Raspberry Pi 5 NVMe Base

The Pimoroni NVMe Base is a PCIe extension board that adds an M.2 slot to a Raspberry Pi 5. It enables the use of NVMe solid-state storage for faster boot and application performance. The accessory carries model number PIM699 and is supplied new.

Casual computing projects needing faster storage

This board suits hobbyists and developers who want quicker disk access on a Raspberry Pi 5 for general tasks. It is not intended for users who require enterprise-grade endurance or server-class I/O throughput.

NVMe over PCIe interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the NVMe protocol running over the Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe lane. Only drives that support this interface will function with the extension board.
