The Waveshare PCIe TO 2-CH M.2 HAT+ extends the capabilities of your Raspberry Pi 5 by providing high-speed storage expansion via its PCIe Gen2 x1 interface. This HAT+ supports two M.2 NVMe solid-state drives in common 2230 and 2242 form factors, allowing for significant improvements in data read/write performance for demanding applications. Its dedicated design ensures compatibility and reliable operation with the Raspberry Pi 5, integrating seamlessly through the HAT+ specification which includes an onboard EEPROM for automatic configuration. This adapter is an ideal solution for applications requiring fast, persistent storage beyond what microSD cards offer.
It includes essential features such as onboard indicator lights for power and activity, alongside a dedicated power monitoring chip that provides real-time status of the attached SSDs. While offering robust storage expansion, it is important to note that this HAT+ operates strictly in PCIe Gen2 mode and does not support booting the Raspberry Pi 5 directly from an attached NVMe SSD. This makes it suitable for secondary storage, data logging, or applications where the OS resides on a microSD card.
