I know for sure that the SSD Hat is NOT compatible with the Official Case, even WITHOUT the fan that ships with the case.
The Tolerances just do not allow for the lid to fit correctly.
I was compelled to get a case/enclosure 3D printed to be able to fit the Pi 5, Official Cooler, and the NVME Hat.
Either the Pi Makers or the Hat makers must have not checked correctly.
I too have the Original Pi 5 Case with its fan lying unused. But I won’t sell the same.
Yes, this ensures the lid fixes correctly. However, it presents another problem.
The official cooler blows air on the fins, which are located right below the Hat.
This chokes the cooler and drastically reduces its efficiency.
An Argon Neon 5 Case with an NVME slot costs INR 5,000, which is way too expensive.
Will the “Standard” version be able to accommodate either of the WaveShare NVME Hats?
