52Pi N05 M.2 2242 PCIe NVMe Extension Board for Raspberry Pi 5
Rapid NVMe SSD support
Easy no-solder setup
Efficient cooling design
LED activity indicators
The 52Pi N05 M.2 2242 PCIe NVMe Extension Board for Raspberry Pi 5 is a specialized peripheral designed to enhance the capabilities of the latest Raspberry Pi 5 by leveraging the new PCIe interface. This extension board allows for the installation of NVMe M.2 SSDs, enabling rapid data transfer rates and ultra-fast boot times. It is tailored to fit the standard HAT dimensions of the Raspberry Pi and accommodates two sizes of NVMe SSDs: 2230 and 2242. The inclusion of SSD mounting screws facilitates the ease of switching between these two sizes.
This product is specifically engineered for the Raspberry Pi 5, ensuring seamless compatibility. It supports the installation of NVMe (M-key) drives without the need for soldering, thanks to the extra custom CNC SSD mount screw. The PCIe x1 interface is compatible with both Gen2 and Gen3 standards, ensuring a broad range of operational flexibility. The boards hollow design not only complements its aesthetic but also serves a practical purpose by providing excellent ventilation and airflow for cooling. Superior electrical performance is guaranteed by the use of gold-plated PCBs, which also feature ultra-short signal lines for reliable and fast PCIe 3.0 signal requirements. Additionally, the board is equipped with LED indicators to monitor M.2 disk activity.
The board adheres to the original Raspberry Pi HAT dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit with existing setups. It also includes an integrated voltage regulator capable of delivering up to 3A for the 3.3V power rail, in compliance with the M.2 (NGFF) standard. To further enhance its functionality, the PCB has been designed with cutouts to facilitate the routing of Display/Camera FPC cables.
Please note that the use of this product requires adherence to the appropriate handling and installation procedures to prevent damage to the device or associated components.

A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
The RA number must be included with the return.
Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
