SupTronics X1500 Dual NVMe IO Board for CM5

The SupTronics X1500 Dual NVMe IO Board for Raspberry Pi CM5 features dual M.2 2280 NVMe slots, dual HDMI, dual USB 3.2 Gen1, Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+, microSD slot, CSI/DSI, GPIO header and more - all in an 87×87mm layout.

The SupTronics X1500 Dual NVMe IO Board is a purpose-built IO board for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5). It features two M.2 NVMe slots for 2280 or 2260-format devices such as SSDs, and integrates a variety of peripherals into an ultra-compact design - including dual full-size HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+ support (separate HAT required for PoE), Dual USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, Dual 22-pin CSI/DSI ports, MicroSD slot, GPIO header and more. This carrier board has been designed to support system development, allowing you to rapidly assemble solutions using readily available off-the-shelf components, such as existing Raspberry Pi HATs and M.2 NVMe devices. For ease of integration, the board features a sensible layout with major user connectors positioned along one edge, making enclosure design straightforward and efficient. For optimal performance, please use the official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply, or the 45W version. SSDs, CM5 and heatsink not included Features
