NVMe Base for Raspberry Pi 5

This NVMe HAT designed by Pimoroni allows you to add super fast storage to your Raspberry Pi 5.

The NVMe Base is a PCIe expansion card for the Raspberry Pi 5. Add an M-key NVMe SSD (with support from 2230 to 2280) and mount it under your Raspberry Pi for a compact and fast storage solution. It is the ideal solution for turning your Raspberry Pi 5 into a file server, media center, reverse proxy, etc.; for really any task that benefits from large amounts of fast storage, especially with arbitrarily high operations per second (IOPS) workloads.

The NVMe Base is mounted under your Pi and rests on the included rubber feet, providing a stable base. This allows you to use the Pi and base without an enclosure, but if you want to protect your setup a little better, you can order a suitable enclosure here.

NVMe base follows the new "PIP" design guidelines of Raspberry Pi, so it will be easy to use and will be supported by long-term updates to Raspberry Pi OS.

Raspberry Pi Firmware

For the most trouble-free experience, make sure your Raspberry Pi OS is up-to-date and that your RPi 5 firmware has been updated to the latest version. This supports all features of the RPi PCIe specification and means you don't have to fiddle with configuration files to get started.
