“The Pimoroni NVMe Base Duo for Raspberry Pi 5 is a fantastic addition for anyone looking to enhance their Raspberry Pi's storage capabilities. The only thing to keep in mind is that you’ll need an external power supply to make sure everything runs smoothly, as NVMe drives tend to require more power.”
“You should provide a longer flat cable PCIE connections.
Also you should move the position of the connector on NVME as it will cover the MicroSD card, blocking any kind of extraction of it.
Nice to have is also a kind of heat cooler in case we will use HAilo 8, and a proper Case for RP5, as there is no really a lot of oprtion for it.”
“Since it is now possible to boot on an NVMe drive, I wanted to try making a RAID boot drive using two M.2 SSDs, and it worked! Would be awesome to have PCIE v3 speeds, but it already does a solid job!”
“Massive shoutout to Haley from the Pimoroni team. I was shipped what I suspected to be a defective board from a local vendor. Haley was very courteous and after reading the details I preemptively sent over agreed and asked for the order details. Soon after, two weeks later I received a functional board.
Thank you so much for the stellar support and quick rectification which made for a pleasant experience, Haley.”
