“After discarding the bottom 2 layers of my Pibow case it was possible to fit it. My SSD is a Kingston NV2 500GB which is a PCIe 4.0 device. It works perfectly even at PCIe X3 speeds so you can add this model to your list of known working devices. Maybe just add something in your instructions about your Pibow case. Great product and look forward to whatever else you guys can come up with.”
“The NVMe base is the best thing on the already fantastic pi5, install was great and easy, currently using 256gb Samsung 960 pro ssd and boot speed is seconds!!”
“The Pimoroni NVMe Base worked very well for me. I am using it with a Samsung_SSD_970_EVO_Plus_2TB (2280) running with the /boot/config.txt [all] dtparam=pciex1_gen=3 edit. The only thing to watch is that the ribbon cable is a bit tricky to insert both ends and very slightly inhibits extraction of the SD card (an extra mm would be nice - but it works with a little care). For the price, it is amazing - Thank you.”
“This board is amazingly well-designed. Assembly is straightforward, and the SSD is sandwiched safely between the board and the Raspberry with just enough room for airflow. I needed to upgrade the firmware of my Raspberry to make it work, but there was no need to manually edit any of the configurations related to PCIe.”
