“Arrived on time. A doddle to set up especially as the hat came with the ribbon cable already attached. Software side was relatively easy but the drive icon doesn’t appear on the desktop. Highly recommended.”
“I’ve got a Raspberry Pi 5 running Plexamp with a Topping DAC connected to an old '90s DENON amp. I’m playing large FLAC files, but the SD card struggles with the casing, giving me the circle of death. After installing an NVMe drive with a Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT, everything ran buttery smooth! I highly recommend this setup”
“Quite like this - it's inexpensive and the official way to add M.2 storage to the Pi 5, but I prefer the Pimoroni Bases - they keep the GPIO pins available and are a neater solution.”
“I bought the M.2 HAT+ to pop in on old Steam Deck SSD that I had spare. My Pi could see it, but refused to boot from it. I bought another SSD that people had said was compatible & it worked straight away.
So, it does what you'd expect, but can be fussy.”
