Are you looking to add functionality to your Raspberry Pi 5 with a hat? In this video, I tried 3 new hats on the market to help you decide which one is the best fit for your project. These include a low profile NVMe hat, a Power over Ethernet or PoE hat which also takes an NVMe drive and lastly a UPS hat that runs on two 18650 cells.
