“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
