Description:
Enhance your Raspberry Pi 5's storage capabilities with the X1003 PCIe to NVMe adapter. This compact board allows you to add a high-speed NVMe SSD to your Pi 5 while maintaining compatibility with the official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler and ABS case. Designed for small-form-factor NVMe drives, it supports both 2230 and 2242 sizes. Note: Installing the X1003 requires removing the fan layer from the top of the official case.

- Not compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, or other M.2 non-NVMe devices
- Older NVMe drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives
- New NVMe SSDs are not partitioned and will need to be both partitioned and formatted when first connected to the Raspberry Pi before they will be accessed in the Explorer.
Package Included:
1 x Raspberry Pi 5 M.2 NVMe SSD Adapter X1003
