“Good quality case with excelent on line support documentation
My nvme case arrived two days after ordering in good order due twell packaged without wasting resources and filling my bin with stuffing. So top marks there.
The small screws and bolts are in a zip lock bag, so much easier to manage the build when you haven't had to rip a polythene bag with your teeth and scatter hardware around the room and scare the cat to boot.
Assembly is quite easy and the pimori have provided excellent in line guides. Only fiddly bit is fitting the ribbon cable between drive and PCB connector socket, I would recommend you watch a YouTube tutorial about ZIF connectors if you have never used one before. Although definitely not a necessity having a pair of needle nose pliers came in handy for me. So if you have them get them out ready.
After that slightly tricky bit the rest is plain sailing. If you can turn a screwdriver then you can complete this simple project and protect your precious expensive ram chips in a robust professional looking case .
Overall for delivery quality of product and support I have to give 10/10”
“It's a simple folded metal case which works exactly as one might expect.
"Construction" is very straightforward, thiugh much easier if you have a couple of decent box spanners, as recommended on their excellent instructions on the website.
I highly recommend this & Pimorioni, whose service & support are excellent.”
“Nice case, easily assembled. The only thing I found a bit strange is that the NVMe Base is mounted directly on the bottom of the case without spacer.”
“Inserting both boards, the mounting pillars and the ribbon cable are unnecessarily troublesome, due to the poor, unimaginative design. The fitting of the ribbon cable is particularly precarious. A product should meet-and-exceed the expectations of the customer. This does neither.
Common sense would tell us that the main PCB, memory extension PCB and ribbon cable should be assembled as one unit, then fitted as a tested, single unit into its case.
Utter junk, sorry...”
Ahoy Neil
Sorry to hear you're unhappy with this case! We do sell longer ribbon cables which give you a bit more wiggle room when connecting up the two boards - drop us an email at support@pimoroni.com if you'd like us to send you one out. Alternatively, let us know if you'd prefer to return the case for a refund and we can send you our returns details.
“Super good. Small, robust and supported by very clear, helpful video guidance. If you have this box as well as the NVMe board, follow these instructions rather than the ones for the board.”
