It was a little difficult to get the ribbon cable into the connector on the base, but after it was connected and secured to the pi, it worked great. It's an amazing improvement in speed over the old sd cards. I don't think I'll ever go back. As an added bonus, unlike many of the other brands out there, it doesn't take up any gpio pins or even obstruct them in the slightest. I'm in Missouri, USA. It took about a week to ship. Not bad for around the world! I'd definitely order another again. It was well worth it!

As a customer, I found it incredibly easy to set up, with clear instructions and all necessary components included. The integration with the Raspberry Pi 5 is seamless, providing a significant boost in storage performance thanks to the NVMe SSD support.

NVMe Base fits perfectly at the bottom of Raspi5. Also perfectly description of the handling of the board! With the drive compatibility list I found the Samsung 980 ssd with 1TB which I installed to the board. Mounting of the bended connection cable was a little tricky, but finally it worked. Now I am booting my Raspi5 from the ssd without the sd-card and have a lot of memory!

I had previously added an NVME base to my first Pi5 and it is working well so decided to get another for my 2nd Pi5, not disappointed. It certainly makes the Pi5 a viable desktop replacement. quick and easy to install. I would certainly reccommend this. 5*
