“This is the second unit I have purchased, and the NVMe Drives and base are easy to install, I especially like the BASE mount that gives me full access to all my GPIO pins, Camera, and monitor ports. The first unit hase been flawlessly working for 5 months at gen 3 speeds. I want to mention the nice service and packaging from Pimoroni and the emails I receive on my order status and shipping updates follow through. I can highly recommend the product, and especially the company and their excellent procedures to complete your order.”
“Hello, excellent purchase, easy assembly and quick installation. Used with Debian bookworm desktop. Inserted in a new case printed with a 3D printer. Satisfied.”
“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”
