## Description

desertcart.com: Geekworm X1003 Tiny PCIe to M.2 HAT NVMe SSD PIP PCIe Peripheral Board for Raspberry Pi 5 & Official Active Cooler Support M.2 2230/2242 SSD : Electronics

Review: Very easy to install, works with RPi 5 active cooling - I bought two different solutions for adding an NVMe drive to the Pi 5. This one was simple to install and worked perfectly. The only downside is that it can not handle full length M.2 cards, but that's not a problem as long as you buy the correct sized NVMe SSD m.2 drive. My RPi5 now boots fast and apps launch fast. I am currently operating my Pi 5 with no SD card installed. I used the new network installer capability to install the OS to the SSD drive and worked easy as pi! As an aside, I accidentally broke the ribbon cable clip on the Pi 5 itself. I did some googling and found a suggestion to use cardboard from a cereal box to secure the ribbon cable. This work wonderfully. The ribbon cable clip on the Geekworm HAT was undamaged. Be sure to pay attention to which side of the ribbon and insert them properly.
Review: This is a very nice NVMe PCIe HAT for the Raspberry Pi. - Not much to say here, but it works great. A little fiddly to install since the cable is short (as it needs to be). My RPi boots perfectly with no issues. This HAT will ONLY work with the official RPi 5 cooler. I know it is stated in the description as well, but it should be reiterated. Be careful on choice of NVMe. The Union Memory PCIe Gen3 NVMe has worked as expected. Very fast booting!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well but should include hardware for mounting a 2230 NVMe device
*by J***C on February 14, 2024*

Works fine for me, pay careful attention to the orientation of the ribbon cable, makesure the correct end is attached to the NVMe PCB. The ends of the cable are NOT reversible, just because the contacts are on the correct side of the cable does not necessarily mean the cable is oriented properly. Also, this PCB can only be mounted with a Raspberry Pi Foundation Pi 5 cooling fan. Other fan styles will not work. There is no hardware for holding down a shorter 2230 NVMe device. It really should include the hardware since it can be hard for a hobbyist to find. I would have rated this device at 5 stars had it included that hardware.
