(No ratings yet)

Key item features

Dual NVMe Storage: Allows the addition of two super-fast NVMe SSDs, supporting M.2 2230 to 2280 sizes, to the Raspberry Pi 5 for expanded storage capabilities.
PCIe Interface: Provides a PCIe Gen 2 x1 interface to the NVMe drives through a packet switcher, enabling fast data transfer speeds.
Compact Mounting: Features a compact design that can be mounted either under or over the Raspberry Pi 5, including rubber feet for convenient placement.
Design Compliance: Adheres to Raspberry Pi's "PIP" design guidelines, ensuring long-term support and compatibility with Raspberry Pi OS updates.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for transforming the Raspberry Pi 5 into a file server, media center, or home automation server, benefiting from large, fast storage and redundancy.
Boot Limitation: Currently, booting directly from NVMe drives installed on the NVMe Base Duo is not supported, requiring an initial boot from an SD card.

About this item

Product details

NVMe Base Duo is a PCIe Gen 2 extension board for Raspberry Pi 5. Simply populate it with one or two M-key NVMe SSDs (2230 to 2280 sizes supported) and mount it under (or over) 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, home automation server with built in backup, etc. - really any task that benefits from large amounts of fast storage, redundancy, or just to make use of a couple of spare disks - especially with random high operations per second (IOPS) workloads. In short it's a game changer! NVMe Base Duo 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! NOTE: You cannot boot from NVMe drives installed on NVMe Base Duo. We hope the RPi 5 firmware will support this in the future, but for now, it can only boot from drives that are the root device on the PCIe Bus. i.e. not behind a packet switcher/multiplexer. You'll need to boot from SD and then the system can handover to the pair of fast SSDs!
