Easy setup and compact design. Adds a convenient PCI Express port to the Raspberry Pi5. This opens up a lot of possibilities for further expansion. I can't believe how cheap it is. Excellent value for money.

The Raspberry Pi5 M.2 Hat with extra bootable memory turned my Pi5 into a completely different desktop from a performance point of view. It now runs hundreds of times faster and competes with my thousand pound notebook. One of the best products I have purchased from PiHut in the last 5 years.

Some and some not so good thought on the M.2 Hat. Good is that once installed and working makes a great difference to performance and I've installed a 512Gb drive so plenty storage. Now the not so good - If you have the standard raspberry pi case make sure you remove the heatsink before trying to install the HAT. (The PiHut customer service was good in helping sort out my mistake), also the screws supplied are too short to go through the case, the pi PCB and connect to the spacers, so I had to use longer ones. Once installed it makes a pretty and small package, but without the lid.

Purchased 2 of these for gifts to my son. He's very pleased with them and says they will be useful. My order was dealt with quickly and efficiently.

2-stars because some of the supplied hat spacers are defective and it's impossible to find the screw thread. Unfortunately, once a RPi 5 is mounted in a PiBow case with the active cooler, then the M.2 hat+ is installed, with 2 spacers that are not defective, I would prefer not to have to take it apart... The 2 diagonally opposite spacers will have to do. I recommend confirming that all the supplied spacers and screws are not defective before installing the hat. Despite the mechanical installation problem, the M.2 has works very well with my MP600 MINI 1TB (Gen4) PCIe x4 NVMe M.2 2230 SSD.

Easy to install (cut & paste commands into a terminal window) & adds a nice bit of storage to your Pi ! Fast delivery from The Hut. Just really need to find a VESA case with a decent fan for it all. (the one in my pic the top now doesn't fit :-( ).
