Argon ONE V3 M.2 NVMe PCIe Expansion Board
Argon ONE V3 M.2 NVMe PCIe Expansion Board
KShs 3,190.00
NVMe expansion board for the Argon ONE V3 case — boot Raspberry Pi 5 from an M.2 SSD (up to 2280).
Product Overview
Adds M.2 NVMe storage to the Argon ONE V3 case over PCIe for faster, more efficient storage and NVMe booting on Raspberry Pi 5.
Key Features
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| M.2 NVMe, M-key drives up to 2280 (incl. 2230) | Use common full-size SSDs |
| Boot Raspberry Pi 5 from NVMe | Faster start-up and app loading |
| Aluminium heatsink | Keeps the SSD cool |
| FPC and PCIe flex cables included | Everything needed to connect |
Applications
| Application Area | Example Projects |
|---|---|
| Desktop use | Faster boot and app loading on a Raspberry Pi 5 |
| Home servers | NAS, Nextcloud and media servers |
| Databases | Faster reads and writes than microSD |
| Development | Building software and running containers |
| Edge computing | Local storage for logs, models and video |
Benefits
Much faster storage
NVMe over PCIe is far quicker than a microSD card, especially for random reads and writes.
Boot from SSD
The Raspberry Pi 5 can start straight from the NVMe drive.
More reliable for heavy writes
An SSD handles constant logging and databases better than microSD.
Compatibility
- Argon ONE V3 case with Raspberry Pi 5

Which NVMe Board Should I Choose? (Raspberry Pi 5 only)
- Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ — Raspberry Pi’s own M.2 board, for 2230 and 2242 drives.
- Waveshare PCIe to M.2 HAT Mini — compact board for 2230 / 2242 drives.
- Waveshare PCIe to M.2 NVMe HAT — takes full-length drives up to 2280.
- Waveshare PoE + M.2 NVMe HAT+ — NVMe and Power-over-Ethernet on one board (2230 / 2242).
- Argon NEO 5 M.2 board or Argon ONE V3 M.2 board — add NVMe (up to 2280) to those Argon cases.
- All of these support NVMe drives only (not SATA M.2).
