“I found the NVMe base along with the 500 GB SSD to be a perfect way to increase the storage on my Raspberry pi 5.
It was very easy to attach to the pi and worked perfectly. The only slight issue I found was the length of the supplied ribbon cable was a little short but this was easily rectified by the purchase of the longer one that is available that is available which solved the problem of being able to the SD slot if needed. The delivery time in both cases was very good and prises are spot on. I would recommend this product strongly as it allows full access to all the pi's gpio pins as it fits perfectly under pi.”
“Installation was pretty straightforward. Installed the SSD, formatted and installed the OS and it boots right up. I've ordered another for my other Rpi 5. Well done!”
“Not much to say. I read the instructions carefully, prepared myself for the fiddly bits mounting the link cable, and it all assembled on the new Pi 5 with no trouble at all. I followed the software instructions, copied over the microSD, and enabled PCIE3- again with no trouble at all. I overclocked at my own risk to 2.9GHz, and long stress sessions taxed the active cooler. Huge speed increases on Raspi Diagnostics. I am thrilled at the greater than expected increase in performance”
“i have 2 and are very pleased. Y.
1. the smaller surface area helps keep the pi cooler.
2. easy to mount.
3. both went on first fire up.
love them K.P.”
“Installation was easy and my Pi is a speedy beast now running Home Assistant! A couple of nits: The kit didn't include enough screws to secure all 4 points between the two boards, but it felt secure enough with 2. Would reccommend.”
“I bought the NVMe Base for Raspberry Pi 5 with the 500 GB nvme ssd. It is working very well. However the ablity to clone the sd card to then nvme ssd does not work in Pi5 desktop. Pimoroni was a quick shipping but customs at both ends slow the delivery.”
