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. For more information, please check our wiki wiki.52pi.com/index.php?title=EP-0210 How to assemble Please assemble according to the following illustration. Turn off the Raspberry Pi 5 and remove the USB C power connection from the Pi. We need to make sure the power is cut off.Gently lift the plastic case of the PCIe connector to unlock it and insert the flexible flat cable so that the golden ''teeth'' are facing the USB/Ethernet ports. Setting up an NVMe SSD on the Raspberry Pi 5Gently press the plastic connector housing so that the cable is locked in place. .Insert your NVV disk Me with Raspberry Pi OS in the NVMe board and secure it in place.Check all connections are correct, then power on the Raspberry Pi 5. Review: Great - Easy to fit and use. A little technical to switch over to booting from nvme, but once done, it's a breeze. Review: Research your NVME drive - This is a very good product and works exactly as described. However be careful with your SSD. I thought the board was faulty as had zero lights or activity but after swapping out multi ssd it finally sprung to life and was recognised. Western digital drives didn’t work. In the end a 1tb firecuda one did and you will know because the led on the board starts to show activity on a pi boot. It would be good to see a compatibility list for known drives with the instructions and possible ways to show that hardware does indeed exist without a drive connected. ## Features - N04 M.2 NVMe to PCIe Adapter is designed for the latest Raspberry Pi 5. It supports the installation of NVMe (M-key) drives in M.2 format sizes 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280. Extra custom CNC SSD mount screw, no soldering required. - PCIe x1 interface in both Gen2 & Gen3 standards. The short trace routing of PCIe is more reliable and faster, fully meeting the signal requirements of PCIe 3.0. - Ventilation hole design provides excellent ventilation airflow for cooling; Integrated voltage regulator delivering up to 3A for the 3.3V power rail, compliant with M.2 (NGFF) standard. - Comes with a FPC PCIe ribbon, M2 and M2.5 screws, spacers, and extra custom CNC SSD mount screw. - Matching Case (NOT included) --- Metal Case for N04 & Raspberry Pi 5, refer to ASIN: B0CMZG29LG; Aluminum Case for N04 & Raspberry Pi 5,refer to ASIN: B0CMZCG8P7 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CTLX5MW5 | | Best Sellers Rank | 46,281 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 58 in Single-Board Computer Kits | | Box Contents | FPC PCIe ribbon, M2 and M2.5 screws, spacers, extra custom CNC SSD mount screw, and SSD mounting screws | | Brand | GeeekPi | | Brand Name | GeeekPi | | Compatible Devices | Raspberry Pi 5 | | Connectivity technology | PCIe | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 365 Reviews | | Included components | FPC PCIe ribbon, M2 and M2.5 screws, spacers, extra custom CNC SSD mount screw, and SSD mounting screws Included components FPC PCIe ribbon, M2 and M2.5 screws, spacers, extra custom CNC SSD mount screw, and SSD mounting screws See more | | Item Weight | 0.06 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | GeeekPi | | Manufacturer Part Number | N04 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 250 GB | | Memory storage capacity | 250 GB | | Model Name | GeeekPi N04 | | Model Number | N04 | | Model name | GeeekPi N04 | | Network Connectivity Technology | PCIe | | Operating System | Linux | | Operating system | Linux | | Processor Brand | Broadcom | | Processor Count | 1 | | Product Warranty | 180 days manufacturer | | RAM Memory Technology | LPDDR4 | | Total USB Ports | 2 | | Wireless Compability | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Brand:** GeeekPi - **Connectivity technology:** PCIe - **Memory storage capacity:** 250 GB - **Model name:** GeeekPi N04 ## Images ![N04 M.2 M-Key NVMe SSD Shield for Raspberry Pi 5, M.2 2280 PCIe to NVMe SSD Shield Pip PCIe Peripheral Board Top for Raspberry Pi 5 4GB/8GB/16GB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71744yluKwL.jpg) ![N04 M.2 M-Key NVMe SSD Shield for Raspberry Pi 5, M.2 2280 PCIe to NVMe SSD Shield Pip PCIe Peripheral Board Top for Raspberry Pi 5 4GB/8GB/16GB - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZoDMcjEHL.jpg) ![N04 M.2 M-Key NVMe SSD Shield for Raspberry Pi 5, M.2 2280 PCIe to NVMe SSD Shield Pip PCIe Peripheral Board Top for Raspberry Pi 5 4GB/8GB/16GB - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ry925vsPL.jpg) ![N04 M.2 M-Key NVMe SSD Shield for Raspberry Pi 5, M.2 2280 PCIe to NVMe SSD Shield Pip PCIe Peripheral Board Top for Raspberry Pi 5 4GB/8GB/16GB - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71i4DGp8R8L.jpg) ![N04 M.2 M-Key NVMe SSD Shield for Raspberry Pi 5, M.2 2280 PCIe to NVMe SSD Shield Pip PCIe Peripheral Board Top for Raspberry Pi 5 4GB/8GB/16GB - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O-v6uGC0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by A***N on 4 February 2025* Easy to fit and use. A little technical to switch over to booting from nvme, but once done, it's a breeze. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Research your NVME drive *by L***S on 20 May 2024* This is a very good product and works exactly as described. However be careful with your SSD. I thought the board was faulty as had zero lights or activity but after swapping out multi ssd it finally sprung to life and was recognised. Western digital drives didn’t work. In the end a 1tb firecuda one did and you will know because the led on the board starts to show activity on a pi boot. It would be good to see a compatibility list for known drives with the instructions and possible ways to show that hardware does indeed exist without a drive connected. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well *by J***R on 24 June 2024* If you have a need for more storage on your Raspberry Pi 5, then this is an economical way to do it. There are other options which offer a full case but are more expensive. This works well if you don't mind the open look. Remember you probably need a cooler too. ## Frequently Bought Together - GeeekPi N04 M.2 M-Key NVMe SSD Shield for Raspberry Pi 5, M.2 2280 PCIe to NVMe SSD Shield Pip PCIe Peripheral Board Top for Raspberry Pi 5 4GB/8GB (SSD and Pi5 Board are not Included) - Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) - GeeekPi Raspberry Pi 5 Metal Case with Official Active Cooler, Support PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD Shield Top X1001 / X1003 / X1000 / N04 / N05 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/610179313-n04-m-2-m-key-nvme-ssd-shield-for-raspberry](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/610179313-n04-m-2-m-key-nvme-ssd-shield-for-raspberry) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
