HatDrive! Bottom (NVMe 2230, 2242, 2280 GEN 3) for Raspberry Pi 5

Get ready to add full-size NVMe drives to your Raspberry Pi 5 with the HatDrive! BM1L (BOT). This variant is specifically tailored for users who require extra storage without any compromises.

Key Features and Strengths:

• Perfectly Crafted for Raspberry Pi 5: Specially dedicated to the latest Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer.
• Expanded NVMe Drive Compatibility: Supports NVMe (M-key) drives in M.2 format sizes 2230, 2242, and 2280.
• PCIe x1 Interface Support: Compatible with PCIe x1 interface in both Gen2 and Gen3 standards.
• Dual LED Indicators: Equipped with 2 LEDs to indicate power supply voltage (“PWR”) and M.2 disk activity (“ACT”).
• Enhanced Form Factor: PCB size of 90 x 56 mm, expanded by 5mm to accommodate the longer M.2 2280 slot, while remaining compatible with the original Raspberry Pi 5 dimensions.
• Compliant Power System with M.2 Standard: Integrated voltage regulator capable of delivering up to 3A for the 3.3V power rail, in line with the M.2 (NGFF) standard.
• Easy M.2 Drive Installation: Quick installation for M.2 drives (sizes 2230, 2242, or 2280) using a dedicated metal bracket (custom CNC made).
• Versatile M.2 Card Powering Options: Can power the M.2 card directly from the FPC PCIe ribbon (port providing at least 5W of continuous power) or through an optional 4-pin cable bundle for redundant power supply (up to 2A at 5V).
• User-Friendly PCB Markings: Clearly marked PCB for ease of use.
• Premium Quality Components: Built with high-quality electronic components and a robust 4-layer PCB.
• Unique Market Positioning: A distinct BOTTOM variant, enabling the mounting of long SSDs in the 2280 format.
• Complete Accessory Kit Included: Comes with a dedicated FPC PCIe ribbon, spacer pins, M2.5 screws, and a spacer pin for M.2 card mounting.
