• PCle2.0 Dual Channel: It supports the use of both NVMe SSDs and Hailo AI acceleration cards at the same time. Or you can choose to expand two NVMe SSD to bring massive storage capacity to your Raspberry Pi5. This hat utilizes the PCIe 2.0 switch chip ASM1182E, which has good compatibility with Raspberry Pi 5.
• Stable Connection: Additional Pogo Pins for extra power supply to ensure a stable high-speed connection.
• Multiple size support: 2230/2242/2260/2280 compatible.
• Back-mounted design: This hat features a back-mounted design, allowing users to freely use the 40-pin GPIO and can be used in conjunction with other hats. Additionally, it does not obstruct official Raspberry Pi heatsinks and fans, providing better airflow and cooling efficiency.
• User-friendly Design: S-shaped FPC cable design that does not obstruct the micro SD card.
• Open source case: Seeed M.2 hats aren't compatible with Raspberry Pi official case, so we provide adapted 3D printing case stp file.

  
  Due to compatibility issues with Raspberry Pi's PCIe, not all NVMe SSDs are supported. Raspberry Pi's official developers are continuously updating the system to support more NVMe SSD controllers and models. Especially if booting from an SSD is required, we strongly recommend updating to the latest Raspberry Pi firmware and bootloader.

  Note: SATA SSD is not compatible with this hat.

  Many excellent suppliers, such as Pimoroni, provide detailed compatibility lists. We are sorry that at this stage we have not tested enough SSD models to provide a detailed SSD compatibility list. Currently, on the Seeed homepage of pibenchmarks, there are several verified SSDs that can be used for storage and system boot disks. We will try to improve this list as much as possible in the future. Users are also welcome to share compatibility information in the comments section or via email. For now, you can refer to the compatibility lists of other SSD with Raspberry Pi 5 in the community. If you are unsure which SSDs are compatible, you can purchase SSDs sold on the Seeed website, all of which are verified. Among them, 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB are from Foresee, and 1TB is from Kioxia.
