Raspberry Pi foundation launches new line of SSDs |
|
The latest member of the Raspberry Pi family is the Raspberry Pi 5 which introduced several performance and hardware specification improvements. Despite these significant upgrades, the main draw of the new version 5 hardware is the range of hardware add-ons which can work with the Pi. Eben Upton of the Raspberry Pi team writes: "We've seen everything from Ethernet adapters, to AI accelerators, to regular PC graphics cards attached to the PCI Express port. We offer our own low-cost M.2 HAT+, which converts from our FPC standard to the standard M.2 M-key format, and there are a wide variety of third-party adapters which do basically the same thing. We've also released an AI Kit, which bundles the M.2 HAT+ with an AI inference accelerator from our friends at Hailo. But the most popular use case for the PCI Express port on Raspberry Pi 5 is to attach an NVMe solid-state disk (SSD). SSDs are fast; faster even than our branded A2-class SD cards. If no-compromises performance is your goal, you'll want to run Raspberry Pi OS from an SSD, and Raspberry Pi SSDs are the perfect choice." Upton then goes on to talk about the new Raspberry Pi official solid state drives (SSDs) which are available in 256GB and 512GB flavours, granting the tiny Pi computers storage capacity on par with a low-end laptop. |
