“Awesome bit of kit. It feels surreal to be booting from an SSD. The only issue I have is finding a case that will accommodate it. I may just be not looking hard enough. It’s early days.”

“Much better performance with the hat compared to an SD card and less clunky than using an external SSD linked to a USB drive. It is a bit fiddly setting it up and it took me a few attempts to seat the ribbon cable correctly. If you buy this and it says hat not detected then it is highly likely the cable isn't attached properly. You will see a blue light when it is connected properly.”

“Great way to add an NVMEe disk (a spare Samsung 970 EVO that was languishing idly in a broken laptop) to my new Pi5 . In conjunction with an aluminium armour case and some short standoffs it's possible to create a compact and smart looking setup.”

“Great product - love the offset ribbon allowing access to the MicroSD. Adding a cheap NVMe drive makes an amazing difference to the performance!”

“Loaded my OS on to a NVME card and installed it on the Hat Base. Booted first time and worked great. I then enabled PCIe 3 and it was soooo fast. Love it. Should come as a standard fitment with the pi. I had to 3d print my own case though as there isn’t a lot of commercial case support yet for this base.”

“No problems installing although connecting the PCI cable can be a bit fiddly. Works without problems with my nvme drives”
