“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.”
“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!”
“Works as advertised. I love to be able to have a serious storage device on my Pi, and the Pimoroni part is attractively priced, too. The one thing that I would have appreciated is a small piece of paper that explains that the PCIe connector on the NVME board is a "clip" connector that works differently that the "snap" connector on the Raspberry Pi side. I was about to throw the board away when the clip opened, thinking I had ruined the board's connector while trying to open it ;-)”
