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.

Works fine with a 512MB Lexar NM620, did not work with WD Green as stated.

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

It works. Everything needed to get the Pi running with a SSD. It takes a few steps but the setup is easy. I think it is more elegant than the HATs but won't fit in a case.

Worked brilliantly with a Lexar NM710 1TB. Instructions were easy and clear.

I had a few problems, but support went out of their way to make everyt hing right! Much more important than a problem free service, is the reaction when a problem happens... in this case Pimoroni went above and beyond to make things right.... I wont go anywhere else from now on!
