“I'm very happy with it. The video and instructions were easy to follow. Setting up was very quick. I'm getting good read speeds from the drive. I like that they have offset the PCIe connectors to allow getting the SD card in/out.”

“Good quality, the package came with a recommended brand M2 SSD, the process was seamless of installing it and copying my SD card to M2 SSD. The speeds are impressive. I've seen 428 ms online but the SSD that came with mine are 440 Ms. Will recommend to a friend”

“Although it was interesting to assemble, there were clear instructions and a good video. Once I managed to get the software/firmware settings correct, it works perfectly and boots very quickly. And it looks to be very well made as well.”

“Easy to install, both hardware and software. A significant speed increase compared to an SD-card. Recommended for everyone who wants stable and fast storage.”

“This is a really clean board design. I like that the drive socket is on the top of the board and that there are no components on the bottom, making it possible to use the NVMe Base as the bottom panel of your project. No need for additional stand-off bolts. Pimoroni provides a bag of screws with some extra nuts, bolts, and rubber feet, so you don't necessarily need to purchase a case for your Raspberry Pi 5.”

“This is an excellent piece of kit. It’s easy to assemble and it provides excellent performance. This HAT just gives a bit more security to your PI5 setup, removing the reliance on sd card. Really pleased with my purchase.”
