NVMe Base for Raspberry Pi 5 M.2 HAT PCIe Extension Board (M.2 2230 to 2280 Supported) (0TB (M.2))

It works! Plugged the Team Group 1Gb and 2 Gb ssds in and got my pi's running faster.Some caveats...1) If you're using the 1U pi rack (uctronics) these won't fit and still allow the ports to stick out of the pre-cut openings in the removable trays without some modifications to the tray (at least not for me).2) the Duo uses a straight ribbon cable to attach the pi to the NVMe card. this can get in the way of the sd card slot and definitely causes issues with the sd card adapter that allows you to mount the sd card to the front of the pi rack tray.3) be careful with the connector on the pi - its extremely fragile. the part is super small so theres not a lot of plastic holding one piece to another. be sure not to drop the pi while plugging unplugging the ribbon cable. I had to attach and remove the cable multiple times trying to make the whole thing fit on the tray. Even with a lot of care, I ended up cracking the latch and had to get a buy another connector so I remove the latch to use on the exiting pi.

Does the job well, lots of power, and memory

This board work great. I use it as the boot and storage for my R-Pi5 based plex server. Have two 2Tb NVME’s as boot/storage. Makes the pi boot really fast. It was easy to setup. I didn’t have any issues with the ribbon cable. Spent a few minutes understanding how the clips worked. Went right in. My only complaint is that a simple assembly guide for attaching the Pi5 to the top would have been helpful. Just something that showed which screws went where. It wasn’t hard to figure out but would have saved me 5 min looking at pictures I. The mfg website.

Works perfectly out of the box as long as you have the most recent bootloader installed via raspi-config and set boot order to nvme once you’ve done that you’re free to installed your os of choice directly to the nvme drive.

... missing NVMe drive spacers (in bag of screws) ... Had to improvise.

Excellent choice to undermount an nvme and AI kit hat. Was able to fit the pi 5 bumper to the bottom too.

Works great Raspberry PI5 with 1TB Crucial SSD P3.

Hard to review when you only received part of the order. I selected the version with a 1TB module but ONLY received the memory, no base.
