Very easy to understand instructions. I was able to replace my SD card with the Solid State Drive in a very short time. It boots up faster than I can open the SHH software so no waiting around. The only surprise was that the partition on the drive was initially the same size as the SD card. It took me a little while to figure out how to maximise the partition to use all the drive capacity. (It is in the menu at 'sudo raspi-config')

I used an NVMe SSD to replace the USB SSD boot volume on my Pi 5. The difference is truly astonishing. And the NVMe Base makes it a much prettier package to look at. The Pi audio streamer no longer hides behind the hifi amplifier but takes pride of place next to it.

Works really well with pi 5 with the 2 advantages. 1 leaves top of Pi5 free 2 by removing a couple of screws can change the SSD, either for another OS or larger capacity. One thing I would suggest is that two pcie connector ribbons be included

The base is excellent, perfectly matching the pi. But what I enjoyed the most is that documentation along with video makes the process of installing it hassle free and easy.

nice and closed the initial requirement to rely on SSD at a maximum speed for Home Assistant
