It was promptly shipped and very easy to attach to the pi 5. It was easy to set the pi to use it and it works fantastic. I highly recommend it.

Everything is in the package. It all fits well, and it has worked for me every time. I wish all pi upgrades worked as well as yours. Thank you

Fits beautifully under the Pi5 NVMe fixing screw seems missing or doesn't include a rubber post or spacer.

Ahoy Gabriel, Sorry to hear that you're missing fixings - you should have two M2 nuts and a M2 screw to hold the drive in place. There's photos showing assembly in our Learn guide: https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-nvme-base If anything's missing please drop us a line at support@pimoroni.com with a photo of what you've received and we'll get it sorted :)

The base is ok, but for the price of 50+ UKP I would have expected a slightly longer ribbon. The included ribbon makes it hard to use a case, although the base can be mounted upside down on a pibow case, but this meant I had to remove the audio hat. I’ve had to buy a Chinese clone cable from eBay instead.

Ahoy Stephen We've got some longer ribbon cables on order, they should be on the store in the next few weeks.

This makes my Pi5 fly. Easy to install and doesn't obstruct the micro SD card slot. What a great product!
