“Easy to mounth and super usefull the possibility to add an ssd during the purchase.
I will by another Raspberry Pi 5 directly by you with another nvme mounth.
Support with explanations and video is super.
Thank you Pimoroni guys ;)”
“It works, but it doesn't fit in the case. I've tried two different cases that claim to fit this board and it doesn't fit. looking carefully the board is slightly too big and quite unnecesarily so. So, I'm in the process of 3D printing a unique case, just for this. Poor.”
Ahoy Michael,
Sorry to hear you're unhappy with the size - the Base is longer than the Pi so that it can accommodate 2280 form factor drives. We're currently working on a case that should work nicely with NVMe Base and NVMe Base Duo and hopefully we should have something to share on this front soon.
If you'd rather return it for a refund please drop us an email at support@pimoroni.com and we can send you over our returns details.
“Hello from Romania , ordered the NVME Base + SSD 256GB , installed it very quickly and it runs without any problems.
I even asked a guy here to make a custom case , 3d plastic printed and fitted nicely
I would also recommand PIMORONI to create a custom case to fit the NVMe base (easy to be printed). I think the guys would buy it along with Pi5 + NVMe base”
“Great addon, was very easy to copy the SD card to the M.2 drive, it booted first time no problems and it's really quick, would reccomend to anyone thinking of this upgrade.”
