power management, or when running OS images from USB without altering the Pi’s PCIe setup. For many applications, the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 bandwidth is more than sufficient; however, if you're after PCIe speeds, check out our SSD HAT section for a great range of options to choose from. This board is plug-and-play with the Raspberry Pi 5 and doesn’t require additional drivers. It supports NVMe SSD capacities up to 4TB (depending on the drive used) and operates within a standard 0–70°C range. This adapter only supports NVMe protocol SSDs and is intended for use with the included USB converter only. Raspberry Pi and SSD not included.
