NVMe Base for Raspberry Pi 5 – NVMe Base Duo

Add two NVMe SSDs to your Raspberry Pi 5 with this NVME Duo board from Pimoroni.

NVMe Base Duo is a PCIe Gen 2 expansion card for the Raspberry Pi 5. Insert one or two M-key NVMe SSD's (lengths 2230 to 2280) and mount it under (or above) your Pi for a compact and fast storage solution.

It is the perfect solution to turn your Raspberry Pi 5 into a file server, media centre, reverse proxy, home automation server with built-in backup, etc. - really any task that benefits from large amounts of fast storage, or just to make use of a few spare disks - especially with random high operations per second (IOPS) workloads.

NVMe Base Duo follows Raspberry Pi's new "PIP" design guidelines, so it will be easy to use and supported by long-term updates to Raspberry Pi OS.

Please update to the latest firmware version if you want to boot of one of the the SSD's
