Raspberry Pi have recently expanded their hardware offerings with their own SSDs and SSD Kits, plus they're also selling their own SD Cards now too. Giving you some more chances to turn your Raspberry Pi 5 into a full-blown desktop at a low cost with good performance.
Earlier this month they released branded SD Cards and the silicone Raspberry Pi Bumper you can just snap onto the board to protect it. The SD Cards were made in partnership with Longsys, so you at least know they're going to be legit and work properly. These are available across 32GB, 64GB and 128GB.
And just this week they've also now launched Raspberry Pi SSDs and SSD Kits. Available across 256GB and 512GB these use the M.2 2230 form factor. You can buy the SSDs separately, or you can buy them as a kit with the also newly launched Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ to actually plug them in. Making it super simple to get started.

Quoting: nwildnerInteresting stuff the M.2 Hat, and maybe pair it with other NVMe - https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/m2-hat-plus/
Not a fan of having said hat placed on the cpu side, right at the ideal place to hinder cooling.
There's alternative m.2 hats that fit on the other side of the pi (should one call those boots?).
Even more interesting to me: Argon have released a new case with m.2 support for the pi5 that doesn't get in the way of their cooling solution of turning the top of the case into a cpu heatsink: https://argon40.com/products/argon-one-v3-m-2-nvme-case
