I'm very happy with this NVMe base, feels excellent quality and had no problems when I added it to my Raspberry Pi 5.

Hello Pimoroni, I received the NVMes ordered successfully. I didn't get chance to implement it in my rasperberry pi 5 yet. I'm impressed with the quality of the NVMe card.

Works perfectly with my Crucial P2 250GB NVMe, no errors. I have PCIe Gen 3 enabled using Raspberry Pi OS. Ran benchmark tests and getting roughly 700MB/s read and 400MB/s write. Very happy with quality of product.

Overall wonderful setup. The only thing missing is a proper standoff or other retainer for SSD securement.

So awesome! 2TB Samsung 980 Pro installed easily and has run stably. Formatted and partitioned nvme drive with gpt/ext4 using Raspios Bookworm on a µSD, and then switched to a LibreELEC boot µSD. LibreELEC automagically recognized and mounted the NVME drive, with no fuss or bother. SFTP uploads to the drive over GigE consistently run at 95MB/s — woot! This is a huge huge upgrade to my Kodi compared to the previous RPi4 with OSMC boot and media on the same 256GB µSD. Runs fine on a USB-C PD power brick that states a 5V 3A max. Seems to pull 5V 1.25-1.5A playing back 1080 and 2160 HEVC to HDMI with a mouse and USB remote control receiver as accessories. Obviously YMMV. Have lots of fun!
