Custom M300 Pcie M.2 NVMe SSD 2242 PIP PCIe Peripheral Board for Pi 5

[Important Notes]

Not include Raspberry Pi 5 & NVMe M.2 SSD!!!

Do not reserve the nut column to fix the 2230/2242 SSD, users need to find proper way to fix them.

NVMe SSD Incompatibility List:

We recommend avoiding the following NVMe SSD drives which is equipped with a Phison controller due to their proven incompatibility:

WD Blue SN550/SN580 series

WD Green SN350 series

WD Black SN850 series

Other NVMe SSD drivers equipped with the same Phison controller

These specific models have demonstrated compatibility issues, and it is advisable to avoid them when considering NVMe SSD options for the X10xx series NVMe shield.

We hope the Raspberry Pi Foundation will resolve this issue soon.

Also note:

Compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDs

Not compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, or other M.2 non-NVMe devices

Older NVMe drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives

New NVMe SSDs are not partitioned and will need to be both partitioned and formatted when first connected to the Raspberry Pi before they will be accessed in the Explorer.

[Overview]

• The M300 shield is an NVME M2 2242 SSD PIP (PCIe Peripheral Board) for the Raspberry Pi 5 that uses the new PCIE interface of the Raspberry Pi 5 to utilise the NVME M2 SSDs for fast data transfers and ultra-fast booting.

• This shield follows the new "PIP" design guideline from Raspberry Pi fundation ensuring that it will be easy to use and be supported long term by updates to Raspberry Pi OS - though it is very early days and things are improving rapidly there!
