“My PIM700, NVMe Base + 500GB SSD, came with a Netac NV2000. With the Gen 3 setting on my RPi5, the pibenchmarks.com score was 53,008. I used a Vilros Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler Compatible Case to build an open-sided stack: short screw - Vilros bottom - 6mm M-F standoff - Pimoroni Base - 1mm washer - 6mm M-F standoff - RPi5 + active cooler - 17mm M-M standoff - Vilros top - short screw.”
“To create an Algorand node with a Raspberry Pi 5 hat, I needed fast memory. After 10 minutes, the Algorand node was up and running perfectly in sync with the blockchain.”
“The NVMe Base arrived last week. It was easy to assemble and install the operating system. My only complaint is the imager won't run from a virtual terminal (headless). I had to get VNC running from the sd to run rpi-imager from the gui. Apart from that it was all painless and seems to be solid. Waiting for a case to put it in.”
