Compatibility Notice for Raspberry Pi 5 NVMe SSD HAT - If your SSD is not recognized or fails to boot with the Raspberry Pi 5, the issue is most likely due to incompatibility between the SSD and the Raspberry Pi 5 itself. This HAT functions solely as a signal and power bridge, meaning it does not influence or alter SSD compatibility in any way. Unlike standard desktop PCs, the Raspberry Pi 5 does not offer broad compatibility with most consumer SSDs, and users may occasionally encounter issues depending on the specific SSD model.
We recommend reviewing the product description of this M. 2 HAT carefully before use, and searching online for Pi Benchmarks to find real-world compatibility and performance feedback from the Raspberry Pi community. To ensure proper operation, please make sure your Raspberry Pi 5s bootloader and operating system are fully up to date.
