Wave PCIE to M.2 Expansion Board
The PCIe to M.2 Expansion Board is designed for the Raspberry Pi 5, providing high-speed storage expansion with support for NVMe protocol M.2 SSDs in 2230 and 2242 sizes. It enables fast read and write operations with Gen2 and Gen3 PCIe modes, improving overall system performance. The board includes an efficient cooling solution with a mini, compact heatsink and a built-in fan to ensure optimal thermal management. Onboard power and activity indicators provide real-time status updates during operation.

This adapter board supports booting the Raspberry Pi 5 from an NVMe SSD, though additional modifications are required for enabling NVMe startup by default. With its compact design and integrated cooling system, it offers a reliable solution for users looking to enhance the storage capabilities of their Raspberry Pi 5.
