Waveshare PCIe to USB 3.2 Gen1 & M.2 HAT, Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, Supports NVMe Protocol Solid State Drive, Expands 4-Ch USB 3.2 Ports, High-Speed Reading/Writing, HAT+ Standard

High-Speed NVMe SSD Support: This HAT+ enables Raspberry Pi 5 to connect to M. 2 NVMe SSDs in 2230 and 2242 form factors, supporting both PCIe Gen2 and Gen3 modes. It allows for high-speed read/write operations and the capability to boot directly from the SSD, enhancing system performance ^^ Comprehensive
Power Management: Equipped with an onboard power monitoring chip and EEPROM, the HAT+ provides real-time monitoring of the SSD's power status. This ensures stable operation and efficient power usage.
^^ Enhanced Cooling Design: The HAT+ features a reserved airflow vent for a cooling fan, which helps maintain optimal temperatures for both the Raspberry Pi 5 and the connected SSD during intensive operations. ^^ Easy Installation and
Compatibility: Designed specifically for Raspberry Pi 5, the HAT+ connects via a 16-pin PCIe interface. It is compatible with M. 2 SSDs of sizes 2230 and 2242, and supports booting from the SSD with appropriate configuration.
^^ Clear Operational Indicators: The HAT+ includes onboard dual
LED indicators: a power (PWR) LED that remains on when powered, and an activity (ACT) LED that blinks during read/write operations. These indicators provide clear visual cues of the device's operational status.
