“Great prodduct. Allows me to install 500GB SSD, provides strucural and protective support, was easy to install and get operational. My PI 5 is now an effective computer I use for engineering analysis.”
“When building my Raspberry Pi 5 cluster, I came across the NVMe bases, I tried a different brand I won't name and had a miserable always locking up or crashing the Pi result. I quickly returned them and ordered the ones from Pimoroni which honestly after shipping are more expensive, but let me tell you they are well worth it. Raspberry Pi 5 8GB with Crucial P3 Plus 2TB NVMe SSDs set to PCIe 3 speeds and not a hiccup in the bunch. With this setup the Raspberry Pi 5 8GB is actually a very nice, very reasonably usable desktop computer for even somewhat intensive video editing and 3D rendering tasks, no worries about storage holding you up! Thanks Pimoroni for a great solution!”
“This is a well thought-out product. It has lots of nice touches like the curve of the cable, optional rubber foot pads, and the carefully written instructions. I didn't know Pimoroni before this so I was pleasently surprised. Will peruse their store in the future.”
“S'adapte parfaitement sous un RPI 5. La nappe de raccordement est bien pensée afin de laisser l'accès à la carte SD sans désolidariser le RPI de la base NVMe. Aucune contrainte au montage...Je recommande vivement ce modèle et surtout le moins cher sur le marché !”
“I am using the NVME Base with a Samsung SSD 256GB PM991 M.2 2242 42mm NVMe MZALQ256HAJD MZ-ALQ2560. The NVME Base supports this drive flawlessly on my Pi 5. I am using PCIe 3 speed.”
“The NVME board came without any instructions as to how to use the clip, it did not push-pull as have other ribbon connectors, and I found this by ruining the entire clip.
Maybe it works, maybe not, but the one I have is ruined”
Ahoy Daniel,
Sorry to hear that. Instructions for assembling NVMe Base can be found here: https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-nvme-base
If you send us over a photo showing what's broken to support@pimoroni.com we'll do our best to help :)
