This HAT works super well for providing NVME function to a raspberry Pi setup. No longer need to be restricted by 130MB read/write options when 8000 can be possible with a reliable NVME. In all reality is performs well and is capable of running cool with the proper heat sink setup. The value is evident and the speed is night and day. Power supply handles just fine.
Installation was really straight forward, and everything is included in the kit to connect it to your Raspberry Pi. You only need to screw in the standoffs to the Pi and connect a ribbon cable from the Pi to the M.2 adapter and that's it.
This is ideal if you're running home assistant on your Pi 5 as this does a lot of read and writes to the standard SD card which wears it out very quickly. An SSD is a little hardier to this type of use case and this adapter allows the use of an M.2 on your Pi 5. Software also loads a lot quicker in my experience, and I consider this a good upgrade from the standard SD card.
I think it's reasonably priced and it's easy to install to your Pi. Do note though that this is only compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 and won't work with any other version of the Pi.
Expansion card that connects to your Rasberry Pi 5 - separators and screws are included to bind the two together along with a PCIe FPC cable.
The card supports an M.2 NVMe SSD 2230/2242/2280 drive - perfect to reuse old drives from upgraded laptops!
So far no issues - the fast storage is appreciated and extends the capabilities of the Rasberry Pi significantly.
