Now is the time to exploit the new PCIe slot on your Raspberry Pi 5,
and enjoy high-speed NVMe SSD storage!
- Easily add high-speed storage to your Raspberry Pi 5 board
- Provides PCIe 3.0 speeds enabling transfer rates of up to 800 MB/s
- Compatible with M.2 sizes 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280
- Easy connection via PCIe FFC connector to Raspberry Pi
What is the main advantage of using an NVMe drive? MicroSD cards have a relatively low limit of 80MB/s, whereas using an NVMe drive offers ten times the performance, allowing transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s.
