“Works as described. Allows the addition of an NVME drive to the bottom of the Pi 5.
The cable is a little snug, but overall an easy way to add fast storage to the Pi 5. Even managed to 'adjust' a cheap plastic layered case with a dremel to get it to fit instead of the bottom layer.”
“What a swift start-up ! Had to find a YouTube video for actually putting it onto the RPI5 as there were no instructions with the package. Overall, well worth the wait from the pre-ordering to deploying.”
“Easy to install and configure, fantastic improvement in performance - KDE Plasma desktop loads in under 10 seconds. This has made my RPi5 as fast as 2011 MacBook Pro if not faster!”
“I was so pleased to see how inexpensive your excellent NVMe Base is and seeing the HOWTO video was really helpful.
Assembly was really straighforward and the presence of the active cooler was no problem.
I am running with the PCIe3 set in /boot/config.txt with no problems and booting off a 256GB NVMe drive from Integral. Getting 41000+ benchmark scrores from pibenchmarks.com
The PCIe ribbon cable is cleverly angled so it is easy to replace/remove the SD card too!”
