Frequently Asked Questions

What types of M.2 SSDs are compatible with this adapter?

This Waveshare adapter is designed to support M-Key M.2 NVMe Solid State Drives in various form factors including 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. It utilizes the Raspberry Pi 5's PCIe x1 interface, ensuring high-speed data transfer. SATA-based M.2 SSDs are not compatible with this NVMe specific HAT+.

What are the power requirements and output capabilities of the PoE function?

The PoE function is IEEE 802.3af/at compliant, accepting a wide input voltage range of 37V to 57V DC. It provides a maximum of 5V 4.5A via the GPIO header for the Raspberry Pi 5 and 12V 2A via a dedicated 2P header for powering external peripherals.

How do I enable PCIe and NVMe SSD support on my Raspberry Pi 5?

To use the NVMe SSD, ensure your Raspberry Pi 5 firmware and OS are up to date. You will need to configure the `dtparam=pciex1` or `dtparam=pcie_gen=3` setting in your `config.txt` file (usually in `/boot/firmware`) to enable the PCIe interface and optionally set the generation.

Is active cooling necessary when using an NVMe SSD with this HAT+?

NVMe SSDs can generate significant heat during sustained operation. This HAT+ includes a metal heatsink and thermal tape to aid in dissipation. For intensive workloads, pairing it with active cooling like a fan HAT for the Raspberry Pi 5 is highly recommended to maintain optimal SSD performance and longevity.
