Pineberry Pi BM1L HatDrive! Bottom NVMe Adapter for Raspberry Pi 5

Prepare to add full-size NVMe drives to your Raspberry Pi 5 with the HatDrive! BM1L (BOT). This version is designed specifically for users seeking extra storage without cutting any corners.

Key Features and Strengths:

• Tailored for the Raspberry Pi 5: Specifically designed to complement the latest Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer
• Expanded Compatibility for NVMe Drives: Supports NVMe (M-key) drives in M.2 format sizes 2230, 2242, and 2280
• Support for PCIe x1 Interface: Compatible with PCIe x1 interface in both Gen2 and Gen3 standards
• Dual LED Indicators: Features a pair of LEDs indicating power supply voltage ("PWR") and M.2 disk activity ("ACT") for convenient system monitoring.
• Enhanced Form Factor: The PCB size measures 90 x 56 mm, expanded by 5mm to accommodate the extended M.2 2280 slot while maintaining compatibility with the original Raspberry Pi 5 dimensions.
• Dedicated I2C EEPROM Memory: Fully supports HAT ID for advanced functionality and customizable configurations.
• Advanced Power Monitoring and Diagnostics: Implements a continuous, real-time monitoring and diagnostic system via an I2C interface, covering voltage, current, and power parameters.
• Compliant Power System with M.2 Standard: Integrated voltage regulator capable of delivering up to 3A for the 3.3V power rail, aligning with the M.2 (NGFF) standard.
• Effortless M.2 Drive Installation: Streamlined installation process for M.2 drives (2230, 2242, or 2280) facilitated by a custom CNC-made metal bracket.
• Versatile M.2 Card Powering Options: Choose between powering the M.2 card directly from the FPC PCIe ribbon (providing at least 5W of continuous power) or opt for an optional 4-pin cable bundle for redundant power supply (up to 2A at 5V).
• User-Friendly PCB Markings: Clearly marked PCB for straightforward and hassle-free use.
• High-Quality Components: Constructed with top-tier electronic components and a robust 4-layer PCB for durability and reliability.
• Unique Market Positioning: A distinctive BOTTOM variant, allowing for the mounting of elongated SSDs in the 2280 format.
• Comprehensive Accessory Kit: Includes a dedicated FPC PCIe ribbon, spacer pins, M2.5 screws, and a spacer pin for the hassle-free mounting of M.2 cards.
