I'm using my Pi 5 as a DIY project to control my amateur radio station. My Pimoroni NVMe Base arrived Friday, and I was able to copy my SD card, change the boot order, reboot with the NVMe in about 20 minutes after unboxing. It was quick and easy. The ribbon cable is small and delicate, so handle with care. The ribbon cable sockets are also very delicate, so ve very gentle there as well. But it's quick and easy. Oh, and after I booted, I bumped up my PCIe to gen3 speed and it's rocking. The Pimoroni board is solid and a great addition. I'm now booting a 1 Tb NVMe SSD. Fabulous little computer.

Worked a treat even though it says it doesn't support Western Digital M2 NVMe SSD. My WD 1TB Black works very well. Very satisfied, the video on YouTube is also well produced and will help anyone. Thanks!

Your web site instructions worked like a charm. I liked this particular design that allows the SD card to be removed easily. Well Done Pimoroni

Installed my NVMe to pi 5. Straight forward but flat connector fiddly to get correct. All working fine with Crucial P3 Plus 1 TB SSD. Read speed 814 Mb/S All deliveries received as promised on your informative updates re: batches and deliveries. Thank you.
