Very quick & simple to assemble. I followed the instructions on the Pimoroni page and very shortly had a Pi 5 booting from a 250gb NVME. Pi 5 now runs faster than ever!

As an experiment, I set up my Pi 5 with the NVMe Base and 256GB SSD (plus 3GHz overclock) and I'm now able to edit 4k video from my Gopro! This is a revelation! My tiny 8GB Rasperry Pi 5 is doing the impossible. I highly, highly recommend the SSD and Base as the ultimate Pi upgrade. What an astounding time to be alive.

Excellent add on. Almost an anticlimax to use, as it was simple to intall and set up. Speeds up boot and operating no end.

The NVMe base is relatively easy to install and get setup. I am now happily booting at the unofficial Gen3 speed off the included 250Gb M.2 drive. in a 3D-printed case to boot!

What a difference! The Raspberry Pi 5 was a big improvement over the Raspberry pi 4 and this NVME Base with a 250GB ssd improved it even more. Boots so much faster, opening files seems almost instantaneous. Mounting under the RPi makes for such a compact installation and leaves everything accessible as well. Very well designed!

This is the second unit I have purchased, and the NVMe Drives and base are easy to install, I especially like the BASE mount that gives me full access to all my GPIO pins, Camera, and monitor ports. The first unit hase been flawlessly working for 5 months at gen 3 speeds. I want to mention the nice service and packaging from Pimoroni and the emails I receive on my order status and shipping updates follow through. I can highly recommend the product, and especially the company and their excellent procedures to complete your order.
