SupTronics X1015 NVMe Add-on for Raspberry Pi 5
The Suptronics X1015 is an SSD expansion board for Raspberry Pi 5, allowing you to attach full-size 2280-format M.2 NVMe drives (as well as 2260, 2242, and 2230), via the PCIe 2.0/3.0 interface. It supports data transfer rates of up to 8Gbps.
Designed to mount on top of the Raspberry Pi 5, it features a pass-through 40-pin header for continued GPIO access and supports use with other HATs. The cut-away form factor is compatible with the Raspberry Pi Active Cooler.
Mounting holes and the included standoffs help secure the board to your Raspberry Pi 5. Built-in LED indicators show power and read/write drive activity.
You can boot directly from an SSD, improving application load times, file transfer speeds, and performance in tasks like web serving or building a local media server or NAS.
Raspberry Pi, SSD and Active Cooler not included
Features
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5
- Supports up to 4TB M.2 NVMe solid-state drives
- Supports two M.2 NVMe SSD form factors: 2280, 2260, 2242, and 2230
- Supports PCIe 2.0 5Gbps / PCIe 3.0 8Gbps
- Compatible with the Raspberry Pi Active Cooler
- LED indicators displays power and drive status
- Powered via GPIO converted to 3.3V max 3A to power the SSD
- Stackable design allows for attachment of other HATs
- Powered through the 40-pin GPIO header
- Not compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, or other M.2 non-NVMe devices
Specifications
- Power supply: 5Vdc +/-5% power via GPIO pin header, converted to 3.3V max 3A to power the SSD
- Ports & Connectors: PCIe connector - 16-pin pitch 0.5mm
- SSD connector: M.2 M-Key

Compatibility
As with all M.2 NVMe adapters for Raspberry Pi 5, certain models of M.2 NVMe SSD (usually with a Phison controller) are best avoided due to compatibility issues.
The following models have been highlighted by SupTronics as having poor compatibility, however other online resources will highlight further models/brands to avoid:
- WD Blue SN550/SN580 series
- WD Green SN350 series
- WD Black SN850 series
Resources
- Software setup/tutorials
- Hardware information and assembly
Package Contents
