“Very happy with it. I made a fresh install of RetroPie manually on the nvme once I had installed it into the Base. The whole setup wasn't too fiddly in my opinion, took maybe 15 minutes watching the YouTube and following the steps needed. No issues so far or any problems once it was setup and working. Does seem pretty snappy compared to the SD card”
Ahoy!

“The instructions listed in the store are not as good as the ones from the support site. After installing I received a low power warning when I formatted the drive I used a corsair mp600 drive the transfer speed I got was 885 mega bytes per second. Over all a good kit”
