The Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ allows you to connect M.2 peripherals, such as NVMe drives and AI accelerators, to the Raspberry Pi 5's PCIe 2.0 interface. Experience fast data transfers of up to 500 MB/s, ensuring efficient communication with NVMe drives and other PCIe accessories. The Raspberry Pi 5 features a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface, accessible through a 16-pin, 0.5mm pitch FPC connector. The M.2 HAT+ M Key is a mechanical adapter that converts this connector to a subset of the M.2 standard, supporting M.2 M key edge connector devices in the 2230 and 2242 form factors. It can supply up to 3A to connected M.2 devices, ensuring robust performance. The Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ conforms to the HAT+ specification and is automatically detected by the latest Raspberry Pi software and firmware. It comes with a 16mm stacking header and threaded spacers, allowing it to be fitted to a Raspberry Pi 5 even with the Active Cooler in place.
