WaveShare PCIe to M.2 SSD HAT+ with PoE for Raspberry Pi 5

The PCIe to M.2 SSD HAT+ with PoE for Raspberry Pi 5 is an innovative expansion that offers a powerful and compact solution for integrating M.2 SSDs and network connectivity. This HAT module allows for the use of Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling both power supply and network connection through a single cable. It supports NVMe protocols, ensuring high read and write speeds, and accommodates M.2 SSDs in the 2230 and 2242 formats. Additionally, the module provides the capability to boot the Raspberry Pi directly from the SSD, enhancing flexibility and efficiency. An integrated active fan ensures optimal cooling, even under heavy use, thus guaranteeing stable and reliable performance. The board is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi 5 and utilizes the 16-pin PCIe connector for smooth connectivity and high transfer rates. Furthermore, additional accessories can be connected via the 40-pin GPIO header.
