Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+

If your Raspberry Pi 5 is hungry for faster storage or some extra AI horsepower, the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ is the adapter that makes it happen. It bridges the Pi 5’s single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface to standard M.2 M-key devices—think NVMe SSDs, AI accelerators, and other PCIe-powered upgrades—unlocking transfer speeds up to 500 MB/s. Not bad for a board that fits in your pocket.

Technical Details:

• Supports single-lane PCIe 2.0 (up to 500 MB/s peak)
• Compatible with M.2 M-key devices
• Supported form factors: Standard: 2230, 2242
• Provides up to 3A to connected M.2 devices
• Power and activity LEDs onboard
• Fully compliant with the Raspberry Pi HAT+ standard
• Standard M.2 HAT+ ships with a 16 mm stacking header and threaded spacers so it can sit happily above a Pi 5 even with the Active Cooler installed.
• Includes ribbon cable, screws, threaded spacers, stacking header (Standard only), and mounting hardware for M.2 drives
