The base is excellent, perfectly matching the pi. But what I enjoyed the most is that documentation along with video makes the process of installing it hassle free and easy.

nice and closed the initial requirement to rely on SSD at a maximum speed for Home Assistant

Very good and comprehensive kit. Easy to assemble if a little fiddley due to the size of the components. Worked straight out of the box with very little setup required. Overall an interesting experience.

The best upgrade everyone should add to their RaspberryPi5. The increase in disk I/O is massive when compared to an SD card, even high speed SD cards. The Pi5 boots in seconds and I'm now able to use the KDE-Plasma Desktop and still have a snappy, fast, reactive desktop experience! Apps start instantly, O/S updates are super fast and the Pi5 now makes a great desktop computer. Such a shame the new Pi500 doesn't have NVME SSD capability, a deal breaker!

Clear, detailed, instructions made fitting the base very easy. Installing the OS was so quick I thought it had failed to do it properly. Setting up, installing updates, and running for the first time was amazing. Having multiple programs and terminals running simultaneously is incredible. If you're thinking about buying a Pi 5 then factor this base into your budget. If you have a 5 already this should be right at the top of your shopping list. Delivery was less than 24 hours from ordering to fitted and running!

Great Product, Easy to assemble and worked first time after following instructions on website. Installed Home Assistant to NVMe and booted.
