“Easy to fit. Short cable is a fiddle to fit. Just rmember to fit your 2242 ssd to the hatdrive card first before fitting. Now how about same thing for Pi4 to save using external ssd disks. This Hat is also great value.”
“brilliant bit of kit..... attach it, fit the cable (check you have it round the right way - look for the white arrows/triangles on Pi and Cable).. put the drive in.
boot OS, clone the ssd image, update the boot order (raspi-config) and reboot. Done! Super quick, super easy!”
“Great piece of kit, I was running my RPi5 from an external USB connected SSD, but wanted an all in one fix. Being a complete newbie when it comes to coding, I expected to have to go back to an SD card to boot from before using the copy software. I installed the Hat Drive Nano along with and Integral 2242 256Gb NvMe, and switched on. The Pi booted from my existing USB drive and I was then able to use copy to transfer to the NvMe. Removed the USB drive and switched back on to instantly boot with the NvMe. Great result.”
“Drive hat is as expected, but the lacking of instructions, that I am sure will appear soon, was disappointing.
When you do get around to publishing them, can you include the bit that Reaspberrypi OS supports this natively, but Ubuntu (and others) will need additional step of booting to rasberrypi os and updating the firmware. This, I am sure, wont be a problem in the future, but as always with bleading edge tech, needs time get everything in place to "just work". The case fan and lids no longer fit, as expected, but then where to put the backup battery that keeps the clock ticking? I stuck mine with sticky velcro pads to the outside of the case. Not pretty, but works.
Thank you for a neat solution, keep them coming.”
“Very small! Fits perfectly in to the official Pi 5 case, but you’ll have to swap out the official fan as this won’t fit. If you need a fan, opt for the one listed on the info for the HAT, and you’ll have an amazing Pi! Worked first time and simple to install.”
