The installation process was only complicated by the skeleton case I'm using - it has a passive and active cooler, as well as the RTC battery. Because of how the pimoroni fits underneath, there aren't really any good full cases that can accomodate it (yet), and to make it work I had to buy a set of standoffs with m2 screw heads to make it fit together properly, but now I have a fully functional PC that's the size of a deck of cards. Insallation process was super simple - the cable is good and gives space to add/remove an SD card, and easily slid into the PI end (though took some finagling to get the pimoroni end seated properly). I simply used the SD card copier to copy my OS across to the terrabyte SSD - a Lexar NM790, which isn't on the officlal list, but seems to be working fine. I have not yet tried the gen3 speeds, but that's next on my list.

Must have product for the Pi5 Works very well with 500Gb Crucial P2 memory with impressive boot speeds. All that is needed now is a case that houses the Pi5 and NMVe base plate and the 'job's a good 'un'
