“The Pimoroni NVMe Base for the Raspberry Pi 5 is a good value and provides a significant improvement over TF/SD card storage. I have purchased four of the NVMe base boards - they all perform well with Samsung, Crucial/Micron, and TeamGroup M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs. They are perfect for applications which require fast and reliable access to NVMe storage. Installation is simple and all parts and spares are provided. Pimoroni packages and ships the products quickly to the United States.”
“I found the instructions so easy to follow, and the whole process only took about 20 minutes to complete, I definitely recommend this unit for every project you wish to do, this really complements the Raspberry Pi, and the cost is very reasonable.”
“Amazing team who pulled all the stops with my order! Originally got from amazon, however it appeared they had put it through the shredder before sending. After an awesome chat, recieved in good packaging and speedy safe delivery too, a replacement that has been nonstop brilliant :)Very many thanks for dealing with my order and goes to show... better going direct!”
“The Pimoroni NVMe Base is a great way to add NVMe storage to your Raspberry Pi 5. It's easy to install and use, and it provides a significant performance boost over traditional microSD cards. However, it's important to note that the NVMe Base doesn't fully utilize the potential speed of NVMe drives due to the Raspberry Pi 5's PCIe Gen 2 x1 interface.
Overall, the NVMe Base is a worthwhile upgrade for anyone looking to improve the performance of their Raspberry Pi 5. Just be aware that you won't see the full benefits of NVMe speeds.”
