Oh my god, the dream has come true! After pre-ordering, I got this today. It perfects every single thing. The material, sizing, quality, and delivery time are the best of the best. I will try to attach my NVME right now. Very Excited. Thank you very much, PIMORONI .

Excellent add on for your RPi 5. Fits well and all the bits you need to suit varying options. The offset cable is a great asset allowing access to the sd card slot. I have another NVMe board the cover this slot. I will be purchasing a second board from Pimoroni.

Just what the RP always needed fast storage, must have addon.

If your fingers are large and unsteady like mine you might find it fiddly to assemble, esp connecting the data ribbon, but once installed it works great.

Finally! NVMe boot in a pi footprint... Great product, well engineered. Literally took me 15 mins to assemble, fit, and transfer o/s onto the new NVMe drive. I get some reasonable performance too. 828MB/s reads according to hdparm. Pi boots so fast now. Great for an RPi desktop, or a media server / player etc. Looking forward to some cases which will fit. I think in the description there was talk that Pimoroni are working on one, but hopefully some other alternatives too.

Very easy to put together, although I did have to watch the video carefully. Once constructed, the Pi becomes a nice compact device which can live in the smallest of spaces! Worked well with Ubuntu 23.10 as well.
