Easy to install and works great. Everything I've bought from Pimoroni has been an excellent value.

Really fast shipping, approx 10 days to Canada(with tracking). This item is well packaged. The sealed product packaging included everything I needed and some spares. I am using it with the suggested Crucial P3 Plus and there were no issues getting it working. The instructions on the site (step 2) should state "Install the OS with the rpi imager", not format the drive (assuming you want to boot from it). I am very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend it.

I only had 7x short M2.5 bolts for base mounting, I need 8. Not very cool.

I appreciate it is a big problem with so many different cases available for a Mk 5 Pi but it would be nice to recommend one and a fitting kit for the base to fit to it. The base itself works fine and very fast conpared to a SD Card

I use it together with a 4 TB NVME SSD and it works well. It was nesessary to change to GPT format to adress the 4 TB in one pice. Thanks :-) you build a very good board!

Updated the PI firmware and booted straight off a Samsung 980 500G nvme SSD. Has been working under heavy use since first boot absolutely flawlessly. Would highly recommend. Only drawback is it no longer fits in the official case, which is clearly documented and wasn't a surprise to me, nor an issue as it's just sat on a rack shelf for now till I find a better mount
