Our take on the Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe M.2 NVMe Starter-Kit

A bundle built around the Raspberry Pi 5, the fastest Pi yet with a quad-core Cortex-A76 CPU. It adds an aluminum case with an active fan and an M.2 NVMe adapter board so the board boots and runs from fast SSD storage instead of a microSD card. That combination suits media servers, dev work and light AI projects where SD card speed and heat are the usual bottlenecks. Compared with buying a bare Pi 5 and a separate cooler and HAT, it saves you matching parts, but you supply the NVMe drive yourself.

Pros
  • Pi 5's Cortex-A76 quad-core is a big step over the Pi 4
  • Aluminum case with active fan keeps sustained loads cool
  • M.2 NVMe adapter gives far faster storage than microSD
  • Parts are matched to fit together out of the box
Cons
  • NVMe SSD is not included, so you must add one
  • Active fan adds some audible noise under load
  • Pi 5 needs a 5V/5A USB-C supply, which is not part of the set
  • PCIe on the Pi 5 runs at Gen 2 by default, capping SSD speed

What reviewers say

  • 4.6 / 542 ratings

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 42 ratings. Owners like the speed gain from NVMe storage and the cooling of the metal case; the main grumbles are fan noise and the extra parts still needed.

What people mention
  • Storage speedPraisedOwners say booting and loading from an NVMe drive feels much quicker than microSD.
  • CoolingPraisedThe aluminum case with active fan keeps the Pi 5 cool during sustained work.
  • Fan noiseMixedSome find the fan noticeable when it ramps up under load.
  • CompletenessCriticisedBuyers note the SSD and a suitable USB-C power supply are not included.
  • BuildPraisedThe metal case and adapter board fit together cleanly.

About the Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe M.2 NVMe Starter-Kit

This starter kit is built around the Raspberry Pi 5, which has a quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4 GHz. It offers 2 to 3 times the performance of the previous generation and supports PCIe storage. The kit bundles the board with the accessories needed to set it up.

The board sits in an aluminum case with an integrated active cooling fan. A PCIe board lets you connect an M.2 NVMe SSD for fast storage. The SSD itself is not listed in the kit contents.

The 64 GB memory card comes without a preinstalled operating system, so you install the one you want. The kit can be used as a media center, smart home controller, retro gaming emulator, development platform or home server.

Questions and answers

Do I need to buy an SSD separately?
Yes. The kit includes the adapter board but not the M.2 NVMe drive, so pick a compatible 2230 or 2242 drive.
Is a power supply included?
No. The Pi 5 wants a 5V/5A USB-C supply for full performance, so plan on adding one.
How does it compare with a bare Raspberry Pi 5?
You get the same board plus cooling and NVMe storage in one matched set, which avoids hunting for a case and HAT that fit.
Can it run a media server?
Yes. The Pi 5's CPU and NVMe storage handle Plex or Jellyfin well, though heavy transcoding still depends on the client.
Does the NVMe adapter use the PCIe slot?
Yes. It connects to the Pi 5's single-lane PCIe connector, which runs at Gen 2 speed by default.
Where is the Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe M.2 NVMe Starter-Kit cheapest?
At db-tronic, for $224.27, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe M.2 NVMe Starter-Kit?
Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 42 ratings.
