Research your SSD selection carefully. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as expected - standoffs don't fit with heatsink *by M***E on January 4, 2025* Works great w/ PCIE Gen3 M2 drive. Just a note: standoffs won't fit with my heatsink and still have enough room for airflow, but easy to find another screw. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well once you figure out the orientation *by M***Z on November 17, 2024* These do not come with a marker to show you the correct orientation despite the picture. There's a misleading mark on the board that actually leads you into believing that inserting the cable backwards is the correct way. The item is not as pictured because it's missing the arrow indicating proper orientation!I like the cutout for the fan and mounting is very solid. I can boot my Pi 5 without a problem... even a pre-packaged image from a vendor boots without a problem. I flashed the drive in a USB NVMe enclosure with Windows Raspberry Pi Imager, and then moved it to the Pi and it booted instantly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Waveshare PCIe to M.2 Adapter for Raspberry Pi 5, Supports NVMe Protocol M.2 Solid State Drive, High-Speed Reading/Writing, HAT + Standard - Samsung SSD 256GB PM991 M.2 2242 42mm PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe MZALQ256HAJD MZ-ALQ2560 Solid State Drive - Geekworm X1001 PCIe to M.2 HAT Key-M NVMe SSD PIP PCIe Peripheral Board for Raspberry Pi 5 Support M.2 2230/2242/2260/2280 SSD --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/601609430-waveshare-pcie-to-m-2-adapter-for-raspberry-pi-5](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/601609430-waveshare-pcie-to-m-2-adapter-for-raspberry-pi-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
