Official Raspberry Pi SSD 256 GB

The Official Raspberry Pi SSD (256GB) delivers reliable, high-performance storage for I/O-intensive applications on the Raspberry Pi 5 and other compatible systems. When used as a boot device, it enables much faster startup times and improved system responsiveness compared to microSD-based storage.

This SSD is a PCIe Gen 3–compliant NVMe drive, designed for stable and responsive performance. It is well suited for desktop use, development environments, servers, media applications, and projects that benefit from fast data access.

To use this SSD with a Raspberry Pi 5, a compatible M.2 adapter is required, such as the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+, NVMe Base, or NVMe Base Duo (sold separately).
