🚀 Unlock dual PCIe power and scale your Pi projects like a pro!
The GeeekPi B12 HAT transforms your Raspberry Pi 5 by expanding its single PCIe interface into two, enabling simultaneous connection of multiple PCIe devices such as SSDs, GPUs, and network cards. Featuring an ASMedia Gen2 PCIe switch and daisy-chaining capability, it supports scalable multi-tier PCIe configurations. Designed with a compact form factor and including three FPC ribbon cables, this robust HAT ensures reliable, high-speed data transfer and seamless integration with the Raspberry Pi 5's 40-pin GPIO header.

YMMV
I wanted to put this under an m.2 ssd hat, but it will not boot from the nvme. am keeping it, but is is meh

It is great, it's slim so all interfaces from main board are accessable.
This will give me two PCIe devices. One will be an NVME SSD 1TB boot and the other will allow 4 SATA drives, might replace the stock power supply to support 4 SATA drives. Thank You for a great product.

Works great with my 8gb RPI 5
This item was received for free, however, this review is 100% honest and unbiased.Great expansion board for my RPI 5, looks and feels high quality, and the packaging arrived a bit... flat but no damage to the board or any components so, not the seller's fault really.It came with Qty 4 FPCs, screws posts, and even a screw driver, my installation was easy, just make sure the Pi connector is facing the correct way, also the pi connector is a flip-style one compared to the HAT 1,2,3,4 are pull. I'm only using a single PCIe hat on my RPI5 but likely will be getting a second one since it made it so easy to stack'em

After 1 hat it is near impossible to connect the ribbon cables.
I broke 2 of the pcie connectors trying to install a ribbon in them. Need to use the trap door connectors up underneath. It is not impossible, but a PITA to add hat #3 without disassembling the rest st.

Not Useful at All!
I have tried using this PCIe Switch HAT with two PCIe HATs on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM.Neither HAT works with this Switch HAT. My Raspberry Pi 5 can not see either HAT through the switch. The cabling is correct. My Pi 5 sees all four "ports" on the switch but no HATs connected through it work. Each of the HATs I am trying to use works perfectly without the PCIe switch.
