“Recently bought the case for a new private cloud project and so far it doesn't disappoint. The WD nvme black 2TB is compatible and works like a charm. The fan is much quieter then expected. The only drawback is that once the NVMe is installed no easy way to access the SD card. For my use cases this is an issue but not crucial. The other bit for improvement is the base which is gloss plastic, would have been better if it was full metal or a other textured plastic that feels more solid.”
“Nice solid case for your PI5, includes cooling and place for an nvme drive
The regular PI5 case comes with a cooling fan but you cannot fit the PI5 nvme hat into the case :(
This is a solid aluminum case with cooling and space for your nvme drive with space for longer nvme drives in addition to poviding cooling for the nvme drive also
It is fiddly to get the cable's connected and once assembled you cannot access the micro sd card and you have to manually install the drivers for the nvme adaptor (full instructions included) but once you are up and running it is unlikley you would need to remove the card or disamble the unit”
“I bought this case when they were first issued and was very impressed at that time except for the PCIe ribbon cable. This is my second purchase of it, but 20% off the price this time for Black Friday - nice! Comparing, there is one critical improvement - the ribbon cable looks much better quality and also it now matches the description in the instructions, i.e. I suspect I received a poorer quality cable in my earlier case. Apart from that it is the same very high quality. Main areas for improvement are still: Lack of a stow area for the RTC battery. Fan is not the quietest. Access to the uSD. The lid is loose if not screwed in.”
“I don't normally leave reviews but here we go...
Impulse buy, needed a better case for rpi5 and nvme ssd and saw Black Friday discount so took a punt.
Excellent little case, all screws fine, only difficulty was fitting the ribbon cable between the two boards with my sausage fingers and poor eyesight.
Buy it.”
