“The NVMe base duo is a very good product but I can only get my raspberry pi 5 to see only 1 of the 2 attached 250GB NVMe drives, I've updated the pi 5 following the FAQ but still only one drive works on channel B, maybe I am doing something which is being overlooked but I like it and will continue to persevere with getting it to work.”
“Got this with aim of building a 2TB RAID1 NAS. So far only tested with a single disk but working well as a file server for Windows clients. Keen to see if two disks running through the single multiplexed PCIe channel run fast.
Lots of moans about how the PCIe ribbon blocks access to the SD card but better to boot from a USB thumbdrive.”
“I built mine into a kksb case SKU: 105958 for use with a samsung 500gb SSD and a Hailo 8L NPU + heatsinks, modified the pi 5 cooling fan with a card shroud to push the heat to one side of the case. I used a table knife to control the angle at which I bent the slats to make a louvred vent either side. then using some celluloid from a bubble pack I made an nvme sized plate plate to mount a fan over the nvme board to keep the SSD & NPU cool. All working realy cool.”
