Very nice kit for good price! Easy to install, has everything included, works out of the box. Old Samsung 960PRO from 2016 not only works but can read 800-810MB/s when set to PCI-e 3. If you still wonder if you should buy it, yes, it's worth every penny. Now RPi feels more like a beefy VPS than a micro board.

Excellent NVMe base. I am able to use different kinds of heatsinks (active and passive) because the base is mounted below the Pi board.

This is a great little board and is very easy to put together. I worried it might be complex to get the OS onto the SSD but that was easy. Checking the performance against a RPI4 using a USB SSD I get a really good uplift. It makes the RPI5 feel really responsive. I talk through the performance in this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Q9ENJATdtxc

Best ting that has happen to a Rasberry Pi. Great for testing out cluster and home media server.

Easy to install, no problems, documentation on hardware and software side to make NVME base work really good. Fits perfectly to my "hanging Pi5" install: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2204804#p2204804
