N05 M.2 2242 PCIe to NVMe Top
Purchase Link
Description
N05 is an NVME M.2 SSD(NVMe 2230, 2242 GEN 3) PIP (PCIe Peripheral Board) for the Raspberry Pi 5 that uses the new PCIE interface of the Raspberry Pi 5 to utilize the NVME M2 SSDs for fast data transfers and ultra-fast booting.
N05 is compatible with the standard HAT size of Raspberry Pi and supports two sizes of NVMe SSD: 2230 and 2242. The included SSD mounting screws make it convenient for users to switch between the two sizes at any time.
Features
- Designed for RPI 5: Dedicated to the latest single-board computer, the Raspberry Pi 5.
- NVMe Capability: Supports installing NVMe (M-key) drives in M.2 format sizes 2230 and 2242, extra custom CNC SSD mount screw, no soldering required.
- PCIe Support: PCIe x1 interface in both Gen2 & Gen3 standards.
- Hollow design: Hollow design provides excellent ventilation airflow for cooling.
- Gold-plated PCB: Gold-plated PCBs offer superior electrical performance.
- PCIe ultra-short signal lines:The short trace routing of PCIe is more reliable and faster, fully meeting the signal requirements of PCIe 3.0.
- LED Indicators: Features LED light for M.2 disk activity (“ACT”).
- Compatible Form Factor:Board format is compatible with the original Raspberry Pi HAT dimensions of 65 x 56.50 mm.
- M.2 Standard-Compliant Power System: Integrated voltage regulator delivering up to 3A for the 3.3V power rail, compliant with M.2 (NGFF) standard.
- All Necessary Accessories Included: Comes with a FPC PCIe ribbon, M2 and M2.5 screws, spacers, and extra custom CNC SSD mount screw.
- Camera/Display fpc cutout: The openings in the PCB allow for the routing of two Display/Camera FPC cables.

How to enable PCIe on Raspberry Pi 5?
- Modify /boot/firmware/config.txt and adding following parameters:
dtparam=pciex1
And the connection is certified for Gen 2.0 speed (5 GT/sec), but you can force it to Gen 3.0 (10 GT/sec) if you add the following line after:
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3
You can run devices at PCIe Gen 3.0 speeds if you test and they run stable.
- Enable auto detection PCIe and booting from NVME.
sudo rpi-eeprom-config --edit
Adding following parts:
PCIE_PROBE=1 BOOT_ORDER=0xf416
The 6 means to enable booting from nvme. Reboot Raspberry Pi 5 and try to use `lsblk` or `lspci -vvv` to get more details of the PCIe device.
