“Everything feels well produced and the base fits perfectly on my Pi5, the ribbon cable is well designed and leave the card reader accessable for inserting a micro sd card.
The only thing what maked me a bit trouble was some issues after I installed my nvme drive.
I had some problems with the nvme controller, when I looked in the error log I found some controller restart or not found error messages.
After I added "usb_max_current_enable=1" it seems to be solved, everything work stable now.”
“Easy to install. Very reliably at PCIe Gen3 speeds, so I get 950MB/s from a cheap NVMe drive. Recently shipped Pi5 boards seem to have up to date firmware in their EEPROM, so it just works.”
“Works just fine at first time with a Samsnung 980 Pro 1TB with no SSD on BookWorm Lite 64 freshly installed and updated. Performance are quite good: Write speed between 358 and 942 MB/s and read speed between 8.3 to 11.3 GB/S. The delivered product is very well packed and its quality is also very good. I'm totally satisfied. I will no be able to create my new Arcade for now on a Picade Console with Player X but targetting the Picade (Seems to be not possible at the moment).”
“As a newcomer to the entire Raspberry Pi scene, I was pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy the NVMe base was to install and configure. I am currently transferring 1TB of media to my 2TB Crucial P3 attached to the base without any issue. This is definitely a great investment! 10/10 would recommend.”
“The main reason I chose this base is because the ribbon cable allows access to the SD card slot, but I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality and appearance of this base. Install was quick and easy - looked at it and the included hardware for a second and installed it without looking at any directions. Shipping was quick as well. Thanks for an awesome addition to the pi 5!”
