Adafruit Pimoroni NVMe Base Duo for Raspberry Pi 5

Add two super-fast NVMe SSDs to your Raspberry Pi 5, enhancing both redundancy and storage capacity. The Pimoroni NVMe Base Duo serves as a PCIe Gen 2 extension board for Raspberry Pi 5, allowing installation of one or two M-key NVMe SSDs, compatible with sizes 2230 to 2280, under or over your Pi for a sleek, rapid storage solution.

This setup transforms your Raspberry Pi 5 into a file server, media center, or reverse proxy, ideal for tasks that demand extensive and swift storage, especially for random high IOPS workloads. With support for booting from NVMe drives, this board follows Raspberry Pi's "PIP" design guidelines for long-term compatibility with Raspberry Pi OS updates.

The NVMe Base Duo PCB features two M.2 slots and includes a 'PCIe Flex' Flat Flex Cable, rubber feet, mounting bolts, and standoffs, offering a seamless experience. Recommended operation is at PCIe Gen 2 x 1 speeds, enabling around 450MB/sec total throughput, or 220MB/sec+ per disk. A must-have accessory for maximizing your Raspberry Pi 5's potential, though it is not compatible with Pi 4 or earlier models.
