I loved how they resolved my case and how kind they were to send me a new Pimoroni Duo base. Greetings from Argentina! ❤️

It runs both a 2242 NVME and the AI module in parallel, just make sure your power supply is strong enough

Excellent for its capabilities, however the SSDs are higher than the regular NVMe Base, so addiing heatsinks to SSDs is problematic with the reguler pcie ribbon, also it doesn't fit in the new NVMe case. Also the power on leds are very bright and don't seem to be controlled via /sys/class/leds/ This review seems negative, but it is truly a very good piece of hardware that does very well what it has been designed for!

Easy to setup, bootable, now I have a tiny but ugly NAS!

A brilliant base for setting up a RAID 0 or RAID 1 with my Raspberry Pi 5. Also, I’d like to mention that I’m from Spain and I give Pimoroni a 10 out of 10 for the hassle-free delivery to my home and the support they have given me.

Thanks to this little device, my Pi 5 is now working as a NextCloud server. Being able to use separate NVMe drives for system and data is reassuring. I can now update the system drive without any fears of meddling with the data. Construction is simple and instructions on the web site very clear (be aware the tiny nuts are very small). I prefer this design over the original single slot variant as I found the ribbon to be slightly easier to fit. I will need a new case as the height has changed since I used my single slot base board, but I need something more sound proof anyway (nextcloud memories indexing photos makes the fan really spin).
