Looks like 's own M.2 hat has been released this morning & it's £11.50 / $12

Looks compact and supports the active cooler.

The downside I can see is that it only supports 2230 & 2242 M.2 devices, so the more common 2280 M.2 ssd's won't fit.

Well the M.2 hat is installed & it's booting from a 1Tb NVMe drive.

It's a lot less fiddly than the base units I have & there's clearance so it doesn't affect the active cooler.

That said it's a tight fit for the official case & the screws it comes with are too short for the case so you need longer screws to secure it completely.

Also the top is very tight & without those screws it's easy to accidentally remove the hat by accident when powered up if it's used.

@peter Does it do anything that the 2280-compatible Pimoroni board doesn’t?

@acb It doesn't look like it other than it's a HAT so goes on top, so would be compatible with most other cases, as Pimoroni's ones go underneath the PI - the only issue I have with the 2 PI's I have the Pimoroni base on that I can't fit them in a case.
