The SupTronics X1012 NVMe + PoE Add-on for Raspberry Pi 5 combines 802.3af/at PoE (5V 5A output) with support for M.2 NVMe SSDs. Combine PoE and NVMe storage in a single, compact board.
The SupTronicsX1012 NVMe + PoE Add-on is specifically designed to offer a reliable power source and enhance storage capabilities for Raspberry Pi 5.
This add-on provides your Raspberry Pi 5 with 802.3af/at PoE compatibility, with an output of 5V 5A. You will need a power-injected Ethernet line, from a PoE router, switch or separate PoE injector. There is also an aux power jack for 35V-57VDC input.
At the same time, it also provides the ability to mount an M.2 NVMe SSD for booting or storage. Despite the compact design, this add-on can accommodate various M.2 SSD lengths, including 2280, 2260, 2242, and 2230. It supports booting the operating system from your SSD, and the design is compatible with the Raspberry Pi Active Cooler.

We recommend refraining from using the following NVMe SSD drives, which are 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 X10xx series NVMe add-ons. By steering clear of these drives, users can ensure a smoother and more reliable experience with their storage solutions.
A few other notes re SSD compatibility:
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 can be accessed in the Explorer
