- This is the Pimoroni NVMe Base for Raspberry Pi 5. After booting Raspberry Pi OS from an NVMe drive, I won't be going back to SD cards.

Got more out of this 4 minute video than the hour long read through or the other 25 minute long videoos about this, thankyou
You’ve sold me on it! Appreciate you showing how to assemble it all too ❤
Just got mine a couple of days ago, and it does heavily increase the usability of the Pi. It gets to a point were, you have the NVMe base, the active cooler, the case, battery CMOS back up, and you might as well just have a PC, lol. I think it is having a bit of an identity crisis.
Case where you can also fit the nvme base with the official active cooler?
A mac mini m2 makes much more sense, I know it costs more than an Pi 5. But performance is vastly better, plus it looks pretty cool - A pi 5 together with the compoents to make it half useful look pretty ugly
Thanks for the hands-on review...Just ordered this...looked at all the HATs out there and didn't want any of them because I want a large tower cooler on mine.
Subbed because you are to the point and very consistent.
I'd sooner you add midroll ads then make your videos needlessly longer, very impressed with your work.
Great vid Jason, covered all the bases for us lot 👍
Just got mine today and had the Gigabyte NVMe 128GB M.2 Solid State Drive, via USB and enclosure before and wanted a neater setup so got the base and holy S**t it boots up instantly, I never expected this at all. Thanks for your video on the setup required to boot from it.
Excellent and simple. Can you recommend an enclosure that this finished installation is compatible with? I am flexible on cooling: I can use the "official" cooling separately or go with a case that has a solution.
I can report that the TEAMGROUP MP44Q 1TB SLC Cache Gen 4x4 M.2 works. I also got it installed with the full install of the GeeekPi ICE Tower Plus cooler...just had to order some longer M2.5 screws.
nice video Jason. thank you for the content.
And bench mark other SSD with that base. Glad to see they added little rubber feet in the kit.
Just an FYI - I received my Pimoroni NVMe and it functionally works fine. However, the placement of the mounting holes caused the edge of the NVMe board to extend just beyond that of the PI5's edge. That made it impossible for me to fit the two boards into a case that expected the boards to be flush. Fortunately, the board has very few traces and I safely expanded the mounting holes with a drill bit edge so that I could slide the NVMe board back enough to fit in the case.
Thank you for the video on Pimoroni NVMe Base for Raspberry Pi 5. I'm new to your channel. I only found one case that fits bottom NVMe boards for Raspberry Pi 5, but I guess we will see more in the future.
I'm hoping argon made a BOTTOM NVME expansion for their One BRED CASE. Until then I'm just using a poor quality Ugreen nvme enclosure I got to use as a thumb drive.
There is one on Printables that I made
Which one is yours? I’ve seen two models on Printables.
Thanks a lot for the video .... and it's sooo fast now.
It's great to see the pi supporting nvme as it will make the platform more appealing. I know it's still early days for pi 5 and it takes time for supporting hardware to get released. But if you were looking for a fully passive case to house a pi 5 with an nvme ssd and preferably with an external WiFi antenna, not USB (would that mean including a CM4 too?), where would be a good place to look? There's lots of mini pc cases and barebones systems with these features but none that I can see for the pi, yet anyway. Though I guess that's because there are so many different pi boards out there.
It sounds like you need the LattePanda 3 Delta.
@@iam.jasonhoward Thank you! That looks like a versatile system. Believe it or not, since watching your video I saw this one of possibly exactly what I'm looking for. I hadn't considered Nvidia Jetson or other boards before but this might actually be ideal. I'm looking for something for astrophotography that's more affordable than the ZWO Asiair, which is good but overpriced, imo. It turns out the Jetson has some dedicated libraries for astronomy and astrophotography so I might consider it. Even though it's more expensive it could be very worth it. More research needed. Thanks again! 🙂

I got mine a few weeks ago. It's up and running and is so much faster. Does anyone have a link to a case that fits? I hear Pimoroni might be coming out with one, but when?
I haven’t heard anything yet. But if and when it does come out, I’ll buy it.
about to ask the same, i saw on internet some custom print designs but nothing on market :(
Do not buy any WD Black NVME drive, not compatible, throws lots of errors, get the Samsung 980 Pro instead, works like a charm.
I think I'm gnona cut a slit on the official case to feed the cable through and then run the nvme board underneath it.
nope, doesn't fit, need a case.
Great video. Can this be done within Ubuntu?
Yes it can.
Just got my first one for my pi5 4gb. Waiting for 2nd for my pi5 8gb. Argone one SSD runs great on my Pi4 8gb. Let you know how this runs. Thanks for the video.
Good idea , is the ribbon cable long enough to use slightly longer stand offs for a NVME heat sink ?
Unfortunately no.
@@iam.jasonhoward Maybe Red Shirt Jeff can make it fit 🤣
Great video but is there a case available that can hold the nvme board and pi5 ?? I have just got my pi5 and nvme but not managed to find a case yet
Pimoroni has not released a case for it yet. There are cases you can 3D print. Check thangsdotcom and search “pimoroni nvme base”.
Retiring SD cards??? 👀👀👀👀
nice vid bro
curious if this works with the Pibow coupe 5
Hi have you done home assistant yet?
Not yet.
Yes please do kali
Could you update us on how the heat on the NVME effects tempts on the pi. I was totting up between this hat or the pineberry and I ended up going with the pineberry because the nvme was bottom facing which was better for air flow and the heat would be dispersed outward and not into the bottom of the pi
what case fit whit Pimoroni base?
No official one yet. Plenty that can be 3D printed.
are you still able to stick that into the official raspi case?
I don’t have to officially Pi 5 case. But, there is a case you can 3D Print for it. Search “Hot Toddy” on the Printables website.
I have official pi5 case. Will let you know when I get time to install it.
is there any nice case to protect the raspberry after mounting this base?
There's a few that you can 3D print.
Awesome. Test , compare it against the Pineberry Bottom “hat” M2 SSD.
i second this
The NVMe Base and Pineberry HAT function the same. The only difference is the Pineberry has an optional redundant power supply.
but one has the nvme facing upwards towards the bottom of the pi and one faces outwards. would be interestong to see the effects off head and air flow between the two@@iam.jasonhoward
@ParkerGraysonNZB Okay. I'll order one whenever they announce the next batch. I have a top NVMe hat from another company on the way. Be on the lookout for that video next week.
love the commitment! super interested to see if the inward or outward placement has much effect on the pi or drive from the heat@@iam.jasonhoward
Lets see Ubuntu/Kali/Manjaro
I'm interested to know why youtube streaming would be faster with nvme ssd. That's all processed in ram and cpu/gpu
It just is. 😂
the browser's cache is not stored in ram, which is what speeds up loading different pages of the same website
interesting...however....RPi5 DOES NOT EXIST (where am at)
(but will definitely get one if RPi5 falls from the heavens)😉
It's a compete piece of garbage. The catch on the PCIe port is one of the flimsiest things i've ever seen, mine dropped off after gentle touch...the whole unit is now in a landfill
Did you try to return it?
@@iam.jasonhoward Thanks for asking, I couldn't be bothered with the hassle and just binned it. I've put the SSD dive into a Gigimondo USB enclosure and it's happily working with my mac mini
I have the same Sabrent enclosure. :D
