NVMe Base is a PCIe extension board for Raspberry Pi 5. Simply populate it with an M-key NVMe SSD (2230 to 2280 sizes supported) and mount it under your Pi for a compact and fast storage solution – It even comes with rubber feet!
It’s the perfect solution for turning your Raspberry Pi 5 into a file server, media centre, reverse proxy, etc. – any task that benefits from large amounts of fast storage, especially with random high operations per second (IOPS) workloads. In short, it’s a game-changer!
NVMe base follows the new “PIP” design guidelines provided by Raspberry Pi ensuring that it will be easy to use and be supported long term by updates to Raspberry Pi OS – though it is very early days and things are improving rapidly there!
We also stock the NVMe Base Duo from Pimoroni! Plus we stock replacement 35mm and alternative 50mm PCIe cables to give you a variety of options for connecting and placing your NVMe Base
Raspberry Pi Firmware
For the most hassle-free experience, make sure your Raspberry Pi OS is up to date, and your RPi 5 firmware is updated to 2023-12-06 (Dec 6th) or newer. This supports all the features of the RPi PCIe spec and means you don’t have to mess with config files to get started.
