NVMe Base for Raspberry Pi 5 M.2 HAT PCIe Extension Board (M.2 2230 to 2280 Supported) (0TB (M.2))

I used one, not for a raspberry pi, but on a particle tachyon board. It is working great. Installation is a bit tricky as the ribbon cable is somewhat delicate and getting it inserted “just so” takes a couple attempts. But very happy with it now that it’s installed and working.

Worked great on the Particle Tachyon as well as the RADXA Dragon Q6a and just this morning I connected it to the RADXA Cubie A7A and it's booting from the NVME. Well worth the money. Love Pimoroni products!!

A little pricey but works well.

works great with my Pi5

It works! Plugged the Team Group 1Gb and 2 Gb ssds in and got my pi's running faster. Some caveats... 1) If you're using the 1U pi rack (uctronics) these won't fit and still allow the ports to stick out of the pre-cut openings in the removable trays without some modifications to the tray (at least not for me). 2) the Duo uses a straight ribbon cable to attach the pi to the NVMe card. this can get in the way of the sd card slot and definitely causes issues with the sd card adapter that allows you to mount the sd card to the front of the pi rack tray. 3) be careful with the connector on the pi - its extremely fragile. the part is super small so theres not a lot of plastic holding one piece to another. be sure not to drop the pi while plugging unplugging the ribbon cable. I had to attach and remove the cable multiple times trying to make the whole thing fit on the tray. Even with a lot of care, I ended up cracking the latch and had to get a buy another connector so I remove the latch to use on the exiting pi.

A little fiddler to setup, but once you have storage reporting into the Pi and get an OS installed, it is fantastic. I used an SD card to install RPi desktop, then used the terminal to verify the NVMe drive was available… after that, use RaperryPi Imager to write whatever image you want to the SSD/NVMe. Remove the SD card and you are golden… in my case HASOS.

That's my second (identical) Pimoroni NVME board. They work well. The cable isn't too hard to install; take your time and understand how it works if you have never done it before. Overall, a problem-free product I have installed with 2 Pi 5

This board work great. I use it as the boot and storage for my R-Pi5 based plex server. Have two 2Tb NVME’s as boot/storage. Makes the pi boot really fast. It was easy to setup. I didn’t have any issues with the ribbon cable. Spent a few minutes understanding how the clips worked. Went right in. My only complaint is that a simple assembly guide for attaching the Pi5 to the top would have been helpful. Just something that showed which screws went where. It wasn’t hard to figure out but would have saved me 5 min looking at pictures I. The mfg website.
