“A great add-on for the Pi! The board came nicely packaged and the assembly was straightforward. While in the base, my old Samsung SSD achieves speeds of around 800MB/s, which is quite an upgrade compared to running the Pi from a microSD card. Running the SSD at gen3 speeds seems to be stable. There are some spare nuts and bolts in the packaging, which is a nice addition.
All in all, a great product!”
“Worked nicely for me to run a Crucial P5 Plus 500gb ssd which couldn't run in USB enclosure over USB3 because of current drain too much for USB3, but ok with PiMoroni nvme base.
Sad that I had to discard my pi5 pibow case, and I am now running caseless. The bridge ribbon from nvme base to PI5 wouldn't go inside the case, too short and too tight a crimp, and too short to go outside with no suitable cutouts in Pibow in any case. Hoping that better pibow or alternative cases will be available to suit nvme base.”
“Product works very well. Two disappointing but minor issues. The flex cable does not allow for wider spacing meaning it must fit directly beneath the pi. Also the screw fixing to hold the ssd is not brilliant. However - excellent product and works well.”
“This product is an exceptional tool and an obvious choice for anyone undertaking a project centred on the RPI-5. This was set up and operational in a matter of minutes, showcasing an exceptionally well-crafted design and complete functionality. It comes highly recommended.”
“Worked like a charm, easy install, easy setup.. happy customer!! Used the base of the fan and sandwiched it between the pi and the base. No issues whatsoever..”
