GeeekPiP33 M.2 NVME M-Key PoE+ Hat with Official Pi 5 Active Cooler for Raspberry Pi 5, Support M.2 NVMe SSDs 2230/2242/2260/2280

I installed this today on a Raspberry Pi 5 and copied my SD card over with the built in SD copier, then edited the config to allow me to boot from it. Everything seems t be functioning, and I'm power it through PoE along with 3 other Raspberry Pis (though they are using a different PoE Hat without NVMe). Everything was really easy.The one thing I don't love is the initial installation, but it isn't too bad. You have to slide the ribbon cable through a slot on the Hat because the cable is very short. It certainly wasn't the worst thing ever, but it will make changing it out more difficult should I ever need/want to do that.

Great NVMe and POE hat for Pi 5. I had to make settings change rpi-eeprom to allow halt poweroff. Also added usb_max_current_enable to boot config to allow high power USB devices

This combines a 2280 M.2 and POE for the Pi 5.What would make it perfect would be a full 5A of output as opposed to 4.5A. It will show the lightning bolt as it's not 5A for awareness, and likely limit downstream current. But, I had no issues running the NVME HAT along with POE, and it worked just fine with a USB hub for my 2 port keyboard (lighted) and mouse, and HDMI so the current was sufficient. The listing was accurate, though. It would also be nice if were not as tall, much like the official Pi 4 POE adapter with the planar component and solid capacitors.This came with 2 M.2 screws as well as another anchor for smaller drives. The 2280 hole is fixed. It seemed to support PCI-E 3.0 just fine as the drive speed was around 900MB/s.There is a version for up to 2245 that is shorter, but it lacks the 2280 compatability and the pins for 3.3, 5, and 12V. I also like that the GPIO extenders were long enough to still use the GPIO; the official HAT is not.Maybe one day the official adapter will come out and still be compatbile with HATs and the official cooler, though I doubt it will work with all of them and also put out 5A given how small it will be.

This board works really well. The thing that is mildly disappointing is that the board extends over the top of the ports. If you look at all the official HATs from Raspberry Pi, none of theirs do this. This creates a little bit of a physical compatibility issue with a lot of rack mounts and other types of enclosures where there are slots cut out for the ports. This board protruding too far forward can prevent things from physically lining up. If the rack/enclosure has holes that the Pi should line up with and be mounted to, this board jutting out too far in the front can throw everything off by a few millimeters so that the Pi doesn't line up with the mounting hole. I had a very expensive rack that I needed to drill my own holes in to make things fit and it came out ok, but there's still a bit of an issue in that the Pis are all recessed a few millimeters now instead of their ports being flush with the front face. Kind of annoying and all on account of the board jutting out too far in the front. Other than this, these boards have been great. Tech-wise, no issues.

Great add on for the pi. Comes with everything you need. The standoffs, screws, the pi active cooler and the ribbon cable. It works flawlessly once you read the instructions and install the ribbon cable in the correct direction.

Product is perfect, no more power supply just use the PoE from your switch. Also you can now use your NVme drive and boot up much faster. Also no more flaky micro usb failures.

This is my third POE hat for ras pi but this is the first one that did not work. Would not power up via POE and did not reconize the NVME drive when powered up via USB. Got another hat and powered up first time without an issue. Spent a few hours trying to make it work.

Perfect fit
