Brilliant vfm, remarkably easy to setup. Just check that you’ve got all of the bits out of the package before you throw anything away. The tiny ribbon connector was right down at the bottom of the envelope and I didn’t realise I’d missed it until I got to the step where I had to install it and couldn’t find it.

Build quality is good and works as intended, but the best is their customer service. My pack came with a single missing standoff, and when I raised it to them, they sent a new bag of parts immediately, no questions asked. Would buy again.

I really like this - it's a quick (relatively) inexpensive way to add NVMe storage. Unlike the official HaT, it keeps the GPIO pins available, and doubles up as a handy base for the Pi to sit on. It's very good.

I have 3 of these on Pi5's and not missed a beat. Easy to set up with little knowledge of Linux.

I've bought NVMe Base to set up a Home Assistant with a bigger ROM. It connected to the Raspberry Pi 5 with no problems, but the PCI flex cable was a little finicky, and I had to reconnect it once before it worked. I don't think the base is compatible with any widely available Raspberry cases without heavy modification, so keep that in mind. Overall, the base seems well-designed and well-put together, and the packaging feels reliable enough to send by post, for example.
