It does what I wanted which was to run OMV without an SD card. My only complaint is the PCIe cable. It goes over the SD card slot on the RPi5. I still need the card to setup the OS. The single Pimoroni card did not have this design issue. I wish Pimoroni would come out with a case hopefully with fans for the NVMe. When copying files I've seen disk temperatures reported by OMV over 70C.

There's no documentation regarding larger NVME's. I have two 2TB NVMEs and it looks like there's not enough power. I see the 5V and ground pads but not sure if I should use them. Why are they pads and not an easy connection like a barrel fitting or JST? I submitted a help request.

Dinged 1 start since this is support PCI 2 speeds only and not PCI 3 like the single nvme base. Tho its mentioned in the description it was not supper apparent at all that this card would not support PCI 3 speeds.
